Look into "NTFS File and Directory Permissions" in the built in help and
support or/and with a Google search.

You can, but the second drive must be partitioned as NTFS and not FAT32.
Fortunately, the rest of the response you are looking for can be found by
tapping the F1 key at the Windows Desktop. In the on-line Help and Support
Centre, search under this string: "Permissions and user rights," and you'll
find all the info you need.
