    folders on XP partition

    I have installed Vista Beta 2 32-bit. While trying to gain access to My Music
    and My Pictures folders from my XP partition, I have now made them
    unavailable on XP. The permissisons feature was confusing for me. Now, when I
    boot to XP, those folders show empty, with access denied. I can access them
    from Vista, but would prefer access from both, or at least back to XP. I can
    access the Vista equivalent folders from XP.
    Any ideas would really be appreciated!

    It's possibly because your My Music folder on XP is within your Documents
    area - try changing the permissions to "Everyone" has read-write-full
    control, boot into Vista and see if that helps.
