Ok so I boot up my pc one day and it says it couldnt boot up(blue screen?). So after a system restore, all the folders and files on my second hard drive gets the access is denied popup when i try to copy/delete/etc. My boot drive is an ssd (C:) and my second hard drive for most of my files is (E:) I can do anything on the C: drive without any problems. I have also already taken ownership and full control on the E: drive and still gets access denied. Is it possible that something is corrupted here? Like a corrupted user or drive? Would i need to reformat to fix this now? Thanks in advanced

Hi there Aloha808,

So you have taken ownership of the drive(first) and granted permissions(second) right? In case you haven't, you can check this tutorial out: http://www.preyerplanning.com/take-ownership-of-entire-hard-drive-in-windows-7.pdf

In case the issue persists, I guess you can try booting up Ubuntu either from a CD or a flash drive and access the drive: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267999-32-recover-data-mode
After that, you can back up your data and reformat the drive.

Cheers,

I actually changed permissions first then took ownership. I didnt't know there was an order at first. Does is mess things up if its not in the right order? If so, can i reset things and take owner and change permissions again?
