Hi all...
I have a problem with data that I placed on a HDD with W2K pro.
I placed data on a HDD with W2K. I then moved the HDD to my XP box. XP see
the data but all the folder and file names are in green and the attributes
are read only. I treid to change the attributes but this does not solve the
problem.
The error when I try to open files is can not acces read only document and

I have installed sp1a on XP.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Go to disk management and see what it says about the disk. Check event
viewer see if an error message is there then do a google search on the
error message.

go to the root directory of the drive go to properties and take ownership of
the drive and all subdirectories!
