cannot write to new disk on XP machine
Installed a new disk on my XP machine for backup. In XP the disk is shared, users can change files. My windows 7 machine sees the disk and the files on it, but it cannot open them, and it will not allow to write to the disk. It says I don't have permission. Don't know what else to do from the XP side, and Win7 won't allow me to change permissions for the new drive on the XP machine. My feeble brain has never been able to wrap around the permissions, etc., of Vista/Win7. I know the answer is simple. I just don't know what it is.
