Locked out of folder after reinstalling windows

I recently reinstalled windows, but cant get into my music directory on my 2nd drive, i think i had some sharing options and maybe password on the folder, but i'm not sure. My 2nd drive was untouched by the reinstalling of windows

I can see the files are still there in ubuntu, but windows won't let me and doesnt give a size or file number in properties

Is there anything i can do

In safe mode as admin?

That didnt seem to work, in admin mode, i cant get access to the folder and cant change permissions,

also i dont have tools>options>folder options. just tools>folder options, and there is no option for advanced sharing j,ust simple sharing turned off

Anyone any ideas
