System file permissions
Hi, I'm trying to replace some files that have been flagged up as damaged by System File Checker. It can't repair the files as it reports the files in the store are also damaged. I have two almost identical desktop PCs both running Windows 7 Professional SP1. SFC has found damaged files on both but as they are different files I reasoned it should be possible to replace the damaged files with good copies from the other machine.
I've run across a problem in that when I try to copy a file onto the destination machine it reports I don't have permission. This is in spite of the fact my user accounts have Administrator privileges on both machines. It won't let me change the file permissions.
I'd be most grateful for any suggestions on how to overcome this problem.
