Uhmm, are you the OP just using a different account? I ask because your answer is 99.9% identical to one deleted by the OP ("I" replaced by "you"). You can answer your own questions you know. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Feb 14 '14 at 21:53

Right click on the drive to view its properties.

Click the Security tab in the drive properties, click Edit under Group or usernames, select your username in the Permissions dialog, grant the permissions as would like by clicking the Allow checkbox next to each permission.

Hope this solves your problem.
