Error - View Single Post - How to copy a folder from one drive to another when getting access denied message

**Iphone** · 17-Apr-2007, 06:12 AM

Question: There is probably an easy answer to this question but I need to get this done ASAP. I have a hard drive that has Windows XP installed on it. I installed this drive as a secondary drive in a PC that is also running Windows XP. I need to save all the data in the Documents and Settings folder on the secondary drive to the primary drive. When I try and do the copy I get an access denied message on some of the folders. I get the same results if I try and do the copy in Safe Mode under Administrator. Any ideas?
