    I found quite a lot of same posts on the internet about it. They you to give your self full permission in the packages folder. I already have that however. The help ends here from the internet and I don't know what to do now.

    0x80070005 when trying to change the default save location from c:\ to e:\

    Within the settings

    (Settings - System - Storage - Change where new content is saved)

    it will not allow me to change the default location from one harddisk (c) to another (e).

    I receive error code 0x80070005

    Trying to change permissions to 'everyone' on the drives does not fix the problem.
