Ok, I dual boot with XP and Vista RC1.
I was recently using vista to do some work, I went to my C: drive (XP is installed on this one, Vista is installed on a seperate hard drive in partition V: ) and tried to open some files to work with. I got a few security windows popping up and telling me that I dont have permission to access those files.
So Vista tells me I can get access by clicking the “security tab” and changing the owner. I may be wrong about this it might have been allowing me to change the permissions.
Well I go ahead and change the owner to “Joshua-V” the name of my computer when running vista. I can get the files and get on with my work.
Now the big problem is XP cant access these files any more, it isnt has helpful as Vista, it just says “access denied” tough luck mate. Also I cant find anywhere in vista to set the owner of these files back to “Joshua-XP”.
Is there anyway to do this ? I look forward to hearing you solutions.
