Windows 7 file access issues

[bhsgk]

hello. i am using windows 7 build 7100 and i am having some file access issues. i had an old dell laptop that i pulled the hard drive out of to get some files off of it. but to get to my documents on the old hdd that was using win xp sp1 i think, i had to take ownership of the hdd. but since then i have not been able to access my documents on the windows 7 computer. i have already looked at all of the settings under properties-security and they are all set to let the admin access all files as usual. any help would be greatly appreciated
