USB-connected external hard drive = Drive not accessible. Incorrect function

Tying to retrieve data from a good hard drive with a corrupt Windows ME OS.  Upon connecting the drive to another computer (two separate tries) via USB to WinXP (Home), the drive is recognized and registers in My Computer as a local drive.  When attempting to access the drive, the message "Drive G:\ Not accessible.  Not correct function" appears.  Drive "Properties" are available and appear normal, with the exception of both "Used space" and "Free space" - each show as "0" bytes.  The drive has about 8GB free space when accessed in DOS.
