Hello

I put in a new boot drive and got all my dada copied over and everything works just fine. But my second hard drive (which I never did anything to and had uncabled while transfering my old boot to the new), and that I have all my data backed up to, well when I plugged it back after booting from the new drive and I go to click on it in my computer it says it cant access the disk that the file system is unknown. I never did anything to this drive and it was not a boot disk, just a basic disk formated as NTFS. I had this problem one other time, but I cannot remember what I did to fix it

I know all the data is still there because I ran r-studio NTFS and it all comes up. Theres about 8GB of it. What can I do to tell windows 2K pro that this disk is formatted as NTFS so that it will see the files and data again??? I mean my other drive is still c: and this drive is still f: so I dont know how it happened. Thanks a lo

Your account in this new installation has a different Security Identifier
(SID), and has no permissions even to access the disk. Take ownership of
the disk (Properties\Security\Advanced\Owner) and then apply correct
permissions.
