Mr. X Thank you for the reply. I tried to start each dependency and failed with these results: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.

I want to access an external disk NET USE T: \\EXTERNALDRIVE\Public\Backup-Music and then delete the corrupted folder RMDIR T: \American-Light-Music-Classics /S It's beginning to look like this is not possible.

Thank you Mr. X I have exhausted ny attempts to fix my problem via TAKEOWN and ICACLS. See this thread: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistafiles/thread/027b58d0-439c-4425-9930-a7770da0f762 When I tried ICACLS or TAKEOWN as administrator I got access denied That is why I was attempting to go the DOS Recovery console route.

Mr X, I carefully went throught the steps that you prescribed. http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-take-ownership-and-full-control-permissions-of-files-and-folders-in-vista/ I ran Windows Explorer as administrator. At step seven; "Additional advanced server settings" I got "Unable to set new owner on -file name-. Access denied. In Owner > Other users or groups I got; "Program can not open required dialog box because it can not determine wheather the computer named EXTERNALDRIVE is joined to a domain. Close this message and try again". EXTERNALDRIVE is the name of my drive on my home network. It is not a computer. I have no problem accessing other files on this drive. It is just these few (18) that are frusturating me because I can not delete thrm. I was able to change permissions to full control for all owners listed but this did not help with the delete function. Thanks Frank C

All of the previous posts were my attempts to delete folders on a local network connected external drive. The folders and files had an owner that I could not change. They were created with Robocopy. My stepson who is a computer whiz came to visit and provided this solution: He defined a administrative user in Windows exactly equal to the owner of folders on the the external drive that I could not manage - (EXTERNALDRIVE\admin). Other owners; (Unix User\nobody) and (EXTERNALDRIVE\everyone were OK I could manipulate them -move delete etc..He made this owner - admin - part of WORKGROUP using the Western Digital user interface. With this ID he copied the folders with bad files to a temp folder, deleted the bad folder and renamed the temp folder to the name of the original folder. That corrected the bad owners and provided write access where I previously had only read access. He had no thought on how the ownership got corrupted by ROBOCOPY but I am very happy with his solution. I post this in the hope that it may help others
