Hey guys, I have a Startech Adapter cable system which I use to attach a HDD to my main machine to access the HDD to copy over files. I cannot open or copy over the pics becuase it's showing a "security" or Permission denied message. When I double click on any of the jpeg files to try to view it on the attached HDD, message shows

Photo gallery can't open this picture becuase you do not have permission to access the file location

When I try to copy over either the main folder or any individual file I am getting:

You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file

help?
