Properties / Security (tab) / Click Edit / Click Add / Type Everyone / Click Check Names (it will underline) / Click Ok / Click the check mark next to "full control".

Do you get an error?
No, it sets the permissions and I still get Access is Denied. Yes, I can open the Security tab.

In case the virus/trojan/worm is still there, run both MalwareBytes and Super AntiSpyware. Links in my sig. Update both and run full scans.

I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. I use VIPRE for my AV.


(Update)

I scanned and found no viruses. As I suspected the autorun virus is not the problem. I am about to give up on this one. Also in My Computer on Windows 7 it shows up as RAW and 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free but in the Disk Management Console it appears as NTFS and healthy as well.

I am also have the exact problem.
I run my external HD in linux, and everything looks fine, my F: drive can be read and write without any problem at all. But when I plugged into my laptop windows 7, it says "access denied".
Does anyone have any idea to resolve this??

It might save time to move the data off to wipe it with Diskpart Clean Command
and then create and format a new partition(s) in Disk Mgmt: Partition or Volume - Create New
