This problem started recently.I was copying my files in my external hdd.It shows that i do not have the permission and access denied.
Now this problems occur with every external drive or pen drive.I tried in my friend's pc and he was able to copy or paste in the drive.
Please help!!

Virus.

do a full virus/malware/trojan scan. fix errors. reinstall windows if nothing else works.

Try to log in from administrators account than copy your data.

looks like your laptop is infected. scan with a good antivirus.

try modifying ownership and permissions in file properties tabs.
