SEL VOL #2 (Disk 2 refers to Disk H)
EXIT
Yes?

I usually d/l on my data disk, drive H. Recently, for some reason I cannot now. I using Utorrent. When I do, an error shows up: "Error: The system cannot find the path specified (WriteToDisk)." Excuse me??? I have enough space on my drive. I am forced to use another drive, drive G; but this drive is skating on thin ice as far as space is concerned. The drives I wanted to d/led the file is 2.3Gbs; the space on the drive is 14.5Gbs. Do you think Microsoft update in May could have caused it? On the same token wouldn't it affected drive C, which it didn't? What I did was d/l the file to Drive F (USB drive) and when done, transferred the file to drive H. In the process, a window appeared and told me I have to have special permission to transfer the file. Should I continue? I chose yes and it did. I went to my files and looked up the properties of the folder download in drive H. In the permission, every check box is checked expect FULL CONTROL and the property window is greyed out. I can't do anything to the window!!! Very frustrating... :-( I am the administrator.
UPDATE: I used: drive H alone and it started downloading. Any other folder won't. NOTE: In drive H, there are 4 subdirectories. The last one was just administrated, the video file. In that folder, I looked into the properties. In the subtab, security, FULL CONTROL is allowed. It is still in relief though. The other 3 subdirectories DOES NOT allow FULL CONTROL, also in relief. Also, in 3 of the previous subdirectories of drive H, I checked in the Permission category and I cannot add nor remove any permission status; but the last subdirectory I can. Would someone please tell me what am I doing wrong???

To remove read only from a partition in Windows 10, do the following.
Type CMD in Search box, open Command Box as Administrator, type each of these commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:
DISKPART
LIST VOL
SEL VOL # (replace # with the Volume number for H partition from the list generated by Diskpart)
attributes volume clear readonly
EXIT
Close Command Box, restart PC and check again for Read Only in H Properties.
If the above does not work then try these other methods:
All righty then! I have full control of the properties in administrator and user:
Yet, the attributes still read "ReadOnly." :-( Someone is out to get me!!! Even when I check it off and select OK, it doesn't matter. When I close the property page, the attribute is always "ReadOnly!" Yes, I followed your instructions using Windows
Central. Excuse me.. When I went to the downloads folder, access is different... How can I change the access to full control?
Try the Windows Central tutorial I gave above.
Well, I spoke before I should have. When I get into each main drives, "take ownership " doesn't appear; but in the folders it does. As I said, "system restore " says it was not available. Hello? I specially added it: "5-1-2020." I'm deeper and deeper in the hole. So, can I reverse the process; go back in reverse in "Add 'Take Ownership' by Editing the Registry Manually?"
