I've been running XP Professional from a partition on my hard drive for a
while, and decided to see if my software will run on Vista now that SP1 is
out. So I installed Vista on the second HD partition, and when running Vista
couldn't access the My Documents folder on the XP partition. I then found
that under Vista, you can Take Ownership of a folder (if you have
administrative permissions), so I did that for the My Docs folder in the XP
partition, and I now have access from Vista to my XP partition docs. Problem
is, when I boot under the XP partition, and I'm locked out of all of my files
in My Documents ("Access Denied"). Under Vista, I've tried allowing Sharing
of the folder on the Network and all kinds of things, but everytime I boot
under XP I cannot access My Documents folder. Since I was only testing
Vista, I really need to access my files from XP. How do I do this??
