You need to take ownership of the folder. Right click and go to security and play around with the settings there.

> its not letting me
It's is windows, the least secure pile of junk in the universe, how hard can it be?
Be sure you turn off simple sharing (or whatever they call it), otherwise you won't get the 'advanced' options that allow you to take ownership of files that you don't own. Security through obscurity, gotta love Microsoft crap.
(I'm not at a windows machine, so I can't tell you exactly how to do it. From memory, so this isn't exact... click my computer, from the menu, tools, folder options, view tab, about half way down allow yourself to view hidden folders, below that allow yourself to view file system protected files, and then all the way at the bottom, get rid of simple sharing.)
Now, go to "old drive":\documents and settings\"user name", right click on the users folder, select properties, and there should be a security tab. On the security tab, there is an advanced button, and on that page is an owner tab, and on that page is the option to take ownership of files and folders. Be sure you apply to children objects as well. Should take a long time as it cycles through all the files and folders below that point.
