Folder not accessible on external hard drive

[Redmage913]

Greetings,

I keep my music on a 500GB external hard drive (no, it's not full...), along with cd images and other random stuff. I installed Windows 7 Professional on both my desktop computer and my Dell Mini 9 Netbook, enjoying it thoroughly. However, I can't access my music folder on my external hard drive when i plug it into the netbook. I initially had the external hard drive plugged into the desktop, so I'm guessing there's a permissions problem.

What I want to do is completely make the folder accessible to everyone. I don't want any restrictions on it whatsoever. How do I do this? I'm a Windows XP Home person, so I know nothing of file permissions.

Thanks,

Have you tried Taking Ownership of the folder?

To share it, right-click on the folder, and click on Advanced Sharing. You should have no trouble figuring it out from there, but if you do, we will be happy to help you.
