  Not open the MENU for the shortcut... open the menu for the actual folder. Do you see the MENU when you right click on the old MY DOCUMENTS folder in your OLD HDD?

  I am beginning to think that you should just pay somebody to do it for you since you do not even know what the diff between a FOLDER and SHORTCUT to a folder. You bring it to and Sin Lim shop and they will charge you from $0 to $80 since it will take like 5-10mins only to do.

  Problem finally solved!
  
  AndrewYap u were correct. however.. it needs to be done in SAFE MODE.
  
  Now all folders are transferred owners n permissions granted to current accout. Thanks guys. h
