Hey there! It sounds like you're having some issues with your portable hard drive files. You tried backing up important data before installing a fresh Windows copy, but now certain folders are still inaccessible. You even adjusted security settings to let everyone access the folders, yet the locks stay on each file. I’m here to help—let’s figure this out together!
Is it possible that when you backed up your files that you did not use the eject icon before unplugging your portable hard drive ? If Windows was not finished writing, some data may be missing. As for permissions, there usually is an option so that all sub-folders and their contents inherit the same permissions you are setting. As for recovering damaged files, you can try using some recovery software. It is not guaranteed to work, but it won't hurt to try. Most software have a trial or limited version for free. Good luck.
I probably didn’t eject correctly… sorry. I’ll try the recovery software now, thanks! Any suggestions for good options?
