    permissions wtf?


    Hello! I hope I'm not posting at the wrong thread! I have one hard drive, but I've divided them into two virtuals. I had xp and I installed win7 into one of my hard drives. How do I get permission over files to the other hard drive? I managed to get permission over folders, but not over files like doc. and so on. Any suggestions?

    First post guys, so go easy on me :P

    Thanx in advance!

    Right Click on the drive - security - advanced - take ownership

    Then use the advanced dialogue to add full control to the drive to your actual user name - make sure the option to cascade permissions to lower level is selected.

       Note
    on systems that have been in use for some time under a number of operating systems some sub branches may not cascade correctly, and will have to be edited individually

    If you right click on the actual file you should be able to adjust the permissions for that - you may have to take ownership and remove the existing permissions before adding the correct ones

    If you do this make sure that the administrators group is included as this will prevent any potential future issues.
