Can I externally attach an old XP hard drive to my Vista laptop?

Think I'm finally there - I had permission as administrator but not as user, so I changed that. Now it's slowly going through each file in the folder changing the security settings - I can see the file names so I think it's likely to work now.

Click Advanced on the security dialog and check "Replace permission on all child objects" or whatever the wording is.
