How did you restrict access? Through the BIOS? The BIOS would be my first idea to look for control over that.

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

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?

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

Open an http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html
then:

Code:

takeown   /f   X:
or maybe
takeown     /f     X:\

replace X with actual drive letter of unaccessible volume
Does that work?

right click on drive letter->properties->security. Now you can change the owner to yourself. Save everything and go again to drive letter->properties->security. Set "allow access" for all 4 groups to Full Access. and press OK many times. Post results

He should change
Authenticated Users = Change
Users = Read+Execute
and change the owner to System

as well. Although he just wanna have access. But this is the default for data partitions.
