Your settings have probably changed and you have to "Take Ownership" of the drive again.
Here's how;

Unless I missed something, all that needs to be done is right click the drive, select "Properties", click the "Security" tab, click on "Advanced" click on "Owner" and change/modify the settings. The drive does not have to be open for that.

I did miss something, assuming ed5835 is using the Home Edition, so you're right cj, it does matter, thanks for catching that, I forgot all about it and I just posted a reply a few days ago for someone else how to get the "Security Tab" in XP Home.
To get the "Security Tab" in XP Home
First, your hard drive must be formatted NTFS for this tab to show up.
Second, if you're running XP Pro, you must open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck Use Simple File Sharing.
Third, if you're running XP Home, Simple File Sharing is enforced by default and cannot be disabled. You must boot the computer into Safe Mode and log in with the Administrator account, in order to see the Security tab. A work around for XP Home, so that you don't have to enter Safe Mode, can be found at, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=245216
Instructions: Download the x86 (Intel) version of the Security Configuration Manager and save it to your hard disk. Double click the SCESP4I.EXE file you downloaded and extract the contents to a temporary location on your hard disk. Then open the folder you extracted the files to and locate the Setup.inf (Setup Information) file. Right click Setup.inf and select Install. After the installation is finished, reboot your computer.
