Permission Problems

[Liame]

So here's the story. I have two partitions that I use, the main one with my OS on it and the other with files on it. So yesterday I decided I wanted to reinstall Windows just to give it a good clear out. Before I did I copied a couple folders and files from my desktop to my other partition. I then reinstalled windows. I just went to where the files I copied over are and I cant access them. Its saying I don't have permission to open them. Its various files from pictures to music.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Give yourself permission

If you cannot give permission, give ownership first

Ok Tried first giving the permissions then also gave myself ownership. However it hasn't changed anything. I can still see all the files but just can't access them.

Thanks for the advice tho.

Are you sure you have ownership? Check that again

Boot the puter after you gave permissions and ownership?

Try to access in safe mode and try to transfer to finger drive in safe mode

Can you rename?
Can you make a folder and put the information in that.

See if you have access to the new folder. If not use unlocker, I gave that to you up above. Unlocker will do the trick
