    Solved External Hard drive issues.

    Hey, I plugged in the faulty hard drive at another laptop. Ran the chkdsk command. Same thing happened as on my own laptop. I also plugged in an older drive from my old laptop. In my current laptop. That runs fine. So i guess the problem was the external hard drive. Not my laptop itself. So i...

    Progam Files (x86) folder stays in read-only.

    I have moved the folder of the entire program (MetaTrader 5) that resides in: C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader5 To another location on my external harddrive. That works. I created a shortcut in there with a "/portable" in the target field of the new shortcut. I have to re-configure and adjust...

    Progam Files (x86) folder stays in read-only.

    Oh wait, i made a mistake i misread you. The ownership currently is Thypi (DESKTOP-SU6S5Q5\Thypi). I changed that not so long ago. I was following steps on a different website trying to resolve it. But before that ownership was something else.
