WinXP Pro all updates/patches.
Seagate 160gig external HD formatted in NTFS
Problem: External drive can not be written to from my user account (access
is denied) but external drive *can* be written to from my Admin account.
This seems to show that the protections of the root of the drive are wrong.
That is where you should start.
Your experience indicates that a user with admin rights has the right to
read/write to the drive, but other users do not.

I have tried giving my User account Admin rights and THEN formatting the
drive in NTFS, to see if that would make any difference. It does not. As
soon as I remove Admin rights from my User account (after formatting
drive)
the problem is back again.
Thanks for any ideas.
