A little help from my friends!

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?

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."

Re: A little help from my friends!

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.
