Help - I backed up my stuff to an NTFS partition and formatted

[Jmmsbnd007]

Cliffs:
Backed up a ton of stuff to a seperate hard drive that's one giant NTFS partition. (Was on Win2k)
It was set up to deny everyone except the Administrator account any kind of access at all.

I'm an idiot and forgot to disable that when I formatted. Now I'm on XP, and I get access denied when I try and get into the drive. Anything I can do?!

Ugh, I don't have a security tab, maybe because it's an entire drive, not just a folder? 🙁(
I tried fooling around in Administrator Tools\Computer Management but I couldn't really find anything. Close but I'm only 90% 🙁

You need to have simple file sharing disabled.

You need to read the first KB article VERY carefully. It does explain the requirements to see the Security Tab:

XP Home only in "Safe" Mode
XP Professional only with "Simple File Sharing" disabled.

It's easy to miss these things.
