File protection in Windows 2000/XP

[MGMorden]

Ok, I'm trying out Windows XP. I installed once on one motherboard, and then got my new ECS K7S5A today, which I put in my system (rigs not updated yet). Anyways, I took my hard drive over to a friend's machine and deleted my Windows and Program Files directories, and then put the drive back in my computer and installed again (didn't want to loose my data but did want to do a clean install of windows). Anyways, now, when I try to go into my old "Documents and Settings" folder it says access is denied. I log in as Administrator (in safe mode) and it STILL says this. Is there any way to get my data out of this folder?!?!? I REALLY need a few emails that I had saved in there. My My Documents folder would be nice too but I've got a backup of that from a few weeks ago. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Log in as Admin click the advanced button in the security tab. Then take ownership of the folder.
