Moving a Hard Drive from 2K to Vista

Hello;

I have a new machine on the way that is running vista business. I need to
physically move 2 windows 2000 small business server EIDE drives into the new
machine. I have removed security restrictions on the drives and given full
access on the drives to "everyone". I will probably want to "take ownership"
of the drives when they get moved but is there anything else that I am
missing? Anyone else do this and can show me the pitfalls?

Thanks in advance.

You probably didn't have to make even the changes that you did make to the
drives. By default, the Administrators group is given full control of the
root of a drive. With that, you can access anything, although you might
have to take ownership of and change permissions for some subfolders.
(There are lots of caveats but, in general, as long as you don't deny
Administrators access to a drive, you'll be okay.)
