Windows 10: HDD Permissions

So i just finished a new build, my first and I am running an SSD and an HDD, I have windows on the SSD and I downloaded all the neccesary drivers. I allocated my HDD in disk management and all was good then when I tried to do anything on my HDD (create a floder, delete anything) it said I did not have permission and would keep telling me to try again. Many of the other people having this problem have been able to solve it by going into the properties of the drive and changing the permissions through the security tab but for me, it doesn't even let me do that, everyrthing is greyed out and I cant change any settings within the advanced security tab or through the edit option. So i don't even have permission to do that it seems. When I go back to disk management and format the HDD it allows me to modify it but then randomly it will lock me out again. Any advice on how to get around this? I've tried seemingly everything. Thank you for the help and sorry for the long winded question.

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

No permissions

Hi,

I would suggest you to right click on the user's folder for your profile and check if the permissions shows as "read only'. If this is the case, it might be causing the issue. In this case, I would suggest you to go to C:\User folder, right click on the
folder with your username and follow these steps:

• Open the properties of the main user profile folder where the files are located (such as Documents, Pictures, etc).
  
• Go to the Security tab and click Advanced.
• Check the box at the bottom of this window. It is labeled "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" and then click Ok.
  

This does a one-time action that replaces the security on all the files/subfolders. It’s one-time, so you won’t find that box checked if you peek at it later. Try these steps and let us know the results for further assistance.
