After my old drives began having issues a couple of weeks back, I went ahead and replaced all 3 with 1 SSD for the OS/frequently accessed files and 2 HHD for whatever storage.
Finally got everything backed up, old drives removed, new ones installed. Had zero issues installing Win 10 from USB to the SSD but I seem to be completely unable to install programs to either of the HDDs. Whenever I try, I get some variation on the error message "You don't have write access to the destination drive".
The drives do seem to be in working order, as ducking into either one in explorer will show the system-installed hidden directories just fine; I just seem unable to write to them myself.
I don't recall having this issue with my old drives, and I've already tried a fix I found via Google where I disable admin approval messages. UAC is disabled. Anyone else encounter a hitch like this where the primary drive is fine but not the others?
