My Power supply went south taking my CD drive, Hard drive, and floppy drive with it. My Secondary drive survived. I used the primary drive from my other "Identical" computer and simply did a "plug-N-play" in my current system. In other words I did not format and reinstall everything on the primary drive, I just plugged in the hard drive and started using it as my primary drive.

Now every time I download an application and try to launch it from the secondary drive, it says that it's corrupted or has missing files. When I copy that same application to my primary drive it launches with no problems.

This is all leading up to my main problem.

Whenever I delete or move a file from my secondary drive, the process seems to work fine, but when I reboot the computer, the files are back again! Everything on the secondary drive is "read only" and I am unable to Uncheck it. (Actually I can uncheck it, but every time I do uncheck it and close the dialog box, I then recheck the properties and "read only" is checked again!). It may always have been read only for all I know but I never had a problem before I put in the new primary drive.

I have all admin rights and I've searched this forum and found similar problems but no solutions.

Any Ideas?
