Vista to Vista folder sharing

Ok, long story short... I pulled a hard drive from my main vista machine and substituted it with a larger one. Copied everything over from the smaller drive to the new one, then removed the smaller drive from the system. I have since assigned the same drive letter to the new drive that the old one had, "E". I shared the drive, but for some reason no other system on my network can get in to it, keeps giving access denied errors. Password protected sharing is off, and permissions are set correctly allowing for full control/read/write. If done this a hundred times in the past but it just plain wont let anything into it. It shows available, when I click on the network icon the drive shows up...but keep getting the access denied error.

Both computers show WORKGROUP as the workgroup.

Ideas???

Hi LV~

Welcome Aboard!! Great to see you!! :D

Have no idea how to fix your issue, are you running UAC full on, or what? Just turn it off, or use TweakUAC as I do and pick the Middle setting, works 100% better than Regular UAC.

I have 2X250 HDD's WD Caviar's. Work Great together. But your Trying to run RAID, right? Anyhow here's my System layout::
