Subinacl and changing ownership of a folder

Hello,So here is my situation...I just bought a new computer, so i had to reinstall Windows XP on a brand new HD.I still have my old HD, so i plugged into my computer. Now i'm trying to access "Documents and Settings" folder so i can copy my Utorrent and Firefox config.But when i try to access the folder it says Access DeniedThe folder i want to access is:J:Documents and SettingsAdministrateurDoing some research on google, i found out that i can get access to the folder using the tool "Subinacl".... I downloaded but i dont understand how it worksCould someone please guide me how i can use subinacl to unlock folder "J:Documents and SettingsAdministrateur"Thanks

My advice: don't use the command prompt. Use the GUI.

Boot into Safe Mode. Find the folder in Explorer. Right click>Properties and you'll see the security tab. On that tab you can take ownership.
