Commandline tool for drive ownership

Thanks to recent responses, I was able to use xcacls.exe and psexec.exe to reset permissions on drives remotely. These are machines in a non-AD domain, running XP pro. However, on a few of the machines, the "Owner" of a drive is a non-existant GUID Is there a command line programme which can take ownership of a drive xcacls will not allow me to change the ACL of these drives, since I am not owner (though I am an administrator) chown.exe will work on files and folders, but not drives. Computer management will allow me to get drive properties only for local machines. Can anyone suggest a utility, or an XP API call which will allow me to run a script to take ownership? Basically, a command-line equivalent of the "Take Ownership" function in Advanced Drive Properties. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
