How to find out share permission from a hard drive?

One of the pc totally dead, cannot even boot. but the hard disk still good. i can see all the data through USB adapter. I would like to know if it's possible I can find out the share permission on each folder from the hard disk?

You cannot find that information by looking at the HDD alone.
You need to access the ACL from the previous OS, and I've never come across an option to view that kind of information except on the machine where the shares were originally created.

Feel free to test that theory by moving a healthy drive to another workstation/server and then put it back.

Hi johnb6767, I am not sure if I understand. you meant to go to Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM
But System is a file, cannot open it. how can mount it? and is there a way to just see all the network share instead of importing it?
