I can rename 2 of them, and one of them are the disc I have WinXP on.

The one that I have problem renaming is the one that im used to download stuff to.
All I got on that drive is Movies.

When I try to rename that one it says that i dont have enough "rights" to rename it.
I am inloged as administrator.


:mad:
 
right click on the drive, go to properties, and then the security tab (if the security tab isn't there, go into folder options and disable "simple file sharing"...that's for pro, if you're on home...boot into safe mode and it should appear)

then modify your permissions so that you have "Full Control" if you need more specific information on how to do that, i'd be happy to post again :)
 
Hmm, Thanks, I did do that now, but it still says that I dont have enough rights to change it :/
 
In control panel/administrative tools/computer managment/disk management(in the left colume) Now first rename cdrom E to G then rename drive F to E change cdrom G back to F

are you logged in as Administrator?
 
Yes I am...
Atleast in fail-safe mode.

On my regular start up I only have my account, so it logs in by it self.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
