    Hi Ted.

    Try taking ownership of that drive/folder while logged on as an administrator. Taking
    ownership will allow you to change or give yourself ntfs permissions which is found
    by right clicking a folder and selecting properties/security. When you take
    ownership [security/advanced/ownership] you will want to check the box to replace
    ownership on sub containers also. You may need to logoff and then back on after
    changes in order to gain access. See the links below for more detailed info. ---
