Security-locks on all files!
On my 2nd HDD all files symbols have security locks.
This happened after resetting the NTFS-warranties.
Now I can access all files, but the lock symbols bother me.

Take ownership of the entire drive ( may take a while ) and the lock symbols should disappear..
I already took ownership of it but it didn't help.
Screenshot is attached.
reseting the NTFS warranties? could you elaborate a bit? Im being dense today
'thanks ken
After taking ownership I set permissions for the whole drive and check to inherit that behaviour to all other folders.
That however was wrong.
I checked off the inherited permission, deleted it and added a new one (everyone, full access) to every folder in the root and now the security-locks are gone.
Thanks for your help though.
An easy way that usually works to fix this problem is to use the tutorial below to take ownership. It allows you to easily add/remove "take ownership" items to the explorer right click context menu:
