access denied for harddisk mounted from previous windows XP installation

I have mounted a harddisk which contains Window XP installation from another PC to my new Vista home premium PC. The harddisk has 2 partititions. It is mounted to my new PC as drive F & G. I can access F drive with no problem. But for G drive, even if I have boot the pc into safe mode and take ownership on the drive and each folder within this drive, I still got the access denied message when I boot the pc in normal mode again.

Any ideas what can I do to solve this problem.

Many thanks.

Hi k10d and welcome to the Vista forums.

Now that you have ownership over the partition, give all rights to everybody.
Hope it helps.

thanks, it works perfrect now
