Windows 10: Access to new SSD denied

Hi Group
I have a new 500 GB SSD to replace my current 250 Gb SSD. I cant open up the new drive or do anything with it because "You dont currently have permission to access this folder." I have formatted it and set all permissions. I appreciate your help. *Sad

:)

 

migration to new ssd = bootrec /fixboot ->access denied

First off, thanks for the link cause this worked for me!

Backstory (What got me to need this):

- Fresh install of Windows as MBR

- Found out that I accidentally did that and wanted to switch to GPT (for UEFI)

- Converted to GPT and then cloned just the OS partition to new Hard Drive

- New Hard Drive wouldn't boot, kept getting "Automatic Repair" boot loop

- Booted into Advanced Startup Options > Repair Computer > Command Prompt

- Attempted to use aformentioned bootrec / fixboot but was getting access denied

- Followed these steps and was able to boot

As told
bootrec /FixBoot gives me Access Denied so no the fix doesn't work.

 

SSD didn't come formatted? ODD I think, I'm suspecting DOA drive electronics.

 

The drive wasn't new,. I had used it before.

 

Check the drive security permissions for the folder to make sure that your user id has access to them. Especially if brought over from another computer or different OS.

 

If it was DOA, it would not show up. It is a security Permission issue.

 

Right then *Smile

*Wink The devil is in the detail.

Would putting the drive in a caddy and connecting it as a USB drive allow the volume to be deleted in disk management ? It could then be used as a new 'unallocated' drive or a new volume created by formatting as a new simple volume.
