win xp permissions issues.

ive just installed win xp pro on my machine. i have 4
drives.C,D,E and F. win xp pro is on C. for some reason i am
getting 'drive not accessable' whenever i try to open my E
and F drives.

on win2k i could just right click and give myself
permissions in the properties, but i dont seem to have this
option in win xp pro.

anyone got any ideas? all my files are in these two drives.

im logged in as administrator.

hello administrator. Here's a hint. If you took all the DNA
in your body and
laid it end to end it would streatch from the earth to the
sun more than 4 times!

You should of copied all that good stuff to cd or dvd before
you formatted the drive and installed xp. What OS was on
the drive before you reinstalled.
