I have been using this Kingston HyperX 3K 120G SSD for a little bit now and did a fresh Windows 7 install on it but I recently formatted my WD Green 2TB HDD and after a few boot ups I lost control over my management on the SSD! I no longer have access to do things such as move folders to other folders or rubbish bin, I can't Right-Click and manage computer from the start menu and like I said I have no control anymore, friends are saying that I have lost my permissions but none of them know how to get me my permissions back and I haven't found a solution online yet and it's been a few day now.. I really need to get this fixed! Would anything like ejecting my SSD or plug out the SATA cable and plug it back in fix it, because I don't have permissions to even format it due to not being able to access Disk management! Please if any of you have a solution, take the time out of your day to help me. Also it does not display my storage capacity, it just says C:\ NTFS Drive

Ok, I have some other ideas. Can you select the drive in windows explorer? If so select properties, and then the Security tab. Under "Group or user names", click your name to see the permissions you have.

How do I share the root of a drive?

For security reasons, we recommend that you share only selected folders, rather than the entire drive.

To share the root of a drive, follow these steps:

Click to open Computer.

Right-click the drive, click Share with, and then click Advanced sharing.

In the dialog box that appears, click Advanced Sharing. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In the Advanced Sharing dialog box, select...

I am Administrator and the 'Standard' User option can not be chosen :( Like I said I am administrator but have no permissions to do anything and my SSD just says NTFS where it is supposed to say the storage capacity... Thanks for trying to help though, it really is appreciated.

In the Advanced Sharing dialog box, select the Share this folder check box, and then type a share name.

To specify individual users or groups of users, click Permissions.

Click Add or Remove to add or remove users or groups.

Select each user or group, select the check boxes for the permissions you want to assign for that user or group, click OK, and then click OK again.

Note
You can't share the root of a drive with a dollar sign following the drive letter as in versions of Windows earlier than Windows Vista. For example, you can't share the root of your C drive as "C$," but you can share it as "C" or any other name.
