    Windows 7 Hard Drive Permissions


    Hey guys , I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not but I'll having hard drive permission problems. Its basically my D drive that worked perfectly before but as of now , I cant write any data to it. From what I've seem , it should be resolved by going to Properties , clicking on the Security Tab , clicking on the User and going to Edit. You see , the problem is when I try to edit permissions, everything is grayed out. I can't do anything but click OK , Cancel or X out. Yes , I am also the main and only account in this system and again , had no issues up until recently.

    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    When you go to edit, you should be able to highlight a froup at the top box such as administrators then be able to edit their permissions in the lower box.

    See if this helps, Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and Groups

    I would try the above first, since it is your D drive you can try this Take Ownership Shortcut You may still have to edit permissions afterward.

Hey all. Didn't know quite where to put this. My external HD is acting a bit weird. I can acess everything from my PC, but I want to share things over the network with SMB, and it's proving hard. Say, I right click and share the folder to the homegroup, the folder is shared and the files in...
