yup i did get access to some but most cant get access to them I gotta fully format the disk and start over  save what I can from my data cause this started happening for like the last 4 months and I formatted my PC but I didn't fully wipe out the data from my disks 

Save what you can and if there is any indication of corruption then its a sign that its starting degrade your files.

 

About those you can't change ownership it's because its tightly secured by windows probably system things.

 

Those you can skip but it's not impossible to change those just through PowerShell.

How familiar are you with DiskPart? My guess is that the disk is dead/dying.
What make and model is the disk?

5950X/3080Ti primary rig  |  1920X/1070Ti Unraid for dockers  |  200TB TrueNAS w/ 1:1 backup

Apparently those files is owned by something, you can change ownership to you in permission settings.

Include subfolders too.

I'm jank tinkerer if it works then it works.

Regardless of compatibility 🐧🖖
