It sounds like you are looking at the read only attribute for the folder which
would have no bearing on your ability to access any files. Possibly the files
were saved to a folder that is a user/SID on the other operating system that
your operating system does not recognize and therefore you can not access. Check
the properties of the folder AND files themselves to make sure you have
permissions to them. If you don't have necessary permissions then you may first
need to take ownership of the folder/file and then give your user account
permissions. The links below may help and assume that the files are not
encrypted..

I have an AcomData external hard drive. I have only music on it and it is set
to be shared. I brought it to my friends house to share music so we don't
have to burn cd's for each other. (Its legal, Dave Matthews Band allows
trading) He put some files onto the drive, it showed them and allowed him to
play music from the drive. When i got home and connected the drive back to my
laptop it didn't show the files. I clicked properties on the music folder and
it says read only, i unclicked it and hit apply, and then ok. To be sure i
clicked properties again and read only was on again. I have all the
permission set to full control, but why can't files be added from another
computer and what am i doing wrong. any help would be appreciated.
