XP permissions to folders

[jnieml]

Hi,

My hard drive is in three partitions (c, d and e). I replaced Win 2k b
installing WinXP pro to c-drive and left d and e-drives untouched.

Two folders in the d-drive has administrator-only-persmissions, an
now, after installing XP Pro, I don´t have anymore permissions to thos
folders, which have permissions only to admin, althoug I am still th
admin in XP. What to do

More info:

Win2k was english version, and Win XP is finnish version. Can I gai
access to those folders, if I install W2K back to my harddrive an
after that, share those folders to every user in the computer -
install XP Pro again -> I have the persmissions to those folders?
have pretty important files in those folders, so I´d like to gai
access to them in some way. Thanks in advance!:

// Perhaps my english (and therefore the description) weren´t the bes
ones, I found a message concerning the same problem, in other words:

Hi,

I used to run win2k and on my harddisk. I created a second partitio
(ntfs). On that second partition I used access restriction. Only use
Administrator had full access and other users had no access.
For some reasons I had to install Win XP. But now I have no access t
that partition anymore. I can't see any directories (error: no access)
When I boot into Recovery Console I can see all the directories of tha
partition but I can't cd to one of them.
How can I get access to that partition.
Please help...
