Help!!

I just reformatted my HD (again--no more dual boot). Before I did so, I exported my E-mail and contacts (.pst)--when I tried to import them back into Outlook2000 SP2, I get an error that states "you must be granted permission to access the file g:\email.pst". I get the same message except g:\contacts.pst when I try import my contacts.

I was running Win2000 SP2 (final/unfinal/final) with Office2000 Professional SP2 before and after my format. The only thing I can think of is that I performed the export while logged into Win2K as &quot;John&quot; <--same access level as Administrator.

After formatting, I decided to just use the Administrator name. Is this what's causing problems? All the previous times I have done this--I created a &quot;John&quot; log in profile and had no problems importing. Is there any way around this problem?

Thank a lot.

No, I just tried that. Thanks a lot. Geez, I hate all the &quot;new&quot; things in under NT. I'm used to easy and simple 9x.

I have no user created--only Administrator and no guests. Why do I still have to &quot;share&quot; the directory? Is there any way to set up Windows2000 so that I don't have to share all my partitions?

Thanks for the help.
