unable to open files after moving to different server

Hello All,
we had a 5-yr old W2003 STD file & print server that crashed on Thursday; after not being able to boot up I moved the files to a different server. The problem is that my 35+ users cannot access some or their files, when trying to open them the error: "The set of folders could not be opened. File Access Denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file: "Share\Filename".
I am a member of the administrators group and cannot access the files.

Help please!

OK I did that and I can see the files (I could not before) but I still can't open them. do I need to do anything else?
 
Thank you,

Did you set permissions after taking ownership?

You may have to do this for every subfolder...
