On my second hard drive there’s this folder:
D:73dca78350f1e7f756d03ee8
It contains two sub folders – “amd64” and “i386”.
After re-installing Windows XP I can no longer access these folders. I just get “Access denied”. These are the only two folders on the disk that I can’t access.
How can I regain control of these two folders?
I’m logged in with Administrator rights.
Solution:
Have you tried taking ownership of the folders? These are normally remnants of a Windows Update or Windows Installer program.
There is a detailed guide on how to do this available here.
