So I did a complete new build with a clean install of windows. Before I did I copied my old user folder to a different, non essential drive. I thought everything would be OK but I wrong...very wrong. Now I can not access any of the files or documents that were in the old user folder.
The main thing I want to be able to do is move/copy the game information from old to new. And of course there are some documents that I would like back as well.
I've tried every possible ownership, permission and auditing solution I've come across but to no avail. I can change the name of the files in the old folder and even delete them. But when I need to move/copy or open any of the files I get the "File access denied" error...you require permission from Eric-PC\Eric (my old and current user and PC name.
After much research I believe the issue is SID related. Is there anyway around or through this. Please advise, any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
