My original harddrive went dead. I replaced the harddrive
with a new one and loaded windows XP. I placed the bad
harddrive back into the machine as a slave. I am able to
see both harddrives in explorer, but I am unable to move
certain files from the old to the new HD. I get error
about permissions.
