I had similar problems switching an external drive between two computers, one with XP and the other with Vista. I had to do similar to above but instead of taking ownership I changed the security settings to basically let anybody to anything on the drive, otherwise Vista kept moaning all the time and producing endless pop up boxes saying permission denied etc. (I hate Vista).
