Access Denied to files on Slave Drive

M

Matt

My XP crashed due to a bad update to my ISP software.
Couldn;t afford to lose the data on my c: drive. Added a
new c: drive and slaved my old hard drive. Now I'm
getting access denied on directories on the slave drive.
Of course it's the directories that contain the files
that I can;t afford to lose. Help! How do I access
these directories? Thank you.

This article describes how to take ownership of a file or folder
(non-encrypted) to which you have been denied access:

Still need help!

The directories / files on the slave drive were marked
as "private" when the drive was the master. Now that the
OS crashed on that drive, I can't access those files.

Any ideas? Thank you.
