partition on hdd is not accessible. Access is denied
Hi
I have 500 GB Segate SATA hard drive , I divided it to two partitions :
One NTFS partition for windows 7 professional OS
Another NTFS partition (W) is for data storage
I have got another hard disk drive western digital 1 TB for backup
The username that I normally log in to my system is : ramadion and it is member of the “ Administrators ” group please pay attention to the letter s
Today (means before there was no problem) when I tried to access W it says : W is not accessible accessed is denied
When I read the quote below :
"E:\ is not accessible. Access is denied" issue
I checked the properties of the partition W then “ Security “ tab I have seen only (no other users) :This means ur current account is not an admin. Enable the default admin account in 7, logoff and login as the new admin. You will be able to access the drive. Then make ur user account as the owner for tht drive. You will be then able to access the drive when you login as ur account.
Administrators ( viewsonic \ Administrators )
viewsonic is name of my desktop
When I added the username : ramadion everything back to normal
My question shouldn’t group name : “ Administrators “be sufficient to access partition W rather than adding the username : ramadion ? Since the username ramadion is part of the “Administrators “ group ???
Thanks
