^^ Nope. If you have NTFS parition, then you can restrict a folder with other users. Thats it. ;)

Yep. You can restrict any user to access any drive/file in NTFS partitions. Enter in Properties and then you can do the thing in "Security" tab. Make sure that "Simple File Sharing" is disabled in "Folder Options", otherwise "Security" tab will not be visible. ;)

^^ Seems you don't have sufficient permissions on that folder. Use following method:

Add Take Ownership Option in File / Folder Context Menu in Windows Vista
