Moving files and security permissions, when you don't have permission

Hi all,
I have a shared folder with about 30GB of data which I need to move to
another disk in the same server.

Most of the files/folders I don't have permissions for, i.e. Domain
admins isn't in the list when viewing the security tab, and is most
definitely not the owner on most files.

I know I can use Xcopy to move files and for them to keep their
security, but without permissions for even the domain admin to access
the file can I still use it?

How can I move the files/folders as domain admin and still retain the
file permissions. The only way I can see so far is to reset the owner
and all permissions and then copy, but this means all the previous
permissions are lost.

Any suggestions please???

.
