access denied to removable storage

alright, I don't know alot about computers, but attached is a picture of what I'm seeing. I've tried changing permissions, Sharing and anything else I could but I just can't access anything at all. I have admin rights, and I'm logged in as admin, but Still nothing.

does anyone have any ideas? I really don;t want to have to call Nerds o.s.

Lets first see if its a permissions issue
Try this adminsistrator

Did you ever have access?
If yes what did you do that may have changed the situation.

If a new problem, you can try a system restore.

I haven't been able to access my drives for awhile now...id say almost a year. I have no idea what caused it as I seem to remember just not having access one day.

admin account made no difference.

Go to search
type device manager
In device manager look for any small yellow warning markers.
Notice if any part of the tree is open

Have you tried changing the permissions of the Drive?

Please follow the attachment for more information

YOU WILL NEED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATOR

If this doesn't work then please Run a Full system Scan with your Anti-Virus!

Hope This Helps,

my storage controllers part is open, and my "AW13WNM4 IDE Controller" has an error message. in properties, under the general tab it says:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."

should i try reinstalling the driver?

You may want to try Reinstalling the Driver

We have found the problem, its the driver. Try to update driver.

I tried following the steps shown by Shadowjk, but nothing happend. no drivers were updated or installed. everything just went back to normal..

...is there a specific site i can go to to manually download/install the drivers?

Did you restart your computer? and what are the Specs of the DVD Drive?

Go to device manger and get information about the driver and then go to website of manufacturer.

ok, I uninstalled the problem device and restarted my computer. when i went back to the device manager, the device was back, with the same problem, but with a different name... scanned for hardware changes but that did do anything either.

How to Install Drivers for Hardware from a Website - wikiHow

Unistall driver, then turn off internet. Then boot and restore internet and go to website.

ive looked everywhere for this driver, but i also dont fully understand what it is im looking for. i think im just going to give up.

thanks anyways

Lets try one more thing. Tell me what information you have on the driver after going to device manager.

it gives me no info but the name of the device that isnt working

Give me all the information that you have

ok, at the moment, its telling me:

the name: Intel RAID controller SRCS16

apparently one of the drivers took, because It's telling me info about some driver now:

driver provider: LSI. logic Corp.

driver date: 05/09/2006

driver version: 6.50.2.32

digital signer: microsoft windows

and in the resource tab, it even says "this device isn't using any resources because it has a problem"

Run the intel update utility and hope that it finds the problem

Then try LSI

yeah, it did nothing. oh well, thanks for trying
