Reply: could it be that your win2k is not setup as NTFS and her XP was? If you are running fat32 you won't be able to see a ntfs hard drive. I have heard that you have to take ownership of files in this circumstance sometimes too. best of luck Frank :

Reply: "If you are running fat32 you won't be able to see a ntfs hard drive." Heh - how do these stories get started? Don't forget, the OP is Canadian (that's a kind of handicap, right?) Saying that XP is the most stable MS OS is like saying that asparagus is the most articulate vegetable

Reply: FAT32 is your frien. "a bunch of things and buttons" may not be your friend. Passwords are not for those who can't remember anything. I have a friend here who wastes at least 10 hours a week flapping around, unable to access various email and other accts. In every case he's "almost sure" that the PW is[his first name].
