Hello all
"Word cannot save or create this file. make sure that the disk you want to save the file on is not full, write-protected, or damaged."
All the documents that generate this error are in a large directory on the root of C of a Windows 7 machine. All documents were transferred over using Forensit's profile transfer wizard, from a windows XP machine. The profile on the XP machine was an administrator, and the profile on the Windows 7 machine is administrator. I verified all permissions were correct (since it is a stand-alone machine, I gave the files full-access to "everyone"), but I'm still getting this message.
The user can save the files elsewhere on the computer, but they want to be able to make changes to a document, re-name it, and save it in the same directory as the original. That's how this message is appearing.
Also, there was a "read-only" issue that I had to resolve last week with this same directory. I had to resolve it by migrating the profile to the built-in administrator account. All other attempts to remove "read-only" status failed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
The files and folder that were having this issue were on the root of C, so I couldn't change the permissions on the top folder, at risk of jeopardizing the C drive's permissions. Therefore, I moved all the files and folders to a new folder, then added the ownership permissions FOR A SECOND TIME, after the move.
The issue was that the files and folders were on the root of C. The ownership was already set to the user's account. I just had to re-apply it.
THANKS!
