Restoring Permission for Files Located on an External Hard drive

(1/1)

jlseed:
How can I get this to scan an external hard drive, instead of my computer.  I don't see any options to choose other drives.
Thanks!

Boggin:
The program is designed to work on and within Windows only.

The Permissions only relate to the registry settings.

What have you done to the files on the external disk ?

Is it because you can no longer access them ?

This article may help with that - https://qualapps.blogspot.com/2010/09/fixing-permissions-on-external-hard.html

Thanks, I ended up moving them into a new folder on my computer, scanned them and then put them back on the external drive.  Seems to have did the trick.

Boggin:
I was going to suggest that but as not knowing how many files were involved, it could have been a lengthy process, but glad you were able to sort it.
