Subject: [logs] Looking at windows logs



I hope somebody can help me.   I have a windows EVT file from a system that=
 I want to view on another computer (which is a windows XP laptop).   I boo=
ted the laptop with Linux (backtrack) and tried to remove the old security.=
evt file and replace it with mine.  Even with the windows drive mounted wit=
h "rw" I could manipulate any of the files or permissions.  I kept receivin=
g a message "read-only" media.

I thought maybe I could use the eventquery.vbs file from the command line u=
sing the /L switch  to dump the logs, this did not work. It appears only th=
e windows categories are readable.  I have a licensed copy of Adiscon event=
viewer and a copy of lasso.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to extract this data?

Thanks in advance.
Jim
