File Permissions Messed Up After HDD Change On PC
Hey Guys
I have an issue with my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus (4.2.30), where I cannot copy anything to any of the directories on it, or delete, move any files.
The only thing I can do is copy files from the ReadyNas to my PC, but nothing else.
This seemed to have occured after I upgraded the HDD on my PC to an SSD and clean installed Windows 7.
How the hell do I get back my permissions?
I've searched and everything I read makes my brain melt.
So much so I gave up three months ago and have only just got round to checking on this issue again.
Has anyone had this issue who knows how to recify this nifghtmare?
I need to take back ownership of these files.
Well, I'll reply to my own question as I think I may have sorted it.
What I did was to download and reinstall v4.2.30 and once the ReadyNAS rebooted, I got a logon window when I tried to access a folder.
I entered the username and password for the RaedyNAS and hey presto, I think I've got access again.
Hopefully that will help anyone else who comes across this thread with the same issue.
