Access Denied Win XP documents

[Rippsnort]

I recently replaced my motherboard with a Nforce and when I couldn't boot to XP with my old hard disk. I formatted my new hard disk and installed XP. Now I have plugged back in my old hard disk and have them both running. I can get all the data I need except the data that was in my E:\Documents and Settings\User folder as I get Access denied message...

Any way around this?

I have tried logging on with the same username, but that did not work.

Thanks

If you did not encrypt the folder this might help.

The username may be the same but it is still a completely different account. Do what the link above says.
