Is there a fix or some way to get around the XP block that won't recognize
the info on my slave hard drive after reinstalling xp? The info is on the
drive, but windows won't let me access it.

I tried the steps under the "How to take ownership" link you provided, and
everything appeared to work correctly. All the permissions were changed.
However when I rebooted and tried to access the files in my slave hard drive,
nothing appeared. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
