    i have a windows 7 eval copy which expires in about 11 days and i had permissions given to certain folders of the hard drive that holds my xp

    now when im in my xp i cant access the folders i gave permissions to. which means i cant edit them or anything and it tells me the folders are empty when im in xp but shows their full contents when im in 7. i was in the middle of making a batch file when i found this little problem so plz help befor my trial runs out
