A little help from my friends!

[Guest Carlos]

This is a sharing issue but I hope my buddies will be able to help me.

I have 3 hard disks in my PC.

One is standalone SATA (I:) and there's where I keep my documents, favorites

and e-mail.

The two others are raid-0 SATA, having Vista in Primary Partition C: and 4

other partitions for different tasks. (D:, E:, F: G:)

So far I have been sharing in my home network only one folder in the

standalone disk (I:).

I can access to that folder from the other PCs by having added the user

"Guest" ("Invitado" in Spanish) in the sharing options.

When working locally on that folder I have full R/W rights and when

accessing remotely I can only read.

So far so good.

Now here's the issue.

Whenever I share a folder in any of the other 4 partitions (D:, E:, F:, G:)

I immediately lose writing rights on that folder.

I, locally, can only read but not write or delete or rename.

Even un-sharing is denied.

And the only possible recovery of rights is by going to Disk Management,

delete the partition, recreate it again and not sharing it!

Any ideas?

Carlos

RE: A little help from my friends!

 

Well, I could finally sort it out, thanks to Google and MVP Jimmy Brush

I want to share what I did so that anybody having this issue will solve it

quickly (quoting from what I found in Google)

 

"- Click start

- Type explorer

- Right-click windows explorer under programs when it comes up, then click

run as administrator

 

So far, so good ... Now, on Vista formatted NTFS drives, it doesn't give

permission to edit permissions to Administrators ... OK, I have been fairly

supportive of the new security things so far... but THIS IS REDICULOUS! lol.

 

So, we have to get around that ...

 

- Browse to Computer

- Right-click on the drive in question

- Click Properties

- Click Security Tab

- Click Edit

- Click Advanced

- Click Owner

- Click Administrators

- Click OK

- Click OK

- Click OK

 

All right .. we now have ownership of the drive, which overrides NTFS

settings and allows us to change permissions (Sheesh)...

 

- Right-click the drive

- Click Properties

- Click Security tab

- Click Edit

 

Allright ... from this screen you should now be able to edit the NTFS

security on your drive

 

- Click Add

- Type your username and press enter

- Select full control

- Click OK

 

You will get a warning about changing security settings on a drive. Click

Yes to continue. It will then propagate down the filesystem to every folder

file that you have access to and that doesn't have overridden settings."

Wow!

 

Reading this, had me break into a sweat, more or less. Amazing bit of

detective-work, there. Let's hope doing it once takes care of all the

instances when it would present an obstacle.

Re: A little help from my friends!

 

Hello,

Well there are some commandline tool options to do this as well.

See this article's steps at bottom of the article:

929833 Some Windows Vista functions may not work, or Windows Vista may stop

responding

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;929833

 

This is an file example from the article:

 

1. At an elevated command prompt, type the following command, and then

press ENTER:

takeown /f Path_And_File_Name

For example, type takeown /f E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll .

2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant

administrators full access to the file:

icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F

For example, type icacls E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /grant

administrators:F .

3. Type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy

of the file:

Copy Path_And_File_Name_Of_Source_File Path_And_File_Name_Of_Destination

For example, type copy E:\temp\jscript.dll E:\windows\system32\jscript.dll

.

 

 

If you like working from the commandline rather than the UI.

 

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Re: A little help from my friends!

 

Darrell,

Thanks for your support. I still do like the command line thing as an old

DOS user.

So far my problems seem to have gone with Jimmy's tips.
