Your clarification suggests that it was neither the hard disk
that made a noise nor was there anything strange about the
noise from the floppy disk drive. In other words, if you're
after relevant advice, take care with the wording of your
posts . . .
Assuming that your problem is caused by a security issue,
you should now examine the permission structure of your
profile folder. Have a look at the folders under
c:\Documents and Settings - at least one of them relates
directly to the name you type when you log on. If you do
not know what name this might be, do this:
- Click Start / Run
- Type cmd {OK}
- Type set user
You will now see your current logon account.
If you're unsure about permissions and how to examine
or set them, click Start / Help, type Permissions ,
then familiarise yourself with the concept of NTFS
permissions.
