i just bought a new hard drive and i am using it my master with windows on it. Is the any way to get past the Access denied thing it pops up when i try to open the file in documents and settings?
Using your administrative account, right click on the users's folder and select properties. Open the security tab and add "administrators" or your user name to the list at the top of the window.
If there is no security tab, open the folder options from the tools menu, scroll to the bottom of the list and uncheck simple file sharing.

Uh oh! Looks like someone made thier files private!
You can't get past your own encryption, nor can you get past your own password if the files are located on a slave drive.
The only exception is if you enable encryption on a Domain, the master stores the encryption code in the instance that one of the PC fails. That is mostly the only way encrypted files can be "restored" if you will.
ANYWAY! If you can find a way to "de-slave" your.......erm......slave drive then all you have to do is log back in and remove the existing password and encryption. If windows XP tells you the files are encrypted by another source in the properties window, click the lower link that appears, this will allow you to remove the "private" settings on the folder.
Or if all else fails, you could see if any Linux Guru's with some FLAK tools can bypass the encryption. I know that is considered hacking, but hey, it *is* your drive
