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.

Model: ReadyNAS RNDP400U|ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus Chassis only

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.
