Unable to access shared folders on 2009 Windows Home Server

I've just plugged in an old home server that hasn't been used in years, and am able to access the files while remoting into the server, but I cannot access them from my desktop computer itself over the network. When I attempt to open the shared folders on my desktop computer (which is running the latest build of Windows 10) I get the following error:





The server I am trying to access files from is pretty ancient, I just booted it up and its still running the same OS it had back in 2009:





Obviously I want to upgrade this to a newer version (I have a key for Windows server 2016 essentials) but installing that is not going to be easy and can be dealt with in another thread. For now is there any way for me to access the files currently on the server from my desktop computer over the network?

 

Unable to Change Permissions to a Shared Folder

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description of the issue, I understand that you are unable to take full ownership of the files and folders.

I would recommend you to see if you are logged in administrator account, if not then enable it. Please follow the below steps.

I would suggest you to enable the built in administrator account.

You need to run the command from an elevated command prompt. To do that you need to do the following:

• Press the Windows key + R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box
• Enter cmd and right-click on the Command Prompt result that should appear.
  
• This opens a list of options at the bottom. Select Run as administrator there.
  
• Accept the UAC prompt
• Enter the following command to enable the hidden administrator account:
  net user administrator /active:yes

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, please do let us know and we would be happy to help you further.

Thank You.

 

Unable to open a Folder

Thanks I have run the Zip file and have attached the output, the Hard drive looks OK to me. The folder still cant be opened or deleted. I can move the file within the C Directory but cant move it to a USB stick.
