Win2000 can boot, but can't access boot drive - it's write-protected"?

[rherdman]

I am dual-booting my PC with NT 4 and Windows 2000 Professional. Each on are on their own hard drive. I have not problems booting under NT 4.

When I boot up under Windows 2000, I can boot up sucessfully with no errors. However, after startup I cannot read my boot drive. All is says is that it is write-protected. I have rebooted in safe mode and run CHKDSK /F and it cannot find any errors.

No matter what I do, I cannot access anyting on the drive, but I can boot off of the drive. Anyone have any ideas?

have you checked the secury for the drive?

Let me add one thing for clarity's sake - I had been using the PC under Windows 2000 without any problem for about five days. I did reboot several times in that period. I din't notice a problem until I rebooted and an application that was on this drive was no longer available.
