Okay, let's do this again since the last thread went down the drain.
My friend recently wanted me to recover files off a hard drive he had and after I plugged the drive into my server I discovered that there was stuff on that drive I could not even pack on to a dvd. We came to a decision that I will just share the drive using the VPN program Hamachi and from there he can copy all the files he wants off the drive and then I can wipe and keep the drive.
The problem is that while most files can be copied, quite a few are locked because we do not have permission to even view them anymore.
The first thing I did was reset the permissions for the entire drive and made it so accounts "everyone" and "Hamachi" had full read/write control on the drive.
It did work to a degree but even after that initial change of permissions there are still pockets of files that refuse to have their permissions changed unless I go and manually do it and I don't have the time to do it to all the files.
Can I get some help here?
