Unable to Access Disk

My OS drive died, I installed a new HD with windows 2003, when I reconnected the SATA drive it was unaccessable and listed as foreign. I used disk management to import the foreign drive. It now displays, but I'm unable to access it. When I look at it in disk management it says it's a simple volume an is green or brown in color - Not the usual blue. Is there a step I'm missing? Do I have to mount it or something? Thanks

Yes I've assigned it a drive letter, when I try to change the permissions/take ownership I get an access denied message. Let me know if you have any ideas, thanks for the help...
If it means any thing, The data is there. If I right click the volume, choose tools, backup I'm able to browse the file structure as well I can see individual files.
Thanks

You have to be logged in as admin and then at the root of the drive take ownership with the check box for all subfolders checked.
