Hi
Can any one help me,
I got a 40 gb hdd
Divided it in to 5 parts
All fat32 file system except one and that is of 9 gb ITS NTFS
I can access some folders and files in that drive but rest of them I can

Its saying "e:\[foldername]\[folder/file name] not accessible... access denied"
i tried to move some files in that folder but after i moved those files and folders (in the same drive) when i tried to access them its sayin acess denied.. i just accessed that stupid folder but now after moving it its sayin "access denied"

So guys please help me I got some very important data in those folders

OK FAT and NTFS don't get on at all.
NTFS can reda FAT but FAT can't read NTFS.
The best thing to do would be to convert your entire drive to NTFS and go from there,

Here's (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/convertfat.mspx) how to do it correctly.
This will not damage any of that data on your drive.

Also, right click the restricted folder, choose security/sharing, find the security tab. Ensure your users has full control. Choose advanced and make sure there are no deny permissions.

Oh and convert to NTFS if that doesn't help.

Sounds to me like the problem is on an NTFS partition - "access denied on ntfs"?

I agree with jc105 that you need to check the security tab on the folders properties.

Please also be aware, If you convert a FAT or FAT32 partition to NTFS you cannot convert it back without formatting the partition.
