How to access files with error message access denied

Can someone please help, I backed up my old office on an external hard drive, I have now tried to access on my laptop but all computer it holds, it is a pop up window saying acess denied!

Take possession of the ROOT of the hard drive external and let it spread down through all the folders/subfolders and files.
