I restored an old Vista C: drive backup image to a new disk under Windows 7. How do I set permissions so I can browse files and directories, and delete at will on the added drive? Whenever I try to add full control privileges I get an "access denied" error for each object in the directory tree.

Replace <path>
with the actual path to your files (for example, C:\
