Folder and File ownership not accepted

Hi. I added and external hard drive to my new laptop after my laptop boke. I had no special ownership added to the external drive with my old laptop. I just plugged it in and used it. Now in my new laptop some folders and files behave normally but others
say that i dont have permission to view these. I tried many things to get permission on the external hard drive and I also tried on on individual files. I can sometime fet a folder to show its content but the files are not allowing me access. I got access
by changing secueity ownership to Everyone. But i can not go on for hundreds if pictures.

Please help. I will need ti leave soon but will cin bac to read and try your suggestions. Thank you.

file permissions/ownership troubles

a while back my main user account got corrupted somehow and the only way to get to my files was to take ownership of them in my other admin account. but now i'm stuck with having to retake ownership of these files every time i try to access it from another computer or user account, which makes sharing multimedia to my xbox 360 impossible. is there a way to just remove all of these permission settings back to normal? its REALLY getting frustrating with the access denied crap, its even interfering with some .msi install files. *Mad *Cry :cry:

this also puts my new computer build on hold since i need to transfer the files but i'm stuck with the ownership crap

edit: btw its on windows xp pro sp3
