Thanks for your reply.
My account has administrative rights. I get "You do not have permission to
view or edit the current permission settings for (folder name), but you can
change auditing settings." This happened because I mistakenly removed every
account except "CREATOR OWNER" and my account at work "Дмитрий Копничев
(Kopnichev@clearing.ru)" from my portable HDD Security Properties and
changed an owner to "Дмитрий Копничев (Kopnichev@clearing.ru)".
Please, Help!
