This started a short bit ago... chkdsk finds nothing wrong. But whenever I moved a file or folder on my D: drive it says I dont not have permission to view this file/folder... it's driving me insane. Anything I can do to see whats wrong besides chkdsk? Ran AV check and Ad-Aware.

Actually that's not totally true... once chkdsk did find a problem with the security descriptors and it fixed it... and it gave me a few folders back... but it doesnt do that anymore. I've got a few folders right now I cant get into because of this problem... so I really need to fix it.

That was with a admin account.... anyways for some reason it seems windows was eatting my secuirty permissions whenever I moved a file or folder. I reapplied security permissions to the whole drive and it seems to have fixed it.
