Can't access some files on previous SCSI boot disk

    Hmm...found this one a little odd.

    I've recently replaced my boot drive (a previous 10K SCSI) with an Ultra 100 (only because I needed the drive in a hurry).

    Seems I can access all file types (for what I've tested so far), but not executables on the SCSI. I get the message, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them. "

    I am set up as an Administrator on this XP SP2 box.

    My biggest issue at this point is not being able to move a lot of the files off to my new drive.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,
    Marc
