0x80070005 Cannot access my on my own files

[jangil]

I have recovered files from a non bootable hard drive (virus)and copied them on a another. As things seemed to work fine i formatted the rotten hardidsk but i found out i could not open the files i had copied (it's not the virus anymore the new harddrive is clean)and i had a 0x80070005 message (access denied seems i haven't got right on those files even if i'm logged as administrator). Any idea on how i could fix that embarrassing problem?

Thanks for your help

Sorry for my english

You'll need to get into the security settings for the folders and using the advanced properties "take ownership" of the folders while logged on as an administrator.

I was just wondering if those files were encrypted files, otherwise taking ownership should help you out.
