Mass Storage Access Denied Vista Ultimate

[Guest Morten]

Hi everyone

 

I know this question has been asked before, but I have failed to find a

solution. I would be very grateful to anyone who'd help me solve this! I have

updated my system with all possible updates from Microsoft and I have also

tried uninstalling my devices and have vista re-install them. Everything

works fine in safe mode!

 

The problem is as follows:

 

All of a sudden Vista decided that no Mass Storage Drives, like my

DVD-player AND any external USB hard drives will appear with a red circle in

Explorer. When I try to expand the drives, I get absolutely no files. When I

press "properties" and the "security tab", I am told "You don not have

permission to view or edit this object's permission settings". Nor am I

allowed to "change ownership." This is very very annoying as I have to boot

into XP to be allowed to view my files.

 

For the record: I do have full administrator rights. I have also tried a

solution some people have suggested earlier which is to go to the "computer

folder" under "Local Security Policy", but this does not exist.

 

Please, anyone with a slight idea of what might be the cause, can you please

come forward and reveal yourselves!

 

 

 

Cheers,
