Ok, i got 2 operating systems...

1. Windows XP Pro (Had it for about 2 years)
2. Windows XP Media Center Edition (just got it - i use it with xbox 360)

I have three harddrives...

Hardrive C:/ - is used for Windows xp Pro
Hardrive D:/ - is used for Movies and Music
Hardrive G:/ - is used for Windows xp Media center

to my point...When i use Windows xp pro, i can access all Harddrives with no problem...

when i use Windows xp media center...i can't access Hardrive C:/, but i can access all other drives fine...i checked properties and stuff but didnt find anything that could solve this problem...i have a feeling the problems lies in "Administrative Tools"...but im scared to mess with it...do u guys have any ideas...?
