Hello,

I have 2 Drives:

Drive C (Master) : Where I installed XP. Boots off this drive
Drive D (Slave): Drive where I store pictures, documents etc....

Now that I've installed XP I can longer access folders in Drive D.
I keep getting the error: Access is denied

I'm logged in as the Admin and I keep getting these errors.

I right-clicked -> Clicked Properties but I don't see a Permissions TAB like
in Windows2000. How can I enable this Tab?

Why am I getting Access denied errors?

Any help would be so much appreciated.

Thanks,
