I did read the thread. Giving Everyone modify permission should fix it, but you'd need to take ownership before you can do that.
Fix computer permissions?

It doesn't. I've actually had this problem before and it's the only reason I know the solution to it. chmodding the files on a UNIX system doesn't work either.
Assigning user permissions won't do anything either since the users that have the permissions are non-existent on the system the drive is connected to. If you open the permissions settings for the drive on a PC that does not have the specific user that last had access to the drive, a UUID rather than a username will displayed. This denotes that the user is nonexistent, thus the permissions have to be completely reset with icacls.

i know the very torrent used the name of the map gave it all away so i'm sure, it's not a guess. lying about it's not in a torrent client will not fix anything. don't worry though at least i'm not here to report you.
doubt it got anything to do with ntfs, since i never had an error like this. though if it's in a backup map of another user account of your pc... then at's not ntfs in that situation, it's your more up to date windows security...
go move/copy the map in either your own download map, your personal one. but i'm almost certain it's updating by your torrent client when turned on it start up most likely with windows on background... if removed from torrent or whatever download client you can reset security settings.

What I'd do, to force gain permissions on all files/folders, is the following:
1.) Open command prompt as admin
2.) CD to the place where the music is at (i.e. CD C:\Music). If the content is on another drive (e.g. E:\Music), do this:
For example, if I had files stored on drive F:, folder Music, I'd do this (open cmd.exe as admin):
Once you've done that, go to Windows File Explorer and right click on the folder you wish to take permission of.
1.) Click properties
2.) Click on the security tab
3.) Click on "Edit"
4.) Click on "Add"
5.) Type your username into the field, then click OK.
6.) Tick the "full control" box, for your username, then click Apply and OK.
That's how I do it.
Edit: This also works for editing system files
1.) Open command prompt as admin

My alternative works too, so don't be so full of yourself.NO.
Before:
After:
Notice how explorer lets me edit the permissions, now? So STFU

Are you even aware that 'that other user' is the exact same user who wrote that response?

I am aware, but that doesn't mean they need to be a dick about it. If their method didn't work, this is an alternative. That is no excuse for them to try piss someone off with a pointless meme.
Sorry for "cutting into" the flame war, but in the fist post we're talking about a PORTABLE external HDD. Sure, your method could work too, but Joom's method is a long-term solution. With the "take ownership" method you would need to take ownership every frickin' time you plug the HDD into yet another windoze-based device, but Joom's method resets the permissions completely, so there won't be any permission problem until windoze screws itself up again ¬_¬

Adding to this, the take ownership method has been suggested four times here, and it won't work due to it being a NTFS filesystem. This is why Joom suggested that method in the first post of the thread and got severly pissed off when four other people proceeded to post the exact same thing four times in a row, not bothering to read any of the other posts.

Welp, in my experience after using takeown, you can just delete all the permission settings from explorer and just specify "everyone" - this survives the drive being swapped out.
I have 2 external HDD's and I haven't had any issues with it.
Admittedly his solution is the easiest and most effective solution for the long run, but like I said - no need to be a dick.
I guess I should expect the snobbishness of some people on here -_- The meme - uncalled for. I don't have any more interest in this topic. I gave my method of doing it and got a snobby response, how nice.
Edit: And admittedly, I don't read the comments on page 2 and I didn't see any mention of the takeown command on page 1, which is the reason why I gave my approach of doing it. I saw Jooms solution, but still gave my approach.
