Fresh installation of ESX 4 and now can't add ESX 3.5 storage with VM's still on it

I recently purchased a new machine and performed a fresh installation

of ESXi4 (from ESXi 3.5). The installation worked great and am able to

view everything correctly. When I go to add the 1TB storage drive (like

I previously did in 3.5) it errors out stating "Cannot change the host

configuration". This drive has all of my virtual machines and I

seriously do not want to loose these machines. I tried mounting the

drive using both "Keep the existing signature" and "Assign a new

signature" and it fails out both times. Is there anything that I would

need to change in order to get this drive mounted and able to access

the VM's on there? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
