Data drive wont load?

[Novakane_]

I'm transferring files from my old HDD to my new one. After I grant it permission to access the folders, they dont fully load, as in the green loading bar doesnt fully finish.

How can I get my files?

Hi there Novakane_,

Does this happen with all the files? Try transferring a single one. In case it does, it may be a good idea to test both your drives: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
Why would you need to grant permissions?

It asks me as an admin to grant permission to access the folders.

Well, you can take ownership of the drive and grant permissions afterwards. Here's how: http://www.preyerplanning.com/take-ownership-of-entire-hard-drive-in-windows-7.pdf

Thanks i figured it out myself. All it took was a couple pats on the back on the drive to get it spinning.

Appreciate the links, thanks for the help.

It's great you've sorted this out.
We should have started the troubleshooting with simply re seating the drive. 😀
