Unable to access files copied from Vista on windows 7
I backed up all my files on an external hard drive before I upgraded to windows 7 from Vista, and im trying to copy the files from my external hard drive back on to my laptop and it just doesn't work.
I'm getting the following error message... "you need permission to perform this action,you require permission from administratos to make changes to this file"
Now I have tried...
running net user administrator /active:yes
turning off the UAC,
Changing the folder permissions to allow mysef access etc... as per this website... Fix “You need permission to perform this action” error
Some of the folders im trying to copy are written in green, I think i may of tried to make these folders private or something a few years back, as the other folders seem to copy fine...
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I desperately need access to these files...
Thanks
