Are you logged in as admin?

Or just boot up on your old install and move them to another folder.

i fixed it, i had simple file sharing turned on which wouldnt give me the security tab i needed. to answer your questions though, 1 yup im an admin, 2, ive got about 150 gig to move around and its much easier to do that from the primary xp install as the secondary is being deleted.
