I am running Windows XP PRO. I have a second drive (120 gig) that is
formatted using NTFS. (My first drive is formatted using Fat 32.) Using
Windows Explorer I created a folder on the NTFS drive and dragged
several folders (located on the NTFS drive) from root to this folder. I
am now getting a error message stating - "name of folder" is not
accessible, Access is denied - when I try to view these folders.
 Anybody know how I can gain access to these folders and why this
happened? I have no problem when I copy a file.

Thanks
Tim
