Hello

so I've been running RS3 windows this whole time, wanted to try RS5 to see how it was. I can't see my internal (L) 6tb storage drive. But, I can still see my external USB which is a clone of that drive.

Anyway I right clicked the data drive - security - advanced - permissions - entered object name to select - etc.

Hit apply but that's a lot of data to apply to. Also a lot of the files on the drive can't be accessed. So instead I shared the folder with myself. Now I can see the drive, but every folder I click on needs permission and takes forever.


Is there anyway to make this drive show up normally? Like a CMD thing, no idea why it's doing this now all of a suden.

specs; 3930
mobo: GA UD5 x79
HDD: 6 tb Toshiba
OS HD: Samsung pro ssd 850

Thanks!
 
Why are you changing permissions on your drive? Login to your account if you are an admin or to an admin account if not, and just run the update to 1809, the October 2019 update (RS5) or download a full install media set and install it from there.

Click to expand...

remove all security permissions and set it to everyone permission (you might have to do it in safe mode as that ignores NTFS security on folders more or less) if its on an external hdd make sure write caching is enabled or it take a long time
 
This kind of permissions issues on drives attached after a fresh installation makes me scream almost every f* time. This annoys me so much I often just grant full permissions to everyone at root level of every drive, turn off UAC however I can, use Administrator since 2003 etc.
At root level of the drive I just change owner to Administrator and apply to all sub objects. Sometimes I hate this world where we need permissions at all :p .
