Access denied to C drive

by dinexdashed . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

I recently re-installed my windows XP home edition and now I cannot access my C drive or my external drive.

when i right click and click open, it says access denied:
http://i41.tinypic.com/ng4ze0.jpg

when i double-click, it gives me this:
http://i40.tinypic.com/2iqh7ie.jpg

i have tried numerous things to fix this, including putting it into safe mode and making sure the permissions are correct. i do not have the ‘use simple file sharing’ in my folder options AT ALL, i am the only person who uses the computer (thus i am the admin).

also, i can get into both programs by clicking explore.

i hope this is enough information. i’ve never had this problem in 4 years until i decide to wipe/re-install and NOW it gives me problems.

thanks for the help!
