Access Denied? - Epictetus - 12-12-2025
I am trying to access a file(s) in a HBS image. I have no problem mounting the image using the usual Mount/Unmount in HBS but when I get to where I want to go I get the Access Denied message. The image was made by me but on someone else's machine.
What am I doing wrong?

You've encountered a typical Windows permissions conflict. This backup image was created on another computer, and the file permissions within it still belong to the user account from the original computer. Since different computers have distinct Security Identifiers (SIDs), Windows is denying you access to these files.

Is there a way around this so the files can be accessed on the "new" computer?
I actually recently moved a ton of files from an HBS image on a different computer to the one I'm using now and didn't run into this problem. I did mount the images involved as writeable, maybe that made a difference?

I'm sorry, there is currently no better solution. You can only mount the image in writable mode and then try to change the file permissions.

I think that's what I ended up doing, actually, for a few things.
