I have 2 hard drives, both with XP Home SP3.



When I am on drive A, I can't access the files in the Documents and Settings

folder of Drive B, I can see them but when I try to open any of them I get

Access Denied error.

This is an NTFS permissions issue, if the folder is marked as "Private"

others will not be able to access them . While logged on to the

installation where you have access to the files right click on the

folder in question and click on Sharing and Security and select an

appropriate security level to allow others to access the files.

Drives A and B are floppy drives. If that's what you really mean, or even if

it isn't, please include a little more detail including a ver-batim typeing

of the error message/s.



If you're on Drive A it would be normal to not see drive B, because for

there to do anything on drive B means you'd have to change out a floppy.

Unless you have two floppy drives. Do you?



Details man, details.
