How To Take Ownership and Grant Permissions of Entire Hard Drive in Windows 10 PC or Laptop

[@spanky7277]

YESSSSSSS! 🙏🏻 FINALLY someone made a good and comprehensive video!!! 37hrs later I’m starving, dirty, frustrated, and completely losing my mind . So glad I didn’t give up. THANK YOU for making a video for the tech-challenged folks!!!!! This worked!!!! New sub!

[@Tricknology]

Glad it helped!

[@EllieVaricuber]

After an hour of searching on the internet, I found your video and this is the only thing that helped me. You're the best, man!! 👍

[@bc8798]

ND I searched. For three days 😢

[@dhiesstractedbyyourvoice1929]

For real, I gave up reading Microsoft Forum to Reddit, and went to KZbin. This dude should go to heaven in the afterlife 😭

[@isaacturner199]

I dunno why i'm the only person in the world none of these methods are helping. It does everything but certain folders from my old drive and refuses to give up ownership..

[@intothekey]

Did you ever figure it out? I'm in a similar boat

[@isaacturner199]

@@intothekey i did, but I don't fully remember. I think I had to this to EVERY SINGLE FILE I wanted to do anything and it took me HOURS to copy stuff over. I can't remeber if I had to add anything else. I still have the drive, so I can mess with it again and let you know.

[@intothekey]

@@isaacturner199 I appreciate the offer but you don't have to do that for me. I refuse to go though one by one like that lol

[@harshkumbhar3015]

​@@isaacturner199I am late and you must have figured it out already, but for someone else...just before selecting your system as the owner of the hdd, tick the "replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object" that is at the bottom left. What it does is applies the ownership settings to each and every file in the selected folder(and the folder itself) and then continue with add the permission entry.

[@Maggnetta]

[@Scooby3150]

My laptop died so I needed to transfer data from its hard drive to my new laptop. Turns out admin rights don't translate from machine to machine. This video was a lifesaver for me to recover all my data. Big thumbs up!

[@kenanderson2002]

Eight wasted hours searching for the fix, and 5 minutes after finding this video, my problems have been fixed. Thank you!!!!!

[@followtheredhat]

Wow, this helped me so much! Thank you! My laptop died and I struggled to get the harddrive out (stripped screwdrivers 🤦‍♀️) and when I finally did, I couldn't gain access to the harddrive with other tutorials I was using, but these instructions worked perfectly, such a relief, I am so grateful!!!

[@thaminduthilina85]

this is the only video which helped me thanks brother, I subscribed you as well...........😁😁❣

[@jem30six]

Fantastic!. I rescued my data from my old computer hard drive. I followed your instructions. I had a fair few error windows I had to close, but at the end of the drive, I had access to my docs, desktop, pics, and vids. All copied over to my brand spanking new computer ty ty xx

[@marcelfive1]

hi, I did this and it comes up with an error message for many files "Failed to enumerate objects in the container. Access is denied" I have to press continue about 100 times. afte rthe process is complete I still can't access most of the files/folders on the drives (not an issue with the SDD with windows installed), both my main one and the backup. Is there a fix or should I reset my pc again with the drives not connected? This is driving me nuts!!

did you find a solution?

[@missiew1949]

I've been having trouble installing games on a drive built into my computer and your instructions fixed it. I"ve tried half a dozen different things and your information is the only one that worked. Thank You.

[@Tricknology]

Glad I could help

[@joshuataff4894]

Thank you!!! This is exactly the instruction I was searching for.

[@dhti]

Thank you, it worked. Many guides on internet do not show the part about how to change the user, making the guides useless. This one does. After trying many different things I finally have acces. Thanks a lot.

[@Tricknology]

Glad it helped

[@LindonLeaf]

Thank you! Such a quick and to the point video is what we need.

[@ashieman4534]

So true everyone else says "Like and sub and get to the point 10 mins later"

[@Windows-er1ly]

What is it apply it said an error occurred and it says failed to enumerate objects in the container access is denied

[@PLEYOR]

You Sir are a legend. I connected my HDD to a Samsung TV and it must have overwritten something permission-wise. I've checked a few guides and this was the only one that worked! Thank you!!

[@Tricknology]

Glad I could help

[@jonathanturton]

Fantastic - thank you. Much clearer than any of the articles I read. AND it worked :-)

[@JohnCranberry23]

You are a life saver!!! Every time I plugged my external drive to another desktop I couldn't see the new copies files. I gave both PC's the same permission as per your video so hopefully all will be good when I switch between pc's. Thank you Sir.

I got this too while I was going through the steps, but you just click continue and it sorts itself out.

[@Tricknology]

You are welcome

[@marcwizard8749]

Many Thanks for Unlocking the Mysteries of the mostly unintuitive (to me!) File & Folder MS Permissions.... I keep my DATA on a Separate Local Internal drive and use Allway Sync to My NAS... But when I Installed a Fresh Copy of Win 10, for the first time the Sync repeatedly refused and displayed the dreaded " Access is denied (0x80070005)".... Nothing I tried would coax it to work.... MS Text based Searches provided no answers and then I found this (brilliant) Step X Step.... And it just worked! Unless MS changes anything, this Video is a MUST for anyone struggling to solve this issue....

[@falllenshadow]

this video is straight forward, fast, and effective. Has helped me remember the process several times.

[@AnnkurKumar]

0:26, no such option showing as 'security'!! What to do now. How to access the drive?? Any solution, please do if you have. Partition is ntfs.
