Greetings! I just recently purchased a 2.5 sata HD enclosure to retrieve pictures from the laptop hard drive. After plugging it into my desktop, my desktop went blank for a second and came back on. I then went to check my drives and found the external drive labeled as Local Disk ( G: ). I am denied access to the drive and that "The parameter is incorrect." I have tried chkdsk, but it has not allowed me access. Thank you for your time.
Problem with Sata Hard Drive Enclosure

Welcome, Friel112!
You should try running CMD as administrator, so that it would give you access.
However, I'd first try using another command:
chkdsk /F /R /X G: where G: is the drive letter assigned to the external.
You should keep in mind that this might cause data loss, so make sure you have everything from that drive backed up somewhere else.
I'd also check Disk Management and see how the drive appears there. Do you see anything unusual?
Another thing worth the try is testing the drive's health using the HDD manufacturer's diagnostics tool from their website.
Keep me posted with the results! Hope this helps!

Windows detects that the drive belongs to a different user so it will not allow you access unless you give yourself administrator privileges. Similarly, if you are using Linux, then you need to give yourself super user privileges with the SU or SUDO command.
You might also need to change the attributes of the drive. You can do this with GParted which is available free for Windows or Linux, or you can do it in any number of different ways.
