| | Identity can't save to external USB drive, need permission? Vista PC with USB External drives I have established a separate identity where I conduct business activity. Both my main identity, and my business identity were set up as administrators. When in my business identity, and I try to save a file to my external USB drive, I get the message 'You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain it'. Unfortunately, I am the administrator and don't know how to grant the permission? Assistance appreciated - IM |
