New partition. Old "documents" locked?

How do I unlock them?

I just made a new bootable on my SSD, and of course all my games and docs are on other drives. "My documents" is now locked to write and erase...

You gave very short description of what you did.

Educated guess: Try resetting permissions on the whole 'old' folder structure.
Good idea is to reset owner. You'll find the option under: right click -> properties -> security -> advanced - > owner
