My Windows 2000 PC was acting up so I thought it was time for a reformat, but I decided to kick the bucket and just go with XP this time. Installation went well, got service pack 2 and the latest updates install, and everything seemed fine until I checked My Computer. My second hard drive is detected, but is unaccessible. I wasn't worried because this happened everytime I reformatted Windows 2000, and in Windows 2000 I'd just right click and delete the old access restrictions, but to my surprise... this isn't an option in XP. If worse comes to worse, I can swap the drive into my other 2000 system and transfer everything over the network but I'd prefer not to. Any ideas?

I figured it out. Simple Filesharing was the culprit. Thanks to anyone who atleast thought about helping.
 
...yes.

OK it's your choice:
You can have the boat, or you can have the Mystery Box!
...Hey wait a minute! A boat's a boat, but a Mystery Box could be anything. It could even be a boat
