I recently installed a new hard drive, reloaded XP Home, including SP2,
and all other software and then reinstalled my old drive for additional
storage space. I was able to delete most of the stuff on the old drive, but
when I tried to move my files from "Documents and Settings" on the old drive
to the new one, I was not allowed access. I've tried resetting attributes to
the needed directories to no avail... what next?
