I have the same problem - I had a secondary internal HDD with very useful data from my previous computer (Win 2000) that I had given restricted access to the Adminstrator (myself) as the comp. was accessed by others as well.
I got a new laptop (Win XP, SP2) and I got an external USB hard drive enclosure for this HDD and I tried the above - except that I don't want to format or partition my HDD as I have very valuable data in it.
It does not work.
Is there a way around without formatting it?
I see the disk in the device manager, but cannot access it - Message is "G:\ is not accessible. Access is Denied".
Please help. (I first used my friend's external USB hard drive enclosure kit with my new laptop, it did not work and I went and bought a new USB hard drive enclosure kit - Adaptec, but still the same problem.)
My jumper is on Master and I also tried assigning a new drive letter manually, but of no avail.
