Hey!
I was running chkdsk on my laptops hard drive with my desktop. Chkdsk got stuck, so I had to cancel it. After that the hard drive became inaccessible, and I can't take ownership of it. I tried the command takeown /F, but it says access denied. Same thing if I try entering the hard drives properties and try to change the owner there. It just says "Unable to set new owner. Access denied".
The hard drive had problems booting on my laptop, so I decided to make a backup and then run chkdsk. I got all the files safe, so I figured I'd format the drive, but without access it can't be done.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm fairly new when it comes to fixing computers, so if I failed to give all the information needed, please let me know.
