How to take ownership of files in XP - need to access files from drive from different machine

[Angus Comber]

Hello

I have attached an NTFS formatted hard drive in my machine. (it won't
boot). I can see the files on the disk but cannot get access to My
Documents\ and other directories. I am logged in as Administrator on my
machine. How do I get access to the files? Can I take ownership like in
Windows NT & 2000?
