After migration to Windows 2003 can't access some files

[gicio]

We set up here a new windows 2003 server (without ANY problems ;) ).
we put in this server a hard disk from a windows 2000 server (the drive has data on it).
now we have the problem that we can't access some data on this hard drive.
(we have administration rights on this server).

but some files are ok...and we can access it.

on this files that we can't access we can't also see under properties the security tab!?!?


can someone tell me how to access this data?


regards,

I was under the impression that you had to reformat your hard disk between 2000 and 2003. :confused: However, I may be mistaken.

There could be several issues here. Are both your 2k3 server and your previous 2k server NTFS partitions?

Also, if you can access the folders that should have the data in, check the security. You may need to take ownership as your new admin account and profligate those permissions to all the child objects.

Good Luck. Let us know how it goes for you or if I can be of more help.
