Can't "Unblock" Storage Drive to Edit/Save Files
Hi, when I installed the Windows 7 Beta, I created a separate partition on my main hard drive with my XP Installation so that I could dual boot the systems. I have a seperate internal hard drive, I have all my videos, documents, etc on. I tried disabling "Read Only" but I can't seem to edit a simple text file in Notepad. I tried going Right Click > Properties > Unblock. But that doesn't seem to really work.I know this is a beta and most likely a bug, but I'm curious if anyone else has run into this and if there's a way to fix it?

Have you tried taking ownership of the drive?

It is easier to show than to describe. Seescreen recording below. The files does not show the UAC prompts, but you will get the message. http://members.cox.net/darienhawk67/movies/Take_Ownership_in_Win7_v2.wmv
