Dear Robert and NG,

Thank you for the quick reply. I had indeed set the Security tab for both the C: (which is working) and the I: (which is not). And... I set it for the folders C:\0UserFiles and I:\Snowdancer. If you follow this link you can view these properties. http://www.s-i-inc.com/Security01.jpg and http://www.s-i-inc.com/Security02.jpg. The Group or user name is slightly different for the folders. Can you spot the problem?

I would love a tool that would trace down the cause of these issue. I believe Browstat.exe is such a tool, but I cannot find a working download. The ideal tool would run on the XP machine and work like tracert.exe. It would attempt to push through firewalls, antivirus programs, and levels of permissions until it failed. At least then I would know what Vista program is issuing the "Access is denied" error condition. As it is now, I am trying various things at random with no luck yet.

Thank you,

Bob

Hi NG,

I am having a small problem trying to write to an external hard disk drive (eHDD) on a Vista Ultimate machine. My XP machine (Snowdancer) has no problem reading and writing files to the internal HDD of a Vista machine (Osiris). If I copy test.txt from Snowdancer to \\Osiris\C on Osiris\tmp all goes well. I can read the C: drive on Osiris and the eHDD I: drive with no problem. But if I try to write a file to Osiris I: drive I get the "Access is denied" error.

I have tried to set the permissions the same on the C: as on the I:, but still no luck. I am using the standard Firewall on both machines. Osiris has OneCare running and Snowdancer has Norton 360. My user name on Osiris is Bob, but on Snowdancer it is Robert Schuldenfrei. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

BTW, I tried to follow PChuck's suggestions and download Browstat.exe, but I could not find a place to download same. Both Dynawell and Stanford did not let me do it.

TIA,

Bob
