Hi,
I am trying to attach my mdf files to SQL server (using windows XP) but it gives operating system error (error 5), saying Access is denied to the dbMaster.mdf

I gave full control to folder in Windows Vista and 7 and it worked but I did not find how to give control in Windows XP. Please help.

Thanks
