You don't need to play with permissions. &nbsp;A 404 means that the content you are requesting does not exist.<br />
<br />
Do the directories and sub-directories exist under the restored data path? &nbsp;If you type in the URL with page you want, do you still get a 404? &nbsp;For example: &nbsp;<a href="http://your.servername.com/subdir/default.html" rel="ugc">http://your.servername.com/subdir/default.html</a><br />

Can you post the http logs from the site?<br />

You don't need to play with permissions.  A 404 means that the content you are requesting does not exist.

Do the directories and sub-directories exist under the restored data path?  If you type in the URL with page you want, do you still get a 404?  For example:  http://your.servername.com/subdir/default.html [http://your.servername.com/subdir/default.html]

Can you post the http logs from the site?

Had a Windows Server 2008 crash, had to reinstall OS. <br />
We're trying to get a basic website that was on the server back up &amp;&nbsp;running. Reinstalled IIS7, created website w\same name as previous. Pointed to previous data directory. Web browsers can get to default.html at the root of the directory, but once we go into subdirectories, are getting &quot;404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.&quot;<br />
The directories and files exist; wondering if it's a permissions issue?<br />
We've tried granting<i> ServerName$</i> permissions on the subfolders, but still getting 404 error.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems
