I had a similar problem:
A tech from work advised me to connect the drive to a machine with XP
Pro as Vista or XP home edition was guaranteed not to be able to do what
I needed. I hooked up the disk drive to an XP Pro machine. This
allowed me to turn off a parameter in the security tab which then
allowed me to go to Properties, choose security. I gave that account
full priveleges to the drive. I then reselected Properties and went to
the Owner tab and I then set the Administrtaor account to be the Owner
with full priveleges. I then added an account Everyone and gave it full
access to the drive. The account settings were reset by XP Pro and now
I have full access to the drive.
I bought a second drive and have an off site backup arrangement that
will be rotated monthly.
Hellelujah and I really struggle with Vista Home edition not being able
to reset the owner property for me.
