I have some backups which I need to retrieve files from. They are huuuge (8 TB drives).
Because I am not allowed to modify ANY BIT on the disk, I have a adapter that makes the HDD 'read-only'. Nothing can be changed/written. This means that when I connect the disk and try to access Backup Disk Letter:\Users\SomeUser
Windows tells me to continue with an administrative prompt (to change ACLs?). This means windows will change the contents on the disk. Which is not allowed. I can't take ownership and clicking continue fails with an error that permissions could not be applied (duh, the disk is read-only!).
I don't have enough space to copy the disk to any other location.
How can I read the files in Backup Drive Letter:\Users\SomeUser
(in Windows 10) if I don't have any permissions and can't change/take ownership [or changeeven one bit on the whole drive whatsoever]?
There must be some build-in Windows tools?
