Access denied to external Hard Drive

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x86 WMC
External Hard Drive: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex (No external Power Required)
Problem: I can't access my External Hard Drive.
See The Screenshot Below.


Solution Applied:
Drive letter changed. (Not Worked)

Also tried Properties - Security - Advanced - Owner to Everyone. (Not Worked)

Checked the HDD in another PC Windows 8.1 x64. (Not Worked)

I connected the HDD then I installed the "Better-Explorer" through that i can access my external hdd normally but If I Reboot my PC then same Problem with the "Better-Explorer".
& If I install The "Better-Explorer" Then if I connect my HDD Then from the beginning i can't access the HDD.

In Tune-Up Utilities Their is Disk Explorer through that I can explore my Ex HDD Drive. I right clicked on my drive from Tune-up & checked the disk for error and then repaired it (Windows Error checking tool) and then reboot my PC but it is still the same.

I will really appreciate any assistance as this is really starting to annoy me. I am also not very proficient with this matters so please bare with me. Thanks in advance :thumb:

Hello rijurocker, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You set the owner of the O: drive to Everyone, but did you also set access permissions to give "Full control" to Everyone as well?
