| 499293 | 2006-11-15 04:52:00 | I just installed a new hard drive and am trying to acces files that are in "My Documents" on my old hard drive to put them on the new one before I format it. I have to do it this way because I don't have a cd writer. Problem is I get the access denied error. How can i access the files? |

| 499298 | 2006-11-15 05:15:00 | You have to untick use simple file sharing under tools / folder options / view. Before the permission options etc appear. After u open My computer. |

| 499300 | 2006-11-15 05:24:00 | But if you're sharing a folder on this computer, tick use simple file sharing again after. Otherwise the folder you've shared cant / wont be shared. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
