RE: Can not access XP files in Vista

Hi Gordon

Have a look at disk management:
Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management

Just check to see if this the drive is being properly recognised, i have had
quite few external hard drive/additional storage devices that are appearing
as Foriegn Disks and have to enable/import them before being to access to the
files.
