I have a new HDD with Vista Ultimate x64 installed, and I plugged in my
old HDD with XP Pro in it. I was hoping to copy some stuff over from the
old HDD, including some in my user profile folders in "Documents and
Settings". However, I keep getting access denied messages.

I have a number of files stored on a Home Server; I have configued these
files to be available off-line on my Vista SP2 notebook. When I work in
