AccessGain Tool
As multiple people requested it, we are releasing a tool which will help you bypass NTFS security permissions, using the method we described in our previous article.
This could be useful when you plug in an old hard-drive with messed up NTFS permissions or in case of an old Windows installation sitting on another partition.

unable to install driver at vista x64…
July 8, 2009 @ 12:29 pm
Hi Sergei,
The driver can not load on Vista x64 due to driver signing requirements. The AccessGain driver is not signed so that is the reason why it won’t load.
You need to press F8 at boot time and then select Advanced Boot Options -> Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. This should allow you to load the driver even though it is not signed.

I needed to copy files from a dead XP Home laptop onto a new unit. This was always problematic, as the security got in the way. Even the tools built-in to Windows (take ownership, etc.) never worked with consistency.
This tool worked great! You’ve just saved me headaches and hassles!!

ma baieti, sunteti tari! foarte tari!!!!! cei mai tari!!!!!! daca ati putea face un mod de a avea filter-ul si pe sisteme in 64-bit functional chiar si dupa restart fara sa tot dam F8 si asa mai departe, ar fi super!

Da, si noi folosim sisteme 64-bit si speram cat de curand sa putem sa oferim o noua versiune de driver semnat care sa mearga si pe 64-bit.
Multumesc pentru aprecieri!

What are the three lines of code?

This is pure genius, whilst I recognize the possible nefarious purposes of this tools. It is extremely useful for data recovery and virus removal purposes.
Its a shame the tool is practically unheard of, I only stumbled upon it by pure luck.
Thankyou very much.

Hey Bogdan and your team,
I am posting concerning certain issues with Acgain. I’ve been struggling for weeks now in order to simply get rid of ATI old drivers which are all over the place in Windows’ folder.
At first the access gain worked( I disabled the driver signature enforcement and installed the filter, as was written in the readme text file. Then I ran it in command prompt, but had to restart my computer.
After the first try, even though I boot up disabling the driver signature, it says access denied.
What’s up ? I am positive I did not do anything wrong or differently.
Thanks

Hi Raimo,
Did you try running chkdsk on that drive? It might be a corrupt file system that is preventing you from deleting those files.
Please try to check your disk for file system errors and let me know whether this solves the problem or not.
Thanks,
Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,
Thank you for the reply.
The problem is solved! As I was trying to locate my older ATI drivers on a brand new machine, I had initially turned User Account Control off (turned the slider down to minimum) and then I had turned it back on and forgotten about it. I then remembered to turn back off and Voila! it worked again.
Therefore, It might be that some Windows 7 users have to turn it(UAC) off first to be able to execute AccessGain efficiently.
Given the nature of ATI installers I was not able to fix the problem. After 5 hours of brainwork and hard work I was disappointed and had to go the easy way – system restore. I never knew how to fix the actual problem. But either way, I have the right drivers up and running and it’s all good.
But as for AccGain, I’m definitely keeping it for future reference and problems
Thanks again,
Raimo

Hello,
Tnx for your shared info. It works for me and helped to save some data from my own pc reinstalled but with no more admin rights. Thanks again

And the thing is that you have to reboot Windows 7 after you lower the User Account Control to the lowest level, otherwise you will still get an error…

It works great!!
Simply genius.
Just one question though.
How to uninstall it?

Worked wonders allowing me to delete gigabytes of stuff I couldn’t before. For reference: win7 64.
Thanks!
