Access Denied!!!

[DannerSwa]

I just bought a new motherboard installed it and set up Windows XP Pro
on a new drive keeping my old one as a slave. For some reason when I
try to access one of the folders on the old drive, it gives me an
"Access Denied" Prompt; however, I can access the other folders on the
drive finr. I think it has something to do with my security settings on
the old operating system on that drive, but I'm not sure. Can anybody
help?
