Windows 8.1 running on C drive with all my back up/pervious folder/files on D drive from Windows 7. No issues initially.
Windows 8.1 developed operations issues and bugs a few months ago such as intermittently not allowing access to folders so I wiped C drive and reloaded again.
Currently I have tried to access some picture files, being the ones that were most likely modified /saved to D drive by the original Windows 8.1 and I cannot. Oddly enough it seems I have full access to documents and music folders/files on same D drive and the earliest picture pre first Windows 8.1 and latest pictures save buy current Windows 8.1.
When I click on the files in question, a window opens:
You dont currently have permission to access this folder
I then click on Continue. The next window opens:
You have been denied permission to access this folder
I then click on security tab The next window opens: with tabs for General, Sharing, Security, Customise. I have clicked:
General to see; size: 0 bytes, Attributes: Read-only (selected), clicked Advanced to see allow files in the folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties (selected). No encrypt or other attributes has been selected.
Security to see You must have Read permissions to view the properties of this object., clicked Advance to see Owner: Unable to display current owner. I click on the corresponding Change prompt and go through procedure to take owner ship of file. When I attempt to apply, Windows Security windows opens and states, If you have just taken ownership of this object, you will need to close and reopen this objects properties before you can view or change permissions. I click OK and close all windows only to find out nothing is changed.
I have also tried to take ownership of the drive, but the folders in question are denied in the process.
Ground Hog Day, over and over.
Any suggestions from the wise?
