I just installed an SSD on my computer. I have the old HDD plugged in, which still has the old installation files on it and my old photos etc. When I attempt to access the photos I get this message:
"Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because you don't have the correct permissions to access the file location".
I looked this up and apparently I'm supposed to change the owner of the folder, and subfolders, and change the permissions. The problem is that when I try and change the permissions I get this message:
"An error occurred while applying security information to: E:\randomfilename Access is denied."
I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. I think it is saying that because it the folder is set to Read Only, but when I try and change it from Read Only to normal setting, the change doesn't take. It says that it has changed the folder setting but once I close and reopen the properties window, it has already gone back to Read Only.
