java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider has an checkAccess method
FileSystemProvider (Java Platform SE 7 )

well didn't make a difference, i imported the following..

import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import...

Nope, since i wrote the code exactly as its shown in the book, i'll include path and see if it goes through

I'm having that same issue using the same book, how did you manage to get past it?
