Can anyone help me out?
I have a fully functional Windows 7 system consisting of 2 hard drives and multiple partitions. Not wanting to disturb my setup, I put in another hard drive where I could install Windows 8. However, since there were partitions on the other hard drives with files I wanted to still use under Windows 8, I kept those hard drives still in the system.
However, in the BIOS, I set the new hard drive as the first hard drive and the other drives as the second and third drives. So I go ahead and install Windows 8 to the new hard drive. Windows 7 and the files are still residing on the other hard drives.
Everything is all hunky dory. Playing with Windows 8 was fun and it was really nice to see some of the improvements. But I shut down and unplug the hard drive that has Windows 8. I change the BIOS settings so that the drive that has Windows 7 on it is the first drive. Then I boot the system and it blue screens. I reboot the system again, it goes through chkdsk and then proceeds to load windows 7 fine. I noticed that my wallpapers were not being applied. So I go to access the folder with my pics. And I'm locked out. It says I don't have the permissions to view the content. I click on Continue to give me the permissions but it fails. No matter what I do, I can't get access to my folder and subfolders of pics.
So I shut down and plug back in the drive with Windows 8 and reboot. I can see all the pictures of the folder. Everything seems fine. I go to permissions and the users that were in Windows 8 were fine. But there are listed users with question marks (which I assume are users from my Windows 7 installation). I try to change all the permissions of the pictures to being fully open with read and write permissions. I then get an error message about corruption and unreadable.
I just want all the pics to be fully available in both operating systems! I'm a total beginner at this permissions thing.
