I had to do a clean install on a PC. Got a new hard drive and all went well.
The old configuration had a second disc that was the data drive. After getting XP Pro up and running on the "new" box, I attached the slave from the old box to the machine. The drive did not show up. I went to Disk Management, and it was there, but it said it was "FORIEGN". I right clicked and selected "Import Foriegn Disk". It then showed up in Disk Management.
However, in "My Computer", I can see it, but when I click or right click and OPEN, I get an instant ACCESS DENIED error. If I right click, there is no choice for "Sharing and Security", so I cannot take ownership.
I do have the PC set so the "simple file sharing" is UNCHECKED.
For some reason, I cannot get to the point where I can get to "Sharing and Security" for this drive.
Anyone have a clue? I know the data is still there, because in Disk Management, it correctly states the size of the drive used and the free space, but if I right click in My Computer and go to properties, it shows a full pie chart.
HELP!!!
Thanks
PS- Both the old and new boxes had WinXP Pro SP2 installed.
