windows xp XP Pro Master and XP Home Slave - can't see all the files on slave

[News Bot]

Hi All,

 

I had an old Dell Dimension that died, which was running XP Home; so I removed the old hard drive and installed it as a "slave" drive in a second Dell Dimension running XP Pro. The XP Pro system recognized and installed the old XP Home hard drive as a

slave without any problems. I can see a wide variety of directories and files on the slave drive (even Windows and Program directories); however, I can't see the "Documents and Settings" from the old system. And of course, that is where all the data I want

to access resides. When I look at both drives under "my computer" (XP Pro System), the drive(s) "total size" and "free space" looks correct; so, it appears the data is there. I just can't get to it. 

 

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated, thank you,

 

Reed
