Permissions on USB drives in Vista
Whenever I put a storage in my USB drive, when I try to access it, it
says Access is denied. I looked it up on google and found that it was
quite a common problem in Vista, and that the problem was in
permissions, and all I had to do was to take ownership of whatever I
had in my drive. However, when I try to do this, it says Access is
denied.
I have tried taking ownership using the hidden administrator account,
to no avail. It says that it is unable to display the current owner,
I'm not sure whether or not that has something to do with it.
I have also tried using the registry editor, and giving my self full
control over Mounted Devices, and taking ownership. I can do this, but
it still says unable to display owner on my USB drive and I am unable
to take ownership of the actual drive itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea what to do.

Re: Permissions on USB drives in Vista
Step by step instruction on how to take ownership of a folder
Run CMD (as administrator) and type: takeown [path] /f <filename or folder>
OR
- Right-click the file/folder you want to own, click properties
- Click Security Tab
- Click Advanced
- Click the Owner Tab
- Click Edit
- Select the Administrators group from the list
- Click OK
- Click OK
- Click OK
You have now taken 'Ownership' of the file and you can close the property
Windows
Now again
1) Right-click on the file
2) Select Properties
3) Go to the Security tab again, click the Advanced button
4) Now Press Edit, then double-click 'Administrators' in the list and tick
the 'allow' box for 'Full control'
You have now taken 'Full control' of file

Re: Permissions on USB drives in Vista
When I try to run takeown on the drive from the command line (as
administrator), it says "ERROR: Access is Denied".

Re: Permissions on USB drives in Vista
Hi, Jack.
Just press Start, type in "gpedit.msc", and press Enter - and then furnish
Administrator credentials. And you may have to wait a few seconds. It took
about 5 seconds to start up on my machine, during which time I wondered if
it had failed.
