I put an HD from my old XP machine in my PC to copy all the old data off of it, and I'm being prevented from copying the contents of one folder(A catch-all that has a large amount of stuff on it). Other folders from the same old user account copy fine, and other folders on other user accounts copy just fine as well. I've tried setting the permissions to allow me to copy, but it keeps saying access denied despite what I've got the settings on.
I've gone into the Security>Advanced>Edit menu, and given every single user group full control, and that hasn't fixed the problem. UAC is turned off(I even tried turning that back on... didn't work.). I've tried messing around with the object permissions, that didn't do anything. I even tried logging into my sister's user account and copying the files using it, but that didn't work either.
I'm really at my wit's end here... I've spent damn near two hours working on this, and that's hurt me a shitload(I have fibromyalgia. Doing anything for two hours straight hurts. >.<), and done nothing but frustrate me. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
