Just need to click on properties, security and then in advanced in the lower tab.<br />
On the advanced you have to remove all the users from the secuity it will give you a warning concerned to the disk or file will be without any owner but dont worry, then you go into the same tab and put the owners that you want that thisk to have.

<div>
still access denied. I even am taking ownership of the entire disk. <br />
This is outrageous<br />

</div>


<div>
I'll suggest you to run Chkdsk on the specified disk once and retry taking ownership...<br />
<br />
Please note the following command will dismount the volume first.<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-36938644-1"><span>CHKDSK /R /F /X </span>
</code></pre>
<br />
Hope this helps

<div>
It's a vm. Does that change anything?
</div>


<div>
If the checkdisk doesn't help, I would recomend to turn the VM off and add it's drive to another functional VM (must also be turned off prior to adding drive) and do the changes I described earlier on the other VM computer.
</div>


<div>
I found when I had a similar issue that I needed to actually browse to the specific Folder/File that was locked down and had to complete the above steps. &nbsp;The only difference to the above is that I needed to apply the OWNER permissions first, close the properties dialog and then reopen it to apply the security changes. &nbsp;When I did a apply owner/permissions at a high level, it still didn't reapply correctly.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the file may also have the apply permissions from parent unticked and by ticking it and applying to its subfolders/files also resolved the issue.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.

Hello everyone, I having a horrible time resetting permission on our file server.
I need to migrate data off it. 
Ther permissions are all jacked up. I have had serveral ppl help me wiht it, but nobody can figure it out.

need to reset permissions to server 2003 disk

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
