Hi,
I recently upgraded my computer as i had viruses and problems to lose - but since upgrading i seem to have gained more problems Confused . i now have a new 40gig drive (cSmile for windows and 160gig for "stuff". i put my old 80gig drive back in so i could copy across the few docs etc i wanted to save but cant access the my documents folder - When i double click i get "access is denied". i have tried accessing it across the network, zipping it, putting to disk etc but cant get in.
when i only run from the 80gig drive (windows is still installed) i can obviously still access this as my desktop background is a pic from "my pics" - though when windows has booted the system seems to crash. ** i can move the mouse but keyboard dont work and no apps or desktop shortcuts will run :S

if anyone has any thoughts on this or any kind of solution please reply, also if you are unclear in my problem or want more information please reply, thx

Sounds like the Microsoft security is working!! I'll have to look around for the way around that...

when you have the 80 in alone (or maybe with the 160 as slave) (you need to boot from the 80, for this to work) reset all security/share settings to low)
As BB points out, MS is secure, when you want it least Confused , the problem is a works as designed feature to prevent some one from stealing just your drive and opening it on another computer.

ive jst been having a play with the 80 - i can access "guests" account and looki in the my docs, my music, my pics etc but i didnt have anyhting there as the guests account has never been used - saying this i can see the default pics that microsoft give you (sample pictures).
i dont know if this helps or complicates the issue but i thought it was worth mentioning

OK... Go to:
My Computer
Right click on the drive & choose "Sharing & Security..."
Click the "Advance" button
Go to the "Owner" tab
Click your account in the "Change owner to" box
Check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box
Click ok and wait for it to be finished.

That SHOULD allow you then full access to everything on that drive.
