    Access denied to external USB HDD

    I need a foolproof way to take control of a WD Essentials 2 TB external USB drive. (win 10)

    I've tried one solution after another and even though I make the recommended changes I still get Access Denied.

    Then I got something that didn't look right so I Cancelled out and got a message saying I shouldn't have cancelled out because now the disk is in an unknown state.

    Is there a foolproof method? I'm a pretty good fool!

    Thanks - rev

    Does the disk still show up in Windows Explorer?

    Can you still see any of the directory structure?
