Hard drive crashed and now 'My Documents' reports 'access denied '.

My drived by 'C' crashed. I replaced the trive and install a new copy of XP pro on a new drive. I plugged the old drive as slave and when I go to the 'Documents and Settings' area I am able to open most of all files except thoes in "Documents and Settings/username / My Documents". This directory and several others in the 'Documents and Settings' box report "Access denied" when I try to open them.

Hi 1handclapping,

You will need to take ownership of files or files that refuse to that you access from your old hard drive.
