What operating system is this again?




XP Professional SP 3 on both of my computers, Vista on my colleague's.

Have you mucked with permissions in Linux? If you dual boot can you see these files in Linux? As they are no threat (ie like my pics which are in Vista but can be viewed on the Vista partition of I boot Linux, I had to go to the su prompt and

# chmod 777 *.*

Thus giving read write and execute permissions for each file. Just 77 should work but.......it is possible that the non execute function got messed up?





This all happened before I'd installed Ubuntu Linux as an experimental dual-boot on my desktop PC. I haven't touched these files from the Linux side since then, and I've checked the (Windows) file attributes are all "A" only (see Mac's post).
