Folder ownership..how to change.

[harsaphes]

Hey all. Friend gave me his laptop which is dead to try and remove the contents of the drive. Drive says I dont have permission. When I go to properties and change ownership, it begins to change then I get an error message about I dont have permisson to do that. Any ideas?
thanks
Actually says..error occurred access denied.

i usually just let windows take care of that.

For W7 or Vista this Take Ownership tool is the way to go.
