    Hey there, recently built a new machine and bought a 1TB HDD so in the process of transferring some stuff over, no problem off USB HDD obviously but when I took the HDD from my old machine I couldn't access the files. I could change the permissions and access the folders but when I tried to open pictures or music files my access was denied. I changed the permissions on the files to make me the new owner but I still can't open them.

    Anyone any idea's? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate.

    spoiler alert? Should fill in the details, in case some poor sod finds this thread on google in 4 to 5 years.

    Just when you're editing Security on the main folder, i.e My Documents - tick the box which says you're changing the permissions for all subfolders and files. Can't believe I didn't cop it straight away.
