if it's taking forever it means the hdd is fucked. see if it loads, but you might want to grab something to eat or have a wank

It will take a while. Last time I moved files it took a good 30 minutes to finish with permissions, since it does it recursively.

It will take forever

Just access it from linux where the permissions don't matter

just wait

as another anon said, just DL ubuntu live or something and boot into it. don't need to install anything and it can read the files without permission issues.

Live linux cd will solve your problems
Actually solves everything related to windows' retarded ownerships and its TrustedInstaller

Install Linux onto a flash drive and boot from it instead. It'll ignore any of Windows's stupid permissions.

Right click>properties>security

Then edit the permissions and take ownership of the folders and its sub contents.
