Hi, I’m having a problem accessing some of my files. I think it might started when I changed laptops and restored a backed up copy of all my files on to the new computer. The old one had a FAT 32 file system with Windows 2K, and I formatted the new one, which is running XP as NTFS. I’m mainly having problems with my MS Word 97 files, but my Turbocad files are also effected.
I seem to be able to access all the files that I restored. The problem arises when I move new files that I’ve created into some of the folders I restored from the old hard drive. I don’t have access to those files. However, when I save or copy them to those folders, I do have access to them. On the ones I move to those folders, I’m not able to change their permissions, delete, move, copy, or even change their attributes in “Properties”. In “Properties”, they are not checked as “read only”.
Is there anyway to get access to these files? Thank you much.
