Windows 7 is holding my music hostage [Solved - lock please]

I had to replace my main hard drive a month or so ago and so had to install Windows 7 again. All of my music and pictures and stuff were on my backup drive so I didn't lose anything. However, as I discovered yesterday, none of the music on my backup drive "belongs" to me according to Windows and things like iTunes and WMP won't play them.

Now, I see I can go to each individual song and add the rights back for this user, but I have over 2000 mp3s and it would take for fucking ever to click on each individual song like that. Can anyone suggest a way to speed up this process? I already took ownership of my 140 folders but I really don't want to have to do that again.
