Is X:\ a mapped drive, external drive, partition? Some more information
would be helpful.

In the Disk Management console does X: show up as healthy?

According to Disk Management, the Status is "Healthy (Primary
Partition)".  It's an internal drive and I'm not sure what you mean by
mapped drive.  It's not a mapped network drive if that's what you
mean.

Incidentally, I right clicked on the drive letter, clicked on the
Security tab, and took a look at the permissions and...  none of the
Allow permissions were checked off.  I checked Allow under Full
Control for SYSTEM and Administrators and a few hours later they were
updated.  Unfortunately, I still can't access the drive.

Is your account an Administrator account ?

Yup - it is indeed.
