Windows 7 64Bit OS
I have two 1TB external SATA hard drives in a Thermaltake Docking station. Both drives show up computer folder with correct information. In computer management, it says both drives are healthy and working fine. However when I try to browse one of the drives it says it is not accessible, access denied. I ran chkdsk and it was running and then went away. I am currently running it again. Any other suggestions? the other drive works fine and is accessible.

Hello,
Try this 1
First make sure you have permissions to access that drive.
Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd. When the cmd appears in the
search list, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".
"Command Prompt" will be opened.
Here I assume your external drive letter as G-Drive
takeown /f g: --> Press Enter.
icacls g: /grant username:f --> Press Enter.
Note : In the above icacls command, replace the word "username" with your
account username and don't forget to change the drive letter g with your external
drive letter.
Good Luck
