Access denied on Iomega Network drive in Windows 2003 R2

[Guest Bruce Wallace]

We have an Iomega 250Gbyte network hard drive that was used to back up files

from a Windows 2000 server that has failed. This drive was available to all

users on our network. We have installed a new server running Windows 2003

Standard Edition 32 bit with no access controls specifically invoked. The

Iomega drive can be found and mapped in Windows Explorer but none of the

folders or files on it can be seen or accessed. Any attempt to create a new

folder, for instance, gives 'Access is Denied'. We have added now a second

(new) Iomega 250 Gbyte drive that gives the same result. These drives are

also now no longer accessible by other users on the network, whichever

version of Windows they are using. We have XP professional, 2000 and 98SE

users. The drives themselves do not have any way of setting access

permissions so there must be something in Windows 2003 server that is causing

this. What is it and how do we overcome it?
