I seem to have a unique problem here. A problem only Vista could think of...

Ill start from the beginning. I have this seagate 500 GB external HDD and currently I cant create new files... This I believe is a result of me attempting to share my HDD on my LAN. The problem is that I cant write to it in any way becuse when I try it says

The disk is write-protected.

Remove the write-protection or use another disk.


Try Again Cancel


So I went into the security options and set everyone to full control but nothing can be that simple with Vista

so after I clicked apply

This msg pops up


An error occurred while applying security information to:

G:ect..

The media is write protected.


Continue Cancel


I tryed running through each file holding down enter on Continue but in the end ether way it then comes up with this msg

Stopping the propagation of permission settings leads to an inconsistent state, in which some objects have the settings but others don't. If you made the change by mistake, you should apply the correct change immediately to achieve a consistent state.

So what Im geting out of this is that I dont have permistions to change my promistions so I can write on a read only file???

Dose anyone have any idea whats going on here?

I feel so lost

Try to create an Admin account if it's can allow you to do so, log off and logon as different Administrator and you can do whatever you like.
