Windows 10: Unable to copy items to Second Hard Drive

So I have a second 1tb WD Black hard drive where I store all my games and files but I can no longer move anything into the hard-drive even tho windows says I have 500gb of free space. I reformatted but I still have these problems. Should I RMA it? Or should I convert it from FAT32 to NTFS? (Last resort as I also dual boot with OSX and use that to transfer files across from each other)

Unable to copy files from external hard drive to new laptop

I had a toshiba laptop before and I have copied all my documents from it to my external hard drive.

Now when trying to copy the files to my new laptop, it asks me for permission and doesn't let me copy the files.

I have looked for a solution multiple times. Taken ownership of the file. Added my user to the list giving full access control and it still tells me that I don't have access to it and doesn't let me copy the files.

 

Unable to copy files to external hard drive

Original Title: Administrator Rights

When copying files to an external hard drive I get the message:

You need permission to perform this action

You require permission from your Administrator to make changes to this folder.

I am logged on with my User ID set up as an Administrator.

Why does it demand I ask myself for permission?

Also using the try again check box still does not allow the action to complete.
