I would suggest you to follow methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Step 1: Make sure that you are logged in as an administrator.
Step 2: Try to take ownership of the files and check if it helps.
Taking ownership of a folder from explorer
1) Locate the file or folder on which you want to take ownership in windows explorer.
2) Right click on file or folder and select “Properties” from Context Menu.
3) Click on "Security" tab.
4) Click on “Advanced” button.
5) Now click on "Owner" tab in Advanced Security Settings for User windows.
6) Click on Edit Button and select user from given Change Owner to list if user or group is not in given list.
7) Click on other users or groups. Enter name of user/group and click ok.
8) Now select User/group and click apply and ok. Check “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects” if you have files and folder within selected folder.
9) Click ok when Windows Security Prompt is displayed.
10) Now Owner name must have changed.
11) Now click Ok to exist from Properties windows.
Once you have taken the ownership of file or folder next part comes is granting permissions to that file/folder or object.
If the above method doesn’t work, you could try taking ownership from the command line.
Or Taking ownership of a file or folder from command line
Open an elevated Command Prompt window.
To do so:
a. press windows + X.
b. Select Command Prompt as Administrator.
c. Type the following command and press ENTER:
takeown /f
d. To assign the Administrators group Full Control Permissions for the folder, use this syntax:
icacls
The /T parameter is added so that the operation is carried out through all the sub-directories and files within that folder.
e. To know more information about the above commands, run these commands from a Command Prompt window.
takeown /?
icacls /?
Once you take ownership, you can grant permissions on those files or folders.
FOR LINUX OS
sudo chown /path/to/mount/point
I think this should be working, for further query you can ask me any time.
With regards, Ashish Rana.
