Its a perssions problem. the files were created in XP. In order to access them you need to take ownership of them. there are instructions on how to here http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html?ltr=T
Let us know if that doesnt work

If you are using simple file and printer sharing, make sure the WORKGROUP names are the same. By default XP uses MSHOME and Vista uses WORKGROUP. That's the most common "gotcha'". For anything else provide some information. All you say is you have a network with XP and Vista on it. Give some hints.

Re: Take Ownership of file
I have gone through taking ownership to the advanced edit then it says file or directory is corrupt or unreadable but I know it is not as I can see all the files if I plug the drive into a laptop running XP. Where do I go from here.
