| | XP partition and Vista partition--URGENT! I've had a PC with 64-bit processor for over a year, but I've been running XP Professional on a partition on it. Now that Vista 64 bit SP1 is available, I've loaded that onto a second partition to test whether all my software will run on it. While running in Vista, I went to the XP partition (which shows up as drive D under Vista) and took ownership of the D:/.../My Documents folder. However, when I boot under XP, permission is denied to view any documents under the My Documents folder. Since I've not fully converted over to Vista, I still need access to My Documents when I boot under XP. How do I allow this? -- Ed |

| | Re: XP partition and Vista partition--URGENT! Login to XP as admin and take ownership? Make a login the same in both OS with same permissions?

| | Re: XP partition and Vista partition--URGENT! I'm also running dual boot with XP. To avoid having that problem I moved all of the documents/folders I needed to access from both OS's to a neutral location on a 3rd partition.
