Hello Group

I've just upgraded to XP Pro on PC "A" and am running XP Home.. on PC "B".

From B I can access all A's drives and drop and drag files from A to B.

However, from A, although I can access all B's drives I can't drag and drop
files from A to B. The error message says the file may be in use or the disk
is full!!

Is it to do with XP Pro's security something.

Thanks.
 
Hi Tony,

The issue can happen if you don't have permissions to write to PC B's disk.
For example, you may only have read rights, but don't have write rights to
copy files to PC B.

Here are some steps to try:
1. Please create a user account with the same name and password as you
currently use in Computer A.
2. In Computer B share a folder and click Properties. In the Shared tab,
make sure the user name is listed and have

3. PC B uses XP Home, which by default has Simple File Sharing enabled,
please configure the Shared Folders to Level 5: Shared Files on the Network
(Readable and Writable by Everyone). For more information, please see:

l
4. If the problem still exists, please boot your computer into Safe Mode
and change the NTFS permission to make the user account have write
permissions.

Hope this helps!

Happy Holidays!
