windows xp - access denied to folder
I'm posting this in case anyone out there ever runs into the same problem as me...
I bought a new hard-drive and wanted a clean install of Windows XP (Home Edition). So I moved my old C: drive to slave, and installed my new hard-drive as my master.
Reinstalled Windows, and bingo.
All set.
Except....
My old "My Documents" folder (Which was now on the D: drive) was no longer accessible. I kept getting access denied.
After doing some research, I knew I had to to setup the permissions to make (the new) me, the owner.
Everything I read said to right-click the folder and go to the Security tab.
Only problem was.... There was no security tab. ????
Finally... someone said that in Windows XP - Home Edition, in order to get the security tab, you had to reboot in safe mode
Once logged in, goto your folder, right-click, choose Security, and make give yourself access to the files.
Then reboot normally.
Phew!
