I just moved a drive with 2 NTFS partitions in it from one win2k machine to
another win2k machine and installed win2k pro into one of the existing blank
NTFS partitions.

Now when I go to access the data in the other NTFS drive (despite having the
same user name and password), I cannot access all the folders inside which
did have the old user name's permissions on it.

I did remove the permissions from the drive and set them to my new user
name, but am unable to get into some folders inside which still have the old
permissions. I know I can take ownership of the files, but as there are too
many of them, I would rather choose some option to apply to all files and
folders inside - is this possible? Or am I going to have to spend the next
fortnight taking ownership of each file and folder in the partition?!

TIA
