Hi gurus,

I just rebuilt Windows after a crash. I have 2 data volumes from my previous Windows installation that I kept intact. Now, whenever I attempt to access folders on the data volumes, it comes back with no access because the security information is from the old Windows installation. I can go into Windows Explorer and click on the folder and it corrects the permissions, but I assume there's an easy way to reset ownership & permissions for all folders/files.

Thanks for any pointers !

They way you are doing it is the right way, You can also just change the rights on all the folders to Everyone and select apply to all subfolders.
