Permissions on existing drives after install

I did search around but could not find a close question. With Vista 64 bit,
installed to 2nd of 3 partitions on first sata drive. I also have a second
sata drive all one partition, an IDE drive one partition, and a usb drive
with one paritition. All are NTFS. All where accesseable and had permissions
with a copy of XP with the user group of PCname\Administrators having full
rights. Now I installed Vista64 and my user is in the Administrators group.
Vista works fine and can access the first sata drive with 3 partitions and
all partitions work. The 2nd sata drive say not accessable. The IDE says not
accessable and the USB drive works fine. I was able to fix by adding my user
with full rights to both non-working drives. BUT, my question is why did I
have to do that when this user is a member of the PCname\Administrators group
in Vista. While typing this I noticed that the 2 non-working drives do not
have the PCname\Users group in the list. But again, why would it need to be?

Thanks for the time and effort!
