I have lost access to some of my data on my hard drive. When I try to enter some of my folders, it says “you don’t currently have permission to access this folder.” The folders are listed as “read-only” and when I deselect read-only, it won’t allow me the access to apply it. Also, some of the other folders allow me access, but I can’t open any of the files, which say “there was an error opening this document. Access denied” when I select them. All of the data appears to be intact, I just can’t access it. Are there any suggestions for how to remedy this? Thanks in advance.
It might be a permission problem. Right click on the drive and find sharing and change the permissions to everyone and give full permission.

No luck. Sharing is activated and everyone has full rights.
Well one more thing to try in the same are is Take Ownership. I’ve never got that far so you may want to search that.
