Yeah I can see sharing tab in the property of that drive

Try this. Use the file I have attached, save it to your computer and extract it to your d:\

Go to a command prompt and type

takeown D:\(insert name of folder)
Similarly for G:....

This "should" give your current user rights to the folder. Your best doing this with your administrator account.

Hope this works.

Abt .exe, it won't do anything with your hdd, it only change permissions in order you can have access to you hdd.

GIVE UR FEEDBACK

see if this helps :

right click the drive, go to sharing and security and enable sharing with full permission.

For both drives same problem????

surprising.....if the data is not so imp and u have backup then best option is ...1st converting to FAT 32 and then back to NTFS .....

have u checked for bad sectors????
