Vista can't access XP hard drives because of permissions

[chicagotech]

Hi Robert,

Panic over, cracked it, just followed my nose, added the user "everone" to
to drive, set the permissions and accesss was granted first time.

Hope this thread helps others.

Thank you Ray.

Hi

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will give some advice, but this is the
same problem I posted yesterday and the fix I was given is as follow.

In the Vista PC right click on the c: drive, or whichever drive you want to
share, go to properties, then Security, make sure the user name on the XP PC
is included and that the permissions are set.


cheers
