Hi,
I recently upgraded my computer as i had viruses and problems to lose - but since upgrading i seem to have gained more problems . i now have a new 40gig drive (c 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 |

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 , the problem is a works as designed feature to prevent some one from stealing just your drive and opening it on another computer. |

right, tshirt i am the admin and the only user there are NO other accounts - i dont even log in it is set to auto and i am the admin with full access etc.
on xp-pro when i right clikc i dont have an advanced button and cant therefore access the owner tab
i have manually tried sharing the folder but i get "sharing failed", though i can share other files such as my Unreal Tournament folder with no probs ?? |
