Hi, i set permissions on my external 1.5 Tb drive and want them gone and able to use on other computers. I tried a system restore and it didn't erase them I'm trying to not have to reformat my drive. I know that there has to be a way to set my hard drive free of these permissions but I don't know how to do it. (It would also be nice to get the locks off the folders) lol lol

Right-click your external drive icon in My Computer & choose "Properties".
Now click the tab labelled "Security".
Set permissions in that dialog box.

Same applies to folders on that drive.
Right-click each folder in turn and choose "Properties".
Now click the tab labelled "Security.
