Since the files on that drive were created by a different user, you don't

own them.

To take control of them, you need to take ownership & change permissions.

 

Assuming the files are on Drive D, and that you have an administrator

account:

Open a CMD prompt, by clicking on Start - All Programs - Accessories

right-click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator"

 

takeown /f D:\ /r /d y

icacls D:\ /grant administrators:F /t
