NTFS Access is Denied

by koryz2006 . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

Primary system drive C: (WinXP Pro) had NTFS partitioning as well as drive G: (external firewire 160GB Maxtor)

C: became corrupt and WinXP Pro “clean” reinstalled using FAT32

My Documents folder that resided on drive G: is now receiving error message:

“G:\My Documents is not accessible.”

“Access is Denied”

Properties of folder state Size 0 bytes, 0 Files/0 Folders

Contents of G: Drive show approx 35GB unaccounted for that used to be in this folder.

I desperatly need accessto this folder and its contents. Is there any way to gain access. I am logged in with administrator privilages and know my passwords but double clicking the folder results in the same error message. Right-clicking has the “make folder private” button deselected and not a live option (grayed out). Do I need third-party software to access this?

All other files/folders directly under G: root directory are accessible except this folder.
