Oops. My bad. Here:Hi Pyprohly,Hello Dragonchaser,
Before you can make unrestricted edits to the Access Control List (ACL) of an object, you should take owership of that object first.
You can do so by running the following command in an elevated command prompt,
Or if you want to take ownership of all child items within a folder or drive,Code:takeown /f "E:\"
After doing this, you are free to make permission changes to that drive without being denied access.Code:takeown /f "E:\" /r
I tried that but it did not work for me:
I am 100% sure it was an elevated command prompt.Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

C:\Windows\system32>takeown /f "E:\" /r
ERROR: File or Directory not found.
C:\Windows\system32>e:
E:\>takeown /f "E:\" /r
ERROR: File or Directory not found.
I was logged in as myself; i.e. a user with administrator privileges.
Perhaps I should login as admin?
Code:takeown /f "E:" /r
