    the mobo is about 3 or 4 years old and I built it my self
    mobo is a 990FX Extreme9, cpu fx8350 4ghz, 32GB ddr3 mem.
    and yes I replaced the battery and re setup the bios

    Nope, it hasn't changed since version 3.1 released with Windows XP in autumn 2001 (NTFS - Wikipedia)

    The problem sounds like it is due to the way permissions work in NTFS. The access to a file is based on your Security Identifier (or SID) which is a unique random looking number and not the same as your user name.

    From your description I guess you have 2 different SIDs and so you aren't authorized. What you need to do is right click on the drive(s) you aren't authorized to, go to Properties > Security > Edit and add your user (and probably the administrators group as well).

    See option 2 here :Permissions - Allow or Deny Access to Users and Groups in Windows 8

    You may need to take ownership first in which case see option 4 here Owner of Files and Folders - Change in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    AFAIK this is not entirely accurate, as people dual booting XP and later Windows versions may discover. However, the usual complaint is an issue with backward compatability, which causes XP to run a disk check when it sees a partition that 10 has written to previously. This is not the situation posed by the OP, which you rightly point out is probably a permissions issue.

    Even within NTFS 3.1 there are changes that have minor impact on compataiblity.

    This behavior has been reported on several occasions it is, although undesirable, "by design", because WinXP and Win7 use slightly different structures in their filesystems, and WinXP interprets the Win7 filesystem as "having errors", and the opposite will also occur -- Win7 will see "errors" on the WinXP filesystem.

    That's interesting. Certainly on my 1607 install fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo C: still shows NTFS version 3,1 (same as XP).

    I guess I shouldn't believe everything on Wikipedia :)

    The only reason I came across this is that I was bitten by this phenomenon and went looking for a reason.

    I was playing with Win8 ToGo on a machine whose installed OS was XP.
    On the next XP boot, it always ran chkdsk. This did not seem to be a NTFS "dirty bit" issue, so I dug a little deeper.
    Unlike, say, a live Linux disk which totally ignores the contents of the internal hard drive unless you explicitly mount it, busybody Windows simply can't leave well enough alone. It insists on doing things by default (like running Windows Defender on every attached drive).

    I have tried adding me and admin and taking ownership this
    problem just recently started. I upgraded from w8 pro not xp,
    I am not actually dual booting, I am using a removable HDD tray
    I am swapping HDD's with the tray but both have windows 10 pro on
    them with the same activation code and the same Microsoft account,
    is there anyway to synchronize the Sid . besides if I delete the partition
    and create a new partition the drive should not show up when I swap the boot drive
    with the old drive name and files and folders on it and it does but some files and
    folders cant be accessed and some can. . this has got me baffled...
