Turn off Windows 8 permissions

New windows installation 8. I have an external hard drive with several issues, including family photos, music... etc. I can't open an any of them. I can't change the permissions. Access denied error s every time. I want to open any file, any file, anywhere, anytime, I want my damned files back and in my control. Most stupid thing ive ever seen in an operating system. Do not let the owner of the computer use their own files.
