This issue has been driving me nuts; I have a laptop (not mine) that I am going to format; the laptop is currently running Vista Business and I want to put on XP; I've backed up all the files and there are 223 pictures files that won't copy to XP. Vista has them highlighted in green and when I right clicked on the file and clicked Properties, it said that the file was block so I unblocked the files (took a long time) and tried to transfer them again but still nothing. I'm getting "Can't copy file [FileName]: Access is denied" error. Does anyone know what Vista is doing to the file that is making it not able to copy to XP? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get around this? I need this machine back up and running ASAP as it is a business machine.
Thanks in advance,
Corey
