I have created a basic program in Eclipse for Android 2.1. then I wanted to look at some of the samples, and import sample projects which are in the SDK directory. I have tried opening a new project and 'create project from existing source', I browse and can select a project, all the details come up and I can click finish, but I receive an error message saying 'could not write file', and if I click on details, it says "access is denied" I have tried copying a project folder into my own workspace but it still does the same thing.
