    Drive Permissions: Disable access / Viewing of drive (no group policy)


    Windows 7 OS with admin rights (group policy not installed)

    Hello to the forum, I would apprechiate some help.

    Q.
    How to stop external hdd OS writing to a drive (without express permision or blocking totally) and controlling overal access.

    Or needing the windows admin password to access the drive.

    I understand group policy (gpedit.msc) does this but its not installed, which leaves doing something with permissions in the security tab
    computer > properties > security >

    Thanks
