Nobody can help if you don't give us any information. What does "i
can
save
or delete anything on my d drive" mean? What happens when you try? If
you
get an error message, please quote it verbatim.

For information on how to make a good newsgroup posting,

Sorry ok anytime i go to save anything it says
Error copying file or folder
Cannot copy aol: Access denied
Make sure disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not
currently in use by another program
What is the D drive? A hard drive partition? CD drive?
Its my hard drive. ?My computer has 2 hard drives the C drive is 15
gigs and the D drive is 80 gigs. ?Thanks for any help im not to
computer savy

How much free space is on drive D? ? When did this problem start? ?Could
you
ever save or copy files to that drive/partition? ?If you could what
changed
between the time things worked and when they didn't.

The error messages you quote mention "aol". ?Does this happen with any
files/folders or are you moving/copying/deleting some aol related files?

It could be an issue of ownership and permissions. ?From Start | Help and
Support search on ownership and then on permissions for info on this or
see
these articles:

OK im using aol as an example. i have over 60 gigs of free space on my
second hard drive the first hard drive isnt effected by this problem.

Then look at the ownership and permissions issues.  Btw, glad you made it
back safe! Thanks for serving.
