My friend used to bring over his HD and i would popit in.. and blam it would pick it up and I could copy his files..

Was that drive encripted on a NTFS partition?

 

Are you Admin? (I mean.. Administrator, not one of the Admin users)

 

 

Try going into Disk Management (Control Pannel > Admin Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management) and import the old drive....

aww dude that suX... my HD just blew, so now I'm down to 100GB :-\ It's the most irritating thing. I was getting delayed write failed messages, and then used the maxtor diag tool and it said my HD was broke...

 

Anyways, make sure the HD is NTFS. Also, if you go to Start->Setting->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Manager? Make sure your HD is not listed as anything like a "Dynamic Disk" That can screw you up... Also, if you have a motherboard that has a RAID controller, it is possible that when you hook your HD up to one of the ATA100/133 channels, your computer may not recognize it... try installing RAID drivers if your mobo came with them... I know it's not a RAID system or anything, but it's just an idea... I had a problem kinda like that once...

 

Oh yeah, also just for kicks, if you did that XP services speed up guide, you will need to turn Logical Disk manager or somehting like that back in under services
