I have a laptop running windows vista. But when I make a 500 GB external drive USB-connected to the laptop, the laptop can not access. I got the error message
"F is available but the user account you logged on with was denied access."
Diagnostics message says: "Make sure you have typed the path correctly and you have permission to access the shared folder."
I don't have the required permissions or privileges from the laptop.
There is how I fix it.
1. Right-click Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management then right-click the drive graphic > Properties > Sharing Tab > Advanced Sharing > tick Share this folder and type in a Share Name > Apply > OK.
2. THen go to the Security Tab > Edit > Add then type ‘Everyone’ (not the quotes) > Check Names > OK and below it select your preferences, e.g. Full Control, etc. > Apply > Reply Yes to any security message > Keep pressing OK to any ‘deny’ messages > OK, etc. to finish.
