access denied on harddrive

[Jojjec1]

Hello, just installed windows 7 on my computer and now I cant find one of my drives.
I checked the disk management and there it was so I assigned it a letter but when I try to browse it I get access denied. I've tried to take owner ship but that didnt help.

Also in the statusbar it says "Healty(System, Active, Primary Partition)"

Sometimes you will have to take ownership and edit permissions of the drive to have full control again but i would advise caution in taking ownership of to much as it can cause problems if there is an OS on there, some people have had big problems leading to a reinstall because they took ownership of the C drive (win 7 location) be sure to create a restore point first

Maybe a temporary fix but give this a try.
Open the start menu and type in run > then go to browse and see if you can access it that way.

Another thing to try is disabling the UAC

thanks for the fast answers.
It's not the disk I have windows on that is the problem, but I think i accidentally copied over the install files for windows during the installation. And thats why its set as system.


EDIT:
Seems like I manage to install the bootmanager on F: and windows on C:
So I need both disks to boot.
Any ideas for an easy solution? like installing bootmgr on C: and override som permissions so i can access my F:
