Not having any luck.

I might have figured it out. Found this:

"You can gain access to this folder by following these steps to take ownership and then grant yourself full access to the folder.

Right-click the folder > Properties
Security tab > Advanced
Click Change to the right of Owner
Enter Users into box and click OK
Enable the checkbox Replace owner on subcontainers and objects then click Apply
If prompted that You do not have permissions to read... click Yes
Completely close out of the Advanced Security Settings dialog
Right-click the folder > Properties
Security tab > Edit...
Add...
Enter Users into box and click OK
Enable the Full Control checkbox then click OK"

Appears to be working:

First time didn't work. Attempting again today. Just don't want to pay to recover the files, I'm cheap.

The ownership process is complete, I got a message to close Properties & reopen for it to take effect. Did so, still getting error message & can't access. ARGH! Mad

Hi,

Haven´t read the whole thread but I usually proceed in a simple manner using (free) Total Commander. It´s a file manager that shows you two windows (origin and destination) that are very easy to handle.

Maybe you can do a remote session with me or someone else available and sort things out. Shouldn´t take more than an hour. I´d say much less, depending on how much stuff you need to move around and the speed of your drives.

My email is in my profile. Done this plenty of times with other distinguished members Wink
