Answer» Hi,
I have a Maxtor One Touch 300 GB external hard drive that I used to use with a LAPTOP running XP. I'm now trying to organize the files on it from a DIFFERENT computer (that also runs XP), and every file seems to be READ only. Whenever I try to delete a file, I get the message,
"Cannot delete [file name]: Access is denied, make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use."
I checked out the owner manual, and I didn't find any suggestions.
Any IDEAS? Thank youWelcome ABOARD
Remove checkmark from "read-only" box?You have to take ownership of the files. Once you have done that you will be able to do anything you like with the files....
