Windows 10: I can't access G drive

I disabled User permissions temporarily and later when I enabled it, the changes would not effect all sub folders. I had originally disabled permission by right clicking on local drive G:\. Selecting properties, then Security, then selected EDIT and changed the User permissions to DENY. I then later reversed this, but the changed didn't emulate to all sub folders and files only some. When I try to access those folders, I get "The Recycling Bin on G:\ corrupted. Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?" With a yes or no prompt.

no access to G drive in windows 10

Hello Kiska,

When you asked about not being able to access your G Drive were your referring to the the path of "G Drive" or an actual external "G-Drive" made by G technology.

Parth P Patel,

I just upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 pro today.

My external G-Drive (made by G Technology has always worked great with Windows 7 but no longer is accessible with Windows 10.

I plugged the G-Drive into my MS SP3 and it works fine so I know it's not the drive or the cord.

Any suggestions.

Please let me know, I am dead in the water without access to that drive.

Thank you,

Mark Brewster
