Hello,
Recently my old socket 939 Motherboard died and went to motherboard heaven ( or rather hell I had so many problems with that piece of crap) and I decided to purchase a new motherboard with a Nice Cpu and some added ram. I ended up with quite the nice build for the price.
Now before I go on id like to state that I am rather new to computers, and forgive me if I seem naive with this. Anyway on my old build I had 2 hard drives on it; One for the operating system and other programs (80gb) and one 250gb Data in which I had all of my Music, pictures, documents and such. All that good juicy stuff. This worked out pretty well, and I never had any problems.

When I started up my new build, I wiped my C:/ drive and installed windows 7 64x bit flawlessly. When I went to go access my D:/ drive which was left untouched from my previous 32x bit build, I found it said ' D:/ is not accessible. Access is denied."

After scanning multiple forums and consulting other computer geeks, I couldnt find a solution. I tried giving myself full access and still got no where. Ive messed around with just about every setting I could find, and quadruple checked the cables to the drive. it all seems right but I still get that message.

Here is the error:

Proof of "ownership" of drive and full access

Im about to just wipe the damned thing clean in getting so frusterated. Any Help is much appreciated!
 
have tried simply disconnecting the cables to d drive, then reconnecting them when you are in windows and fully started up
 
Can you create another profile with admin rights. try it then reboot. See if you can log into the new. If it worked you could delete the old and use the new. You should have created a backdoor anyway. i have at least two backup profiles. its happened.
 
@Jamesd1981
Just tried it, even booted up with it in an alternate SATA port.
Still no luck.
@tremmor
I did in fact try that and I still got the error mentioned above

Thanks for your help though, I appreciate it
 
I'm not saying that it will fix it, but you might want to scan that drive with the drive makers disk diagnostic utility. Or perhaps the partition table is screwed up on that drive.
 
I think the problem is Windows 7 !!
His new main operating system is 64 bit while the D drive has 32 bit.
I heard a few people with similar problems, so see if micicrosoft has any answers to this.

Try the drive in another 32 bit system and I bet it will work.

I doubt thats the reason but i guess it could be. I still put my money on a corrupt drive though.
 
If thats the case i would try clicking the drive then right click properties, tools and check for errors. Maybe that will help. On the other hand im still confused. Also wondering when he installed if he did a full format and not a quick.
just a thought if there was a previous system on there.

one note: i have usb old 512 meg and 1gig with 32 bit. reads just fine.
then again JohnB35 makes sense.

I did in fact do a quick format on my C:/ Drive which hold my OS. No errors on the hard drive
 
My only other suggestion would be to put a different hard drive in it that has data on it and see if it will access it. Your drive may not have errors but I bet the partition table could be corrupt or something like that.

was that test on c drive or D drive?
 
roughly how much data do you have on this drive, unless it is alot like 500gb or more you might save yourself alot of time and hassle just backup copy it and format the d drive and copy data back to it
