I reformatted desktop computer harddrive & reinstalled it with XP PRO. Before I did that, I saved/backup all of my important data to my external Maxtor 3000LE harddrive.
Here is the problem, before reformatting I set the security properties for the backup folder (on Maxtor) so only I had permission to view & not the kids...I did weekly backups to this folder & did not want the kids to delete anything by mistake
So now...I can not access my folder that I had all that data in ( even though I am the Administrator & part of the Admin group). It says access denied.
What can I do to access this? It has all my family digital photo's, mp3's & financial records in there
I called Maxtor, they said that since I can access all the other data on HD, that's its not a hardware problem but a software/OS problem. They suggested checking MS for help
Does anyone know what to do? Thanks for viewing
