Taking ownership of files

My roommates hard drive finally took a dive after several years. It won't boot into windows anymore and he wants to pull some files off before formatting it. We hooked it up as a secondary drive and after playing with jumper settings (this drive has some wild jumper configurations) we finally get windows to see it. After playing with ownership options, we can browse the contents and see what's there, but nothing will open. We can't copy any files from it, rename, etc...
I'm running win7 ultimate. Anyone know how to take ownership of his old drive? I thought we were close after playing a lot with the permissions but alas it told us to screw off when trying to open some documents and images. Or maybe booting to another OS like *nix to take ownership, but I know very little outside windows.
