New page

Reset the NTFS permissions on the pool manually.

==When to Use==
When reinstalling the system.

==Steps==

#Right click on the drive.
#Open the "Security" tab.
#Click on the "Advanced" button at the bottom.
#Click on the "Change" link next to "Owner", and set the owner to "Administrators".
#Check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" option.
#In the Permissions tab below, delete all of the options here.
#Click on the "Add" button.
#*Set the "Principal" to "SYSTEM", and check "Full Control", and hit "OK"
#Click on the "Add" button.
#*Repeat the above for "Administrators", as well.
#Click on the "Add" button, again.
#Set the "Principal" to "Users" and give it the "Read & Execute", "List folder contents" and "Read" permissions. and hit "OK".
#Check the "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object" option underneath.
#Click "OK", and agree to all of the prompts that it shows.

This may take a while to complete if you have a large pool, a lot of small files, or both. This can take upwards of an hour, as it has to apply both sets of settings to each and every file on the disk.
