Log in as an ID with administrator privileges, right-click on the folder or
drive, select Properties, Security, Advanced, Owner.

I would want to know how the server was upgraded. Usually I would recommend
upgrading the NT PDC to Windows 2000 in place. If the PDC was removed and
replaced with a brand new Windows 2000 server that was not previously joined
to the domain, then all the permissions would be pointing to SIDs that no
longer exist in the new Windows 2000 domain. As you may know, permissions
have nothing at all to do with the name of the user ID and everything to do
with the hidden SID of the user.
