Hans5849 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 ok, i posted before that i couldn't clear the read only attribute on one of my hard drives. Well iwas just checking and i realized the for some reason all of my folers are marked with the read only attribute and i can not clear it. There has to be some simple explination for this.

Yzöwl Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 You don't write to a folder, you write to a file and put in in the folder, the read only attribute is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aresgodofwar Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 HANS, you need to set NTFS permissions for the folders. right click the folder>properties>security. then set up the permissions as you see fit. voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
