I set a the permissions to a external firewire hard drive I have to
only allow access to it from my account. Last week I reinstalled
Windows XP and I now get 'Access Denied' errors when I try and access
this drive. The login and password are exactly the same. There is alot
of data I need to get to on this drive so just reformating it is not a
option. Does anyone know how I can regain access to this drive?

Thanks.
