Re: I don't have permissions

be sure you tried this first

Q: Vista wont let me or says I dont have permissions?
A: Turn OFF UAC whilst you are connecting via USB. Make sure you are logged in as administrator and that the drive letter once assigned and accessable has read and write permissions. Check this via right-click>properties>security.

Re: I don't have permissions

do it from the admin account and see if it does work
* Press start
* Type: local security policy
* Press enter
* Expand local policies
* Click Security Options
* Double-click "Accounts: Administrator account status"
* Check Enabled
* Click OK

log off or switch users and log on as admin

Re: I don't have permissions

open explorer
press ALT
click on tools
folder options
click on the view tab
go all the way to the bottom
and uncheck use simple file sharing...
you should be able to see the security tab now...
