I merged one partition into a folder of another using Partition Magic -
there was no errors during this process.

Now when I try to access this folder, I get "Access Denied" error as if I
don't have the privilages although I am set as Adminstrator on the account.

Any idea how I can re-access these files?

TIA
 
Try re-taking ownership of the files/folders

In XPHome, reboot into Safe Mode, right click on the files/folders, and
select Security

In XPPro, just right click on the files/folders and select Security.

Sorted now, thanks everyone who helped!!

Rock, why do you say that the groups posted where unnecessary? I chose
groups that I felt were appropriate to the query. Sorry if you felt this
was inappropriate.

I just felt you posted to too many groups. But anyway, glad you have it
fixed. What was the resolution?

It was only four. Did it not just look worse as they were all long named
ones!! :-)

Disabling the "simple files sharing", then when I went into Security
settings where I ticked the box for "Inherit from Parent..." in the advanced
section.
