How can I access Directory Access Denied?

My computer crashed, system32\system file is corrupt. I tried to repair it with the Windows XP CD but failed. RELOADED Windows over the old system, leaving intact files.  Now I can't find my old documents and cannot access the directory of the user they were in.  Any suggestions? Or is it lost?

As long as you use the Encrypting File System (EFS), you should be able to restore access to these files by taking ownership of the directory and subdirectories:
