Hi there
I have recently found that my external hard drive has had an issue with Permissions. my user account is set as administrator, so i should have full access to modify/change/delete files as i wish. Unfortunately im getting problems like "you do not have access" or "you do not have permission to perform this action" when i go to say; delete a folder.
Now it doesnt appear to be all folders on the drive with this issue, although a lot of the folders that do have this problem were copied over from another computer recently.
I have found owners on the permissions list with names like:
S-1-5-21-995445890-2241885707-1888917028-1000
Which gives no description or point of origin to where its come from.
I can change ownership of the entire drive, but i have access denied warnings for a lot of files/folders, so that doesnt really help in the end.
Could someone please help shed some light on whats going on, how it may of happened and definitely the most important how i can fix it
greatly appreciated
