    In college here and I cannot delete files from my usb hard drive.
    Also, I can only sometimes copy files to the hard drive.
    There is 12GB of free space and the file is only 20MB.
    I cant copy from DOS either..: 
    C:\>copy des f:
des\Blow.avi
Access is denied.

    Above: trying to copy the folder des to f:(the usb 2 HD)..
    HELP..
    a mate has a HD also and is getting the same problem...

    edit; i also tried deleting from DOS with /F..

    Copy everything of it temporarily format it and then put everything back on. I did something similair before when i put share permissions up on the hd over a network and could'nt delete anything after i removed and put the hd back in. then again i'd an ass load of space on my system.

    I still have this problem..
    I have never share anything on the drive either..
    cant delete files, rename them or copy files to the drive.
    any help?
    When i right click the drive in my computer, there is no 'Security' tab, but there was on the comps in college with win2k.
