Help, I restricted access to one of my disk drives

Hi, welcome to sevenforums.

What did you do that this happens? Did you change owner, did you change permissions? please explain

Hello Richdude, and welcome to Seven Forums.

While logged in an administrator account, you can right click on the HDD, take ownership of it (you'll have to give permission first though), edit permissions to check Full control for all of the same users and groups, then click on OK to gain access again.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Ok! I was trying to restrict access to the drive. I right-clicked it, then selected PROPERTIES, then SECURITY tab,
change permissions I clicked on EDIT and checked DENY for AUTHENTICATED USERS, SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATORS and USERS.
Now I can't access the drive, Please help me out.

Did you do that for the root of the volume and then it was propogating to all sub folders? What kind of volume is it? windows system or just data?

root volume and just data

lucky for you it's just a data volume!

Did you never in the past change security settings on that volume? So all was default?


wait a few minutes... have to prepare things
