Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare issue with my girlfriends old hard disk. She just upgraded to a new HP laptop on win8, from her old Sony VAIO on Vista. We have an external case, which I have used many times to backup files and transfer things from PC to PC. We want to move all her music and old photos in her users file onto the new system
Normally everything goes fine and when told I don't have permission to access the files. A simple click and long wait solves the issue automatically.
This time however, It won't play ball. When using the auto function, it either never finishes, or pops an error. I managed to manually access her named folder by tweaking the permissions , but it didn't do any of the folders within, so I have to manually do every folder and item individually (no thanks!!). I tried several tutorials but when I do apply, I get lot's of access denied popups as it applies things to the sub folders.
There must be a way to just right click the "name" folder and remove all permission restrictions from everything inside for all computers???
I should probably mention the HDD that has been removed from the VAIO has a corrupted OS, so it can't be booted up in a computer, it can only be accessed externally now. The disk itself does test as functioning properly though.
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated, thanks all
