Are you able to open the Security Tab through properties on this Drive?
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??
