    Hi,

    try with tool "takeown" that comes with Windows 2003.

    takeown /?

    takeown /f "d:\*"

    I would also double check that you are logged-in as administrator. You can
    even try to logon interactively (system).

    Is it possible that files that you can't access were encrypted?

    I hope this helps,

    Mike
