Running winxp home on my new system.
Prim Master = Raptor
Prim Slave = Maxtor SATA.
Later I added my IDE drive from my old system just to access some files.
PROBLEM: My old IDE was the Master on my old system, so it still has everything on it. I had an administrator login/password set up + 2 quest accounts (XP home). The files I need are in "My Documents" of the administrator account and it denies me permission! I tried rebooting in safemode and changing the permission for the IDE Drive, but no luck. Any Advice? Thanks,

Bryan

Try changing the Ownership of the directory (after you login as the new local administrator).

You mean the "my documents" folder? Also, on the new system there is no password, only one login with admin. rights. Do I need to do this in Safe Mode?
