windows 7 - Access denied for external drives (FAT32) on Windows7 , Diskpart, takeown, nothing works

I have been trying (without any success) to access 2 external harddrives and a USB key on Windows 7, the 3 with FAT32 format. (for the fun I also formatted one in ExFat to try, didn't work)




The access is denied each time (the 3 devices work perfectly on Mac) ;
I tried :




  • To change the permission on the disk

  • To run takeown (on cmd and powershell)

  • To run it as an hidden administrator

  • To format it, clean it, change the attributes with DiskPart

  • To format it through Disk Management (formatted it, still didn't get the access)

  • To change the security key to 0 to get the permission




Each time, I get "Access denied".



Little challenge, I am currently recovering 2To of data from another harddrive with TestDisk, so I cannot restart the computer.



Any idea ?
