ArseNa!

My computer broke and i decided to get a laptop. I brought an external HHD
enclosure, so i can use my 3.5" HDD from my old computer on my Laptop. But on
some of the files, I cant seem to acess them, ie on on one of my .mp3 files,
i get this message with Windows Media PLayer :

Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you
might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy
settings might not be correct.

Ive tried right-clicking, going on properties and playing about with the
security setting but no luck

Also, my old computer was XP (sp2) and my laptops running Vista


Can anyone help, thanks in advance.
