Hello
I have backed up some files and my e mails to an external drive. I have re installed xp on my computer. I backed up my emails with a program called email saver xe. Problem is that when i try to access the files on my external driive i am getting a message of access denied. Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi

try to copy and paste the files to your reformatted xp drive and see if you can open them.
