So exactly what does this do, and I apologize if this sounds rude. That is
not my intention. Thanks.

Try this fix:
press windows+R, and type cmd, then hit inter
type the following command, replace the letter "X" with your actual
external drive letter:
chkdsk /f X:
hit the inter key, and wait untell the process ends and close the window
hope it works for you.

The wholeproblem comes in as two problems. When I save a document, I get
the
message of not having rights to save a document directly on the external.
But when I copy and paste a already created document onto it, it comes up
as
a read only file. It really is crazy; but if it weren't, then it would not
be my pc. Thanks.

Ah. If your username is on it, then you are the owner. So ... I am also at
a
loss. Can you post the exact message you are getting when you try to save?
Have you tried copying a document from your C drive to the external? What
message do you get then? Is this only an MS office thing?

JM:
I followed your instructions, and my name is on the owner section. When
you
say user name, what exactly do you mean; as I have never set up any of
this
stuff previously. So, I am at a loss for clarity. Thanks.

HI.
Is this a prompt? As in, do you have the option to continue?
If not, you should try changing the "owner" of the drive.
Go to "this pc" and find your external hit.
Hit alt-enter to bring up the properties of the drive.
Select the "security" tab, by hitting right arrow from "general" until you
hear "security".
Click the "advanced" button.
Check the owner of the drive.
To change it, hit the "change" link
Enter your username in the appropriate box.
You should be allowed full access. There are a lot of settings you can
adjust here, but I don't think you should need to mess with any of them.

Morning all.
I have an external hard drive that I have been trying to save a document
onto. However, when I go through the save as features and identify my
external, I get a message stating that I do not have administrative rights
to this. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I am using Word
13,
Windows 10 and JAWS 2018 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
