Can't backup because of permissions issue - Help, please

Please excuse the elementary question - I'm not an administrator or
anything, I just have a couple of computers at home that used to
cooperate nicely, and now the security settings are making it
impossible for me to back up. This is very scary for me.

I've got a home network - no domain controller, one workgroup.

I recently upgraded my
laptop to XP Pro, and now my 98SE system with the tape backup drive can't
access many folders on the laptop. I've shared the laptop's Documents and
Settings folder, but XP security seems to be preventing the 98SE system from
accessing the all-important subfolders within it, which are exactly what I
want to back up. How can I give the 98 machine privileges to read everything
on the laptop's hard drive?

Thanks,
Warren Sirota
