    Unable to map network drive due to lost ownership


    I have a NAS drive hard wired to my computer. It has 3 logical drives one of which cannot be accessed. It is listed in the Network folder as shared. When I try to map the drive the response is that I don't have the correct permissions.

    When I check the Ownership panel (attached) it says that it can't display the current owner.

    I've tried accessing using either of other the existing users (there are no others) - won't work.

    I've tried the command net use /d \\myserver\mysharename and this didn't work either.

    I've also tried system restore that didn't help either.

    I know I need to restore valid ownership details can anyone advise please.

    Turns out the problem was with the permissions on the NAS server. Some how they had been set to restrict access - once changed I was able to map and access the drive as before.
