i had my ssd take permissions for my old hard drive and my old ssd died. i have problems opening any and almost every file and folder in my old, (now C: ) hard drive. i've tried adding the admin option on cmd. which didn't help. apps like google, steam, firefox and even the search option within windows require me to right-click and run as admin. games won't work because i can't get permissions to run the games and their folders. i was wondering if there was a way to get permissions from/for an entire hard drive, or rather restore those permissions. i've tried to use a system restore point but i'm getting the error that either an app or an antivirus is keeping me from restoring. i've installed windows on a second ssd. and i could change properties from this hdd if i use my ssd. essentially, i would like to know if i could restore the permissions on my entire hdd which is now my C: drive. i'm the owner of my hard drives. i don't need help with passwords or taking a harddrive that is not my own. i'm just trying to revert my permissions for my entire hdd, which i can access. i hope this can be resolved. thank you.
