1317779 2012-12-11 21:29:00 Hey Guys I've come across a bit of a problem

I bought my SSD last week (Thanks for your suggestions) and I installed it over the weekend.

Now I had 3 drives in my computer, a 3TB, 2TB and a 1TB. Since I did a fresh install of my operating system on the SSD, I then put my drives back in, and now I every time I want to do something on any of those drives, it keeps telling me "Access Denied" and that I need administrative rights, and all the files are read only.

I've taken ownerships of the folders, and removed the ghost accounts from my last OS install, but every folder still has a read only attribute and I can't seem to reset it.

Does anyone know what I need to do to take control again? It's getting annoying having to have Admin Rights (which I do have) to do everything on the drives as they are used for my client files etc.

1317781 2012-12-11 21:43:00 Well that was fun. I've fixed it. :). Run this in cmd

"attrib -r -s drive:folername /S /D

Thanks for all your help guys! ;)

I find when you have to learn something like this yourself it sticks better anyway...
