  Subject: TSGL: Hard drive ownership problem


  Hey all,

                  I've got a 300GB hard drive with ownership problems, I
  originally had the drive in my old computer and then put it in my server.
  The old computer has died since then.



  Whenever I go to view ANY folder on the drive I'm not allowed, even when
  logged onto the server, I have to go into ownership change it to myself
  close that window, reopen it, then allow myself access.



  That's a VERY tedious process, especially with hundreds of folders and
  files. I tried changing ownership and permission to the drive itself, it
  opened some of the folder but a large majority are still inaccessible.



  Anyone know of any software that can change all of them FAST?



  TIA

  Thanks
