Andrew,
Sometimes when you use an NTFS external drive you may have to change the
permissions for that folder. Just making a user with the same username will
not fix it. If you have XP Pro, I recommend trying to take ownership of the
folder and setting the same permissions on the child objects. This can be
achieved by right clicking on the folder and going to properties then going
to the advanced settings in permissions. This is off the top of my head. I
will boot into windows and give you better instructions.
