Iomega prestige 1tb drive - access denied message from Windows 7

[istaton]

I wonder if anyone can help me - I have an Iomega prestige 1tb drive that works fine with XP, but on my new Samsung laptop with W7, I keep getting a message "Access Denied".

Thanks.

Hi,

It sounds as though Windows 7 may be recognizing the drive as a foreign hard disk drive. Both of you may benefit from the following TechNet forum thread Access denied to external Hard Drive on Windows 7 where a member of the Microsoft Contingent Staff, Wpbacon, provides the necessary steps to resolve a foreign disk issue.

For additional assistance regarding Windows 7 and how it accesses connected hard disks you may find the following resource article Troubleshooting Disk Management helpful.
