Dont have permission to access folder Windows 10....plus "media is protected"
I made a backup of my home computer to an external USB 3 drive a while back, and due to the motherboard on my old computer dying, I now need to access this backup to get to my user profile folder.
I have successfully mounted the .tib file on my laptop. However when I try to access my User folder to gain access to my documents/music etc I get the error message " You do not have permission to access this folder"
After reading several posts on here I have tried to apply this fix

To change user permissions you need to have Admin properties yourself, which you probably do if your system is a home installed one.
Find the file or folder that is preventing access, right click on it and select 'Properties', from the properties form select 'Security'. Click on the 'Advanced' button towards the bottom of the form, click on 'Add' and make sure the inherited properties tick box is ticked just beneath the button. After pressing 'Add', a new form will appear, type in your current user name in the white box (which will be empty). to check everything is Ok so far click on the 'Check Names' button, if all is well it will add the computer name to your user name if you've made a mistake it will tell you, you don't exist! :) Now, just click the OK button, Windows should now start changing all the security identifiers to your new user log on ones.
Once it has finished, just OK out of the various forms until you are back to the desktop. Your files should now be accessible."

I do all of the above but now I get the error message that the changes cannot be made as the media is protected. The .tib file is on a 4TB external Seagate USB 3 drive
Any clues please anyone on how I can remove the media protection and gain access to my files?
many thanks
