Hi Scott,
What you need to do here is to take ownership of the files & Folders on the older drive.
Refer the link below and follow the steps under " How to take ownership of the Folder".

Do ensure you need to be logged in as an Administrator on the new Laptop to do the same.
Hope this helps.
Wireless..:)

sometimes the command console is more lenient when it comes to permissions. booting up in DOS/recovery console may do better if cmd fails. Sometimes a linux OS can access drives easier
