These directions don't work to solve this problem because I cannot "right click on command prompt." I don't see how to do that following the "click System Tools" step. What should I be looking for? Nothing I click on brings up the "run as adminstrator" option. HELP!!
Let’s try converting the drive to a NTFS and NoSecurity setting. This can be done by:
· Click the Start Orb
· Click All Programs
· Click Accessories
· Click System Tools
· Right click Command Prompt
· Click Run as Administrator
· Enter the command, convert <drive> /fs:ntfs /nosecurity (<drive should be the drive letter of your external hard drive, for example convert F: /fs:ntfs /nosecurity )
