Resetting permissions on external drive

[DarkTXKnight]

Hey there, Ive got a user who's external disk controller has died and Ive hooked up the drive to my box. He removed everyone but himself on the local security for the drive on his windows XP box and therefore when I try to hok up the drive to my box and copy the data to another disk, I get access denied on several files. I remember that there was somethign for NT like fixACLs that you could use to reset the permissions... does anyone remember how to do this is XP????
Thanks!!!

You should be able to take ownership of all of them and reset the permissions without any special tools.

thats what i thought too, but there are still some files that i get access denied on when i try to take ownership
