Read-Only?

Access-Denied

After cloning my old harddrive over to a new drive, all the folders are setup as read-only and when I try to change it, it just goes back to read only.

This causes a problem when i try creating files on this computer from a remote computer on my home network.

Anyone know what to do about this?

Thanks for your help in advance

 

What os?

 

I have Windows XP pro on all my home PCs

I just realized something though, it seems that only certain directories are not allowing me access from my remote computer now:
- One directory is a SQL Server data directory
- The other is the home directory for my web server (IIS)

So I guess that this has nothing to do with True Image and I should look for the answer elsewhere. However if anyone still has an idea what to do, that would be great.

 

Just take ownership of all the directories, then change attr, in safe mode, if needbe.

 

Thanks that sounds like a good solution.

Problem is I can't figure out how to do it
Help instructions say to right click on the folder in windows explorer and go to properties then the security tab, then advanced, then ownership

However there is no security tab ( don't know why, possibly cuz I'm not on a domain). The sharing tab doesn't have any thing about ownership



ahh I found something, that I need to go into safe mode (as you mentioned )
Thank you very much

 

Make sure you are logged in the administrator account

 

Alright, I finally got it! Went into safe mode and the security tab was there...
Thanks a ton noonie for taking the time to help, much appreciated
