I have a similar problem with XP Pro. I have a second hard drive which was
partioned and was set up so only the administrator(myself) and one other
profile could access it. After I did a clean install (format c:) the
administrator gets an "access denied" message but it can be accessed with the
other profile. I honestly can't remember how I did this previously. I do
remember on the previous install when I would right click on the drive under
sharing and security there would be a security tab which is no longer there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
