permissions issue on mounted volume...

Hello,

I've come across an odd permissions issue with a mounted volume and am
hoping someone can shed some light as to what is going on. I have a
partition created on my computer that I have full control over and I am not
experiencing any permissions issues on it. This partition is accessed using
a drive letter (O:). I have another partition, on another hard drive, and
have mounted it to a folder on the O: drive (both formatted with NTFS and
both have the default permissions applied, ie I have not customized them in
anyway). For some reason I am unable to delete folders on this mounted
volume but files do not seem to be affected. I can move and rename these
folders without any problem (even to a different partition) but when trying
to delete I get an access denied error. I was first thinking that maybe the
folders are in use (locked) but even after a reboot they are undeleteable;
the Administrator account has the same problem. The permissions themselves
look ok but I did notice an oddity: there is an entry for my account and
"CREATOR OWNER" and they both have "special" permissions. Looking under the
advanced permissions they do both have full control though. If I go into
Disk Management and assign a drive letter to this partition I am able to
delete the folder with no problems at all.

What changes to permissions on a mounted volume?


TIA,

Greg
