Trying to install a hard drive to my system.
Says it is inaccessible.
Images will help explain the problem.
Tried 3 different HDs, and cables. Rebooted into safe mode.
Tried takeownership
Tried takeown /F command in cmd
Was working before.
Any help appreciated.

did you set it up in Computer management or when there does it say unallocated?? If so you need to allocate it..
That's odd. Another odd thing is the drive letter Q: - I would expect it to have been the next available letter. The only time I've seen the letter Q used for a drive is for Microsoft Click-to-Run applications. If so, 'Denied Access' is the expected result. Your 'Q' may not be the new hard drive after all. What does File Explorer show for 'This PC - Devices and drives'? Mine shows...
Yes, the Q came with all the drives.
It used to be E:
I was trying to put 2 drives into Raid 1 via storage. It kept failing (2nd drive Q: inaccessible).
I had a D: & E: before that. Now I can't even get one HD to work.
Maybe this:
What is the Q drive?
This means that you have chosen to install an Office 2010 Click-to-Run suite, such as Office Starter 2010, Office Starter To-Go, Office Home & Student, or Office Home & Business.These products are based on Application Virtualization technology. The Q:\ drive is the virtual file system drive where virtualized apps "live" in the file system namespace.The Q:\ drive is not a real drive; it has no space and is not accessible from Windows Explorer or “My Computer”.
I do have click to run on computer.
I suspect no HD is showing at all. @ connected now.
But they are warm, so have power.
But why?????????

Ok, I'd tried 3 cables from the motherboard which didn't work. Tried another from eSata port, and used one of the cables, and it work.
So failure of 3 sockets on MB at same time? Why?
Thanks for help guys.
