I can access the network HD and folders. But I am unable to move/delete/copy/create etc within the drive. Says I have no access. Access denied.
It did work fine then suddenly the above happened.
I am running Vista Ultimate.

And then select "security" and in there you can change the permissions to what ever you need. Hope this helps you.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Thanks for the replies.

Tried that, but still the same. I can read the folders/files but cannot do anything with them.

Thinking of reverting back to XP Pro.

I recently saw a comment that someone had this issue when their installed antivirus was set to scan the network drives?

I did not pay any attention to further details.

Good idea thanks.

Disabled AVG and tried again. No luck. I have full access of any usb connected drives and usb drives connected via a NAS, it is only the ethernet connected one. Tried changing all the cables.

If possible connect the drive directly to your computer and see if it is get-at-able. If not then it could be corrupted. I had this on my nas drives. So i took then out and connected them to a external caddy case and found they were corrupted some how. I just did a format and reused them internally. Luckily i had another backup so i did not loose any data.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
