well i cant work out what's going on, new build and stuck my data drive in and did what i thought was correct with the permissions and security, i can rename/delete and so on, but my robocopy script gets access denied, i got so mad i formatted the drive but that did not sort it!

im using windows7 and just want full rights, permissions all look ok

advise please!

make sure SYSTEM has full permissions as well your user account. if you're the only user, i just add EVERYONE instead of your account. do this at the root and make sure you tick the box so it gets forced onto all child objects.

here's mine:

Take a screenshot of permission screen on a folder with a padlock and then another folder inside that one. So, we can compare both. Also, take ownership while you're at it.
