  1. Access Denied to any external drive


    Hi,


    Whenever I connect an usb or harddrive, my laptop gives me a "location not found: access denied" error. For my external harddrive I have tried everything I could find on the internet, I tried to take ownership, by going to the security tab and changing the owner to MYLAPTOPNAME/myusername, but it gives me a "failed to enumerate objects in container: access denied" error and I cannot seem to find anything about this online. My external drives works for sure as it used to work with my laptop and still works on other laptops.

    Please help me out.

    Mirijam

    :)

    You know, Samuria, they say that "great minds think alike, but so do mediocre ones." I had the same thought you voiced in your suggestion to convert the drive to FAT32, though I was thinking more along the lines of exFAT because of the larger file sizes it supports.
