I recently installed Vista Ultimate x64 on a new HDD, and connected an old HDD (that I use to store music, documents, downloads, etc) to the system. The old HDD was previously connected to a Windows XP system and used in the same manner, as a storage drive.
When I attempt to delete folders located on the old drive, I get a dialog box that says 'Destination Folder Access Denied' and it prompts for administrator access through UAC. Once I confrim the operation in UAC the file/folder is deleted.
This behavior is different than the default behavior on my OS drive, where if I delete a folder/file in a non-system area, it just gets deleted, no prompt necessary.
I eventually want to move some of the C:\Users folder locations to the 2nd drive, but I want to be sure to fix this permissions issue first. Is there a way to force the 2nd drive (along with files and subfolders, of course) to have the same permissions as a new folder created at the root of my OS drive?
