Re: Folder is not accessible

You haven't said why your old Dell died, any chance it was the hard drive?

Can Windows even see the old drive?

Does the computer see the drive at bootup?

Is this in Media Center (seeing how that is the focus of this group)

If you can see it, but it says you don't have permission, yada, yada, and
you are logged in as administrator, you might try taking ownership in the
security settings.

My Dell died over the weekend, so I bought a new Toshiba. Before I threw
my
old laptop off the cliff, I pulled out the hard drive. When I hooked it
up
to my new computer, I could not access the files that I saved on my
desktop
on the administrator account. I thought I could just go back and change
the
settings so that the files were open to the public, but when I tried
changing
the boot order so my laptop would boot up with the USB hard drive, it
didn't
work.

Please help!

Thanks
