I'm assuming that you all still have the same problem. I experienced the same
problem a couple days ago and I have found a way around it, or so it works
for me. Another benefit from all that MCSE training I suppose.
Here is the problem that I had\have
I setup 3 machines on a basic wireless router. One machine is Windows Vista
Ultimate x64, and the other two are Windows XP x32. The primary propose for
the two XP machines are for file storage and for security (DMZ). The Vista
machine was designed solely as the primary workstation. The Vista is setup
like this…
3x 200GB on Raid 0 (primary drive)
1x 1TB SATA2 (second drive)
And the primary XP machine is setup like this….
1x 200GB SATA2 (primary drive)
2x 400GB ATA133 (second and third drive)
I setup this config about 3 weeks ago and everything has been working fine
UNTIL Vista thought it would be a good idea to do a “check disk†on my second
drive (the 1TB). After that I would get the same “Destination Folder Access
Denied†and “You need permission to perform this actionâ€Â. I must have spent
about 4 hours fighting with Vista over who was boss. My saving grace was the
fact I knew exactly what was causing the problem. Vista changed the file and
user structure when performing the “check diskâ€Â. Yes it is true the problem
was fixed by taking ownership, setting “everyone†with full, and getting rid
of the “read-onlyâ€Â. My problem now is not from transferring from one computer
to another but from one dir to another. I have a dir called music with this
file structure… (within the 1TB)
Music
-------Alternative
-------Rock
-------etc
-------etc
-------Faith no More
I had moved the “Faith no More†dir from one of my XP machines to the folder
“Music†but can not move the folder to the “alternative†dir with out that
$*&#@^& message. After resetting all the permissions (taking ownership,
setting full, and removing read-only) on the “music†folder it works. Problem
is I have to do this process every time I move a folder within this DIR.
Any Ideas??
Tried the UAC, “show allâ€Â, and a few others with no luck.
