Have you tried enabling "root" and booting up into it? You should then

That hard drive has no system installed it is just a "vault" for
audio/video projects.
I didn't mean booting from that drive. Enable the "root" account on your
Mac and then boot up as "root" user. Then try changing the permissions
on the drive you are having problems.
Next, log out of "root" and boot up into your normal account. If you now
can access the drive, you can disable the "root" account.
I would then do a permissions repair in your normal account; in fact it
might be best to do it before you disable the "root" account.
