I guess the systems are not part of a Windows Domain? If they are NTFS and using ACLs then the ACLs don't transfer properly between multiple single user computers I guess? (so that user Joe on one computer is not recognized as user Joe on a different computeR)
MAybe the easiest thing to do is just change the permissions for the entire disk so that Everyone (the Everyone user entity) has full permissions? Don't know if this is at all helpful, never having shared a USB disk between multiple Win7 computers. Scott On Feb 20, 2010, at 9:23 AM, Anthony Q.
