Any ideas on how to access info on a 2nd hard drive after reinstalling
windows xp? The files are there, I just can't access them. The previous
help received did not accomplish this, please see below. Thanks.


I tried the steps under the "How to take ownership" link you provided, and
everything appeared to work correctly. All the permissions were changed.
However when I rebooted and tried to access the files in my slave hard drive,
nothing appeared. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Did you change the NTFS security after taking ownership?
You hadn't been using EFS, had you?
 
You may need to import the foreign NTFS disk.

In Computer Management goto disk management and import the disk if it shows
as foreign.
