help! access denied to onenote files

[arkein]

Hello,

I am desperately in need of help here. I cannot open, access, or copy my
onenote files through my home network connection.

background to the problem: My windows XP system is refusing to boot up
(unmountable boot volume error), and I haven't been able to fix this yet
(chkdsk and fixboot commands through the repair console did not do the
trick). However, I have been able to access the contents of my hard disk by
booting up with a ubuntu live boot CD. I also managed to set up a home
network between this computer running ubuntu and my other computer which runs
windows XP.

I can access and copy all my files through the network except my onenote
files. I cannot copy or open any of my onenote files within ubuntu. Neither
can I open them in onenote on the networked computer which runs XP. And I
can't copy them to my other computer through the network connection.

Please please please I need help! I have a deadline and I desperately need
to be able to open my onenote files to salvage my work.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me,

arkein.

What happens when you try to open or copy them? Do you get an error
message? If so...what is it?

Hello Ben (if I may),
thanks for showing interest,

Hello Ben (if I may),

Thanks for showing interest,

Thankfully I found a solution. I still can't open the onenote files in the
main notebook save folder. I assume this is because I hadn't set this folder
as shared and that onenote locks these files from being accessed by any other
user by default. However, I was able to access my onenote backup files. Now I
can finally get back to work, backup my harddisk and reinstall windows.

cheers,
arkein
