Default 2 boots drives, want one.

I had a 320 Gig Vista as master drive. This drive started to give me grief. I
installed a 1TB drive with one 250G partition and was able to install Vista
on it. As it is, I can boot eitehr one by halting Bios and changing the boot
drive there (a rather cumbersome means).

I want to get files off the older 320G drive, but I can't get past "USERS"
folder. Vista 1Tb green progress bar runs across the top in Computer when I
try to open USERS on the old drive and keeps glwoing stuck at the red X.

Without draging USERS into the Public folder, how do i get past the "You
don't have permission" - paranoid security prompt?

And, while I'm akt it, how do I disable those "Windows needs your
permission" prompts? I fogot how.

TA.

Take ownership of the folders on the 320GB drive.. Then you will be able to
do what you want.
