in propreties of the harddrive, go to security and give your self permission to access data.

Can you stick the drive in another machine(running XP) as a slave.

Is the drive connected to a jmicron ide controller on the mobo (if it is a newer socket 775 Intel board) and is vista recognizing the controller ???

i use to have this problem a lot when swapping hd,s in caddies,all i could do was recover the hd with some thing like
R-Studio then format the drive and put the material back on the drive....i have given up on ide caddies!
