Re: Can't move files.

Which drive letter is causing you problems?

You can edit the "adminreset.cmd" by substituting %SystemDrive% with the
drive letter. So if your drive is "D" then it would look something like
this:

subinacl /subdirectories d:\ /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories d:\ /grant=system=f

Kind of worked, kind of didn't. It only applies the settings to the main
F:,
those files, direct subfolders, and their directories. Problem is, my
hard
drive has an extencive ammount of folders, so its not applying the
settings
to ALL files. Also, the files have permissions, but nothing is actualy
checked for them. So the user is set, just not the "allow" statements
themselves.

Yes, follow these instruction:

2. Open Notepad and copy the following lines into notepad:

subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

3. Save the Notepad file as "adminreset.cmd" and save to "C:\Program
Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools" folder.

4. Double-click the "adminreset.cmd" file that was saved in "C:\Program
Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools" folder.

Note: It /may/ take some time to complete the process after clicking the
"adminreset.cmd" file

It worked, but only a little bit. I changed the entire drive to allow
all
permissions to my user, and the Administrators group, which for some
reason
it wasn't already. I checked, and it says it would apply the settings
to
all
folders, subfolders, and files. Yet, it is still giving me permission
denied
errors on everything it was before. And every file within the drive
still
has the old permission sets. If you could find a way for everything to
just
be set to allow Administrators full permission to everything, that'll
be
fine. Hopefuly you can help.

Here's the issue:
My computer has two hard drives, they are set as the C: and F:.
Assume
that
I wanted to move something from one folder in the C: (C:\folder1) to
another
folder anywhere in the computer (F:\folder2), it would work fine.
Though,
if
the original folder was on the F:, and it was moved to a seperate
folder
on
the F: (F:\folder1) to (F:\folder2), it wouldn't exactly fail, but
everything
is messed up. All files, unless they are in a subfolder, would be
read
as
0
bytes, and give me a permission denied error when trying to open
them.
If
it
is a folder, it would give a permission denied error when trying to
open
it,
thus making all the subfolders and sub-files impossible to get to.
And
as
a
side note, everything is fine when moving between the C: and C:, but
only
messes up on F: to F:. Also, if I copy the files and not move them,
it
also
works fine.

Hope somebody can help, and thanks in advance.
