Hi there. Hope you are well.
I use 2 external HDD's just slaved for storage. They're connected via USB / SATA adaptors. Works fine, but... I don't know if there's perhaps a short in the cable or what happened, but a few weeks ago after a restart, one of the drives / drive info wasn't showing correctly. I even went as far as to scan for partition recovery using a few of the popular free apps (e.g. EASUS, MiniTool, etc.). Eventually I tried using just one or the other drive. Turns out there was no data loss, but I'm going to venture to guess that this little Mini-PC I use has junk hardware, particularly the USB ports.
Suffice to say, whatever trick I did to keep both drives working w/out error is maintaining so far.
Big bummer: one of the external drives is no longer letting me recurse into the directories. I can do it one at a time, if I do (folder right click) Properties > Security > Advanced and set myself as owner, then assign permissions. but, nothing ever operates recursively. I have to do it for each folder, or individual file. And there's a LOT of stuff on that particular partition.
Most of the tutorials I've seen in regard to Permission / Ownership issues advise to use that method - set the Owner, assign permissions, etc.
Frankly, it's tedious. Does anyone know of a "wizard" type app that will do this for me? Maybe a powershell script?
EDIT:
i tried the command line as suggested here:
(got that from a thread here at eleven forum actually)
As you can see, that's having issues as well. And it was run in an elevated Powershell
