Basically, I have a Compaq computer. Recently, it was overheated and I sent it for repair. They replaced the hard disk and gave me the old one back. I connected it to my computer and I managed to open it. But when I wanted to access my files/pictures/music, I couldn't open it.
Windows gave me a message :You don't currently have permission to access this folder.
Someone please help me. The information inside holds a lot of importance to me.
Now it can't even be detected ):

how to get permissions to access external hard drive?
Clayton
I took the hard drive out of my old macbook and put it in a case I bought. When I try to open the hard drive it says "Access denied". I tried changing the permissions by selecting my user/administrator but it still says access denied, what can I do?
Answer
In Windows Vista, occasionally you may need to take ownership of certain files that not belong to you, and then assign read, write, modify, traverse, or full control permissions to yourself. If youâre the administrator for the Vista system, then you can easily do it by following these steps.
In Windows Explorer window, locate the files or folders that you want to take ownership and grant access permissions.
Right click on the file or directory.
Click on âPropertiesâ on the right click menu.
Click on âSecurityâ tab.
Click on âAdvancedâ button at the bottom.
In Advanced Security Settings dialog window, click on âOwnerâ tab.
Here you will be able to see current owner (i.e. TrustedInstaller).
To take ownership of the object, click on the Edit button. Give permission to UAC. Then highlight the user name in the âChange owner toâ box that you want to assign as the owner for the object. Click âOKâ to finish the process.
Back in Advanced Security Settings window, you will see the current owner has changed to the user you just selected.
Click âOKâ button to exit this window.
Click âOKâ again to exit completely from the Properties window.
Repeat step 1 to 4 to open the objectâs Properties window again.
Back in objectâs Properties window, click on Edit button, and confirm the UAC elevation request.
Highlight the Administrators in the âGroup or user namesâ box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for the object doesnât exist, click on âAddâ button, and type in the user name or group name desired into the âEnter object names to selectâ box, and finish off by clicking on âOKâ.
In the Permissions for Administrators box below (or any other user name or group name you chose), click on âFull Controlâ under the âAllowâ column to assign full access rights control permissions to Administrators group.
Click âOKâ twice when done.
