I run XP Home on my pc. I did a restore point and later tried to go back. this is when the issues started. after trying to restore the HD wouldn't reboot. So in stead of screwing around I bought a new HD and installed it making the old 80 gig the slave. However... when I try to access any files on the slave it says "Access is denied" how do I solve this issue?
Any help from you gurues would make my day!!!
Thanks in advance.

Jump to Postdo you care about the files in the old hd? if you don't need those then go ahead and reformat the drive using windows.
right click on it and then click formatif you do need the files in the old hard drive, then give yourself permission to access …
Jump to Postsomething tells me that you won't be able to change permissions in home version of windows, anyway do you see security tab in properties of the disk?
