Access is denied (stripped disk)
I am getting an access is denied error when attempting to access a stripped dynamic drive, can anyone please help as i would like to keep the info on it. After a graphics card burnout that necessitated a motherboard replacement (costly smoky and rather smelly) i have had to reinstall win2k.

I have managed to keep most of the data on drive c that is a basic fat disk containing the system but although i can see drive d in the file manager i cant access it.
When i try and get its properties it is reported as being 0 bytes.
When i look at it in the disk manager it correctly reports it as 1x 20 gb stripped dynamic healthy NTFS composed of 2 x 10 gb hdds that are said to be online and healthy.
I should probably say something about my hardware, i have a promice ultra DMA66 controller, but all apears to be working as the dynamic drives show up in the drive manager.
I would greatly apreciate any help so as i dont have to lose the data stored on these drives.
I have searched these forums and microsofts support site but have not found anything that helps so far.
Many thanks

Thanks for taking a look, dont i feel silly now i found out the problem.
For some reason when i reinstalled win2k the administrator did not have permission for that drive. i gave administrator permission and all was back to normal
