Question: I made an image of my entire C:\ drive using EaseUS Todo Backup Free, before formatting and setting up a new Windows (7 Professional) system. I can mount that image read-only in Todo Backup and copy over a few files which I need, everything fine up to here.

Problem is, I need to access some of the files in C:\Users\dvrcoder files on that image. I can't access them since they are owned by the "old" dvrcoder user (whose SID was different than the new one on the new Windows system). I also can't obtain ownership of the files, because the mounted backup image is read-only.

Can I somehow "connect" to the drive using a different SID? Or mount it in a different way? Or make a new user with a SID corresponding to the old one? Or access the files in some other way?

Answer: 
You can copy the folder in question to your local disk using robocopy.

Start an administrative command line window by typing `cmd` into the Start Menu and pressing Control-Shift-ENTER.

Assuming the volume is mounted as drive E, and that you are running as administrator, type the following command:

```
robocopy /e /b e:\users\dvrcoder c:\copy-of-dvrcoder

```

The /b option tells robocopy to use backup privilege to override the security permissions.
Have you tried [taking ownership of the folder](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753659.aspx) using the security tab in properties of that folder?
