Hi,

I just installed Windows Vista and working it all out atm, but one issue i have is when i connect my external hard drive, i get access denied when trying to access it

i can see it there as a drive but cannot get in

i checked the security settings and sharing and all that but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?


Also, ill be posting this in the xbox forum but thought i try here first, when tryinig to connect to my windows vista pc through the network share from XBMC (XBOX Media Centre), i can see the shared directories, but i keep getting prompted for username and password.

ive had a look at a few settings on vista such as disabling the user login and clearing the password for my user profile on vista

actually, this happens when i try and connect from my xp machine aswell.

i can connect to my xp machine from vista, but i cant connect to my vista machine from xp

im sure these are simple problems but i really dont have time to muck around so any help would be much apreciated.

thanks in advance.
