Still having issues with this drive, i can't add t0rrents to it, so I still haven't corrected the security settings, anyone any idea how to finally resolve this issue?

Ok, sorry, have been away on business. Great, this allowed me access to my files. But, i am still unable to download files to this directory....so i still don't have the original settings...any ideas?

I am the owner and only user of the pc and all the files. I have just added my partner, and tried to secure a drive. I can open the drive and see all the files, but can't open files or play music/videos? I have run takeown, and it said success, but still can't use files!?

Sorry, this is all a bit beyond me. I have 100s of folders and more files. I just need to revert a drive and all it sub-folders back to the original permissions....surely it can't be this difficult?

Sorry for delay, have been unwell. Anyway, thought this was resolved, but I now have have access to open the folder and view the files, but can't do anything with them, any ideas?

carnageX - no idea what you mean, i didn't add anything?! Joe C - perfect, issue resolved, many thanks.

Thanks, will have a look. I have to admit i find it very confusing,. and when you talk about admin and administrator my head spins, this is not easy to follow, I have been used to a single user PC for so long. NOTE that my sig says a win10 pc! I am not logged in as THE administrator, but when I...

Right, i have been the only user on my PC for a long time. I am adding my partner. I wanted to deny access to one drive. I denied access to all users the said drive, except admin (assumed this covered me). I am an admin. Now I can't access! Tried a system restore, and of course it only goes back...

So took it to the local repair shop, who over 2 weeks seemed to struggle to fully diagnose. Ended up with first new processor, then a new mobo, and also a failed RAM stick & WiFi card not functioning. So, now have a working PC with new AMD mobo, less one stick of ram, thus running a little...

I am getting BSODs, so I'm guessing my 2 year old SSD with my OS is about to give up (as did the last one between 1-2 yrs). So looks like I'll have to do a windows re-install or rebuild very shortly. I have win7 disc and licence, but auto upgraded free to win10 a while back…. So do I make...

I just had an HDD failure, I have re-installed Win7, upgraded to Win10, and installed fresh Office 2016, and have been trying in vain to import existing pst files from previous Office 2010. Any ideas? Do i need to un-install 2016, re-install 2007, and install 2016 as an upgrade? Or, do some...

Thanks Rockman - will try CGS. mud beaver - you clearly haven't read answers in this thread, nor understand re data recovery, and I'm the newbie at this! carnageX - no data was written onto it post format, and will try to recover data to other HDDs. Will keep you posted, though this its holiday...

Thanks, but most of the files are there, in Revuca i see ~65050! Its just that there are unorganised, and are at 10Tb! That is why i am looking for better software that may improve the recovery, in original folders, and down nearer the correct data amount.

I will explain my situation as best i can....during improving my system with an SSD,, and cleaning up my HDDs, I stupidly & accidentally re-formatted my 4TB drive. This was nearly full! ~3.8Tb of all my personal, files over 20 years, including music and movies etc. I have tried several...

And how do I do that? (Note the older 3TB is NTFS!)
