I understand ....you denied access to everyone and granted access to one
individual. However, denies take precedent.
If you cannot take ownership of this directory logged on as the
administrator, there may not be an option other than deleting the partition
because you cannot delete the folder either.
This may help.
o Modify Special Permissions
-----------------------------
If you need finer control over permissions, you can modify special
permissions. In this example, assume that you have shared a folder and have
granted access to groups A and B. However, you do not want group A to
create folders in the shared folder. You can deny the special Create
Folders/Append Data permission to the Write permissions for group A. To
modify special permissions:
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, click Windows
Explorer, and then locate the file or folder for which you want to set
permissions.
2. Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the
Security tab.
3. Click Advanced, and then use one of the following steps:
- To set special permissions for a new group or user, click Add. In the
Name box, type the name of the user or group by using the
<domainname>\<name> format. When you are finished, click OK to
automatically open the Permission Entry dialog box.
- To view or change special permissions for an existing group or user,
click the name of the group or user, and then click View/Edit.
- To remove a group or user and its special permissions, click the name of
the group or user, and then click Remove. If the Remove button is
unavailable, click to clear the "Allow inheritable permissions" check box.
The file or folder will no longer inherit permissions. Skip steps 4 through
6.
4. In the Permission Entry dialog box, click where you want the
permissions applied in "Apply onto", if necessary. Note that Apply onto
is available only for folders.
5. In Permissions, click Allow or Deny for each permission.
6. If you want the subfolders and files in the tree to inherit these
permissions, click to select the "Apply these permissions" check box.
If the check boxes under "Permissions" are unavailable, or if the Remove
button is unavailable, the file or folder has inherited permissions from
the parent folder.
......
Click on the Owner Tab in Advanced and see if you can change the owner.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.
I have 2 HD w/ 7 partitions. 1 of the partitions does not
have an OS, it's only used to store data. On 1 of the
partitions I have a folder wich I denied access to
everyone except 1 user I created wich had full control.
It worked fine until I had to format the partition with
W2K (OS) on it, not thinking it would get rid of
the "special user". I since re-installed W2K pro, but I
cannot access, delete ect... the folder. I can see the
owner and it's the SID of the "special user" for the old
installation. I cannot add new users to the folder, nor
can I take ownership. I created another user with the same
name, however the SID of that user does not match the SID
of the old user......any suggestions, anything helps...

Denied access means just that....Everyone is denied access including the
administrators. You do not want to deny Everyone.
If the Denied Access is on the root of the drive, you need to place another
drive in the machine, install on the new drive, then take ownership of the
old drive and remove the Deny Everyone.

I created a user and give him adim rights to a folder. I
denied everyone access and take ownership to that folder
(including administrators group/user). I have since
formated the partition with W2K (including the specific
user) and re-installed W2K. I am now unable to access,
take over ownership, delete the folder in questions. I am
able to see the owner and the security properties and
thats it.
The owner looks like a SID number (probably the old owners
SID). Any suggestions on how to get that 4 gig folder of
my partition???
