Owner permission for separate internal hard drive

[bruce.skubon]

Hello.

I have two hard drives installed on my dell desktop. The "C" has the
operating system and software while the "D" is just for storage. The
other day I needed to format my c drive so I backed up my files onto
the d drive. After getting everything working again on the C I went
to access a folder on the d drive but it said I do not have
permission. I tried copying the data over to the C drive but that
didn't work. Next I downloaded the Data lifeguard software that came
with my d hard drive and was able to move the data from the d to the
c. But I still could not access the data once in the c drive. I cant
even delete the folder. I am only having this problem with the data I
moved the other day, every other folder in the D drive works fine. Is
there a way to get around the permission? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

You don't need to "get around" this issue - it is sufficient to resolve
it by seizing ownership of the problem folders. Click Start / Help
and look for help on "ownership" if unsure how it's done.

If you hadn't encrypted the data files (which could not have been
done with WinXP Home), you may be facing nothing more than a simple
permissions issue. Have you tried taking ownership of the old folders?
