Getting Access Denied Error When Accessing a Newly Installed Internal Hard Drive From Disk Management.

Hi George,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below-listed questions and get back to us.

1. Do you see the Hard Drive in This PC?
2. What is the complete error message that you get when trying to initialize the disk?
3. Have you logged into the computer as an Administrator Account?

If you do not have any data on the drive, you may try formatting the drive and creating appropriate partition from disk management and then check if you are able to access the drive.

Try the below methods and see if this helps.

Method 1: Enable Default Administrator Account.

Step 1: Click on the Start Menu and search for
Command Prompt > Right-click on the Command Prompt >
Run As Administrator.

Step 2: In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and hit
Enter.

• Net user administrator /active:yes

Step 3: Once the command is completed successfully, restart the computer once. You will see a new user account named
Administrator, so login to the Administrator account and try to initialize the disk and see if this works.

To disable the Administrator user account, login to your old user account and follow the
Step 1 and Step 2, but type the below command to disable the Administrator user account and restart the computer once.

• Net user administrator /active:no

Method 2: Initialize the hard drive on another computer.

Remove the hard drive from your current computer and insert and initialize it on another computer. If you still see the error
Access is Denied, then you may want to contact your hard drive manufacturer for further assistance because the drive could be faulty.

Hope it helps.
