Cannot read NTFS data drive moved from Win 2K Server SP4 to Win 2K

[Guest]

Please help.
From my Windows 2000 SP4 Server, I did copy to move 100G data from RAID-5
SCSI drive (Dynamic drive with NTFS format) to a 250G IDE drive (Basic drive
with NTFS format). And then I attached that 250G IDE drive to my Windows 2000
SP4 Professional workstation as secondary master. Windows 2000 SP4
Professional Disk Management can see a healthy partition on that 250G IDE
drive but cannot see file system nor data at all. If I browse that 250G IDE
drive from Windows Explorer, I will get message like "The disk in drive D is
not formatted. Do you want to format it now?". I have tried this twice from
the same server to different workstations, the results are the same. All
three machines (one server and two workstations) are using Intel P4
motherboard with latest BIOS updated and all three machines can recoganize
250G IDE drive without problem.

Boot your machine with a Win98 boot disk (www.bootdisk.com),
then run ptedit.exe (ftp://ftp.powerquest.com/pub/utilities/) to compare
the boot sector of your primary master with the boot sector of your
secondary master. The comparison might reveal some interesting
differences, e.g. the type of partition you have.

Hi - someone replied to your identical post in file_system. Please don't
multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost
instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups
(separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.
Thanks
