Breatheren!

I have system crash, have tried System Recovery option already.

THe sysem frreses during Save graphics boot after "Battery checked".

I am able to boot from live CD and I can see Doumnts on the HDD by user ATT, whch was me.

I can not copy or open them, as I get permission warning.

Can I change live@live login to full admin somehow?

Or any other method?

Thank you!

(Love Zorin!)

When in live mode, open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and write

gksudo nautilus

Nautilus will open with administrative rights and you can copy/paste anything you like.

Thanks, USB hi capacity drives!
