I have 2 harddrives (C: = 80gigs & D: = 160gigs)
I was using windows XP Pro, i backed up stuff from my c: drive (settings/docs/etc..) to my D: drive (D:\C Drive\ to be exact) and formated C: and installed windows 2000 pro (deleted xp, put on 2k)... when i get in win2k i attempt to access "D:\C Drive" and i get a message: "D:\C Drive is not accessible, Access is denied." However i can access any other dir on the D: drive.. i cant change ownership of the file, i cant change flags, i cant do anything.. does anyone know whats going on? and btw i am Admin.

... also i pulled out the HD and stuck it in my other winxp box and it gets the same error, wtf is going on here? just 6 hours before i was copying files to and from this drive with no problem!
btw (i dont know if this matters but..) when i was using xp D:\ was E:\ but when i installed win2k E:\ Became D:\..

Any help would be awsome! thx allot!
