I have a slight problem, A customer brought in a compaq laptop which he had dropped and distroyed the motherboard due to inpact, He is not going to invest in a new board but he wanted his documents copied to a cd, this is ok because I can slave his hard drive to my pc and pull his docs.

problem is, OS winxp with ntfs and he had set the file permissions to private
I can not access them , I even tried setting a his user account and password he used on his drive.. anyone know how to reset this folders attributes?
