Files and Folders Missing Security Access Denied

[Guest Stever]

Windows server 2003 SP2

 

I moved a bunch of folders from one location on a drive to another location

on the same drive. After the move I discovered that there are random files

and folders that I can't access in any way. When i attempt to access them

even as Administrator I receive Access Denied. When I right click on them I

noticed that the security tab doesn't have anything in it. I tried to use

CACLS.EXE to add the permissions back but I it can't since nothing has

rights to the files and folders.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks
