2nd SATA drive recognized, but not accessible Closed

Question

I just got a new HP with Win7. I added a SATA HD from my old computer (that was running XP). The 2nd drive is recognized as E:, and I can see all the files on it.

But when I try to open most files, I get an error saying I don't have permission to open the file, and the instruction to contact the owner or administrator to change permissions.

If I try to copy/move some files from the old drive to the new drive, I'll get a similar error.

I installed an application and tried to access data on the old drive and, again, I get an error that the file cannot be opened, "Cause: Access permission denied. File may be marked Read only or locked (13)"

I'm stumped.


Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 10.0.2
