Old drive Files, cant access.

Hello,

If you are familiar with using the command prompt,

Try this:

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click it when it appears under programs, and click Run As
Administrator
- cd to the drive you are having problems with (e.g., cd f
- cd to the folder that you need access to (e.g., cd documents)
- Type: icacls . /grant USERF) /T /C /L /Q
(Where USER is your user name)
- Press enter

This should give you access to the folder and all folder/files beneath it.

NOTE: This will NOT work on operating system protected folders (such as
Windows, Program Files, etc). You need to use this ONLY on folders that
contain files you created yourself (such as My Documents, My Music, or any
folder you created yourself).
