Help with windows crash...

My windows install on my hard drive got totally FURBAR'd and I can no longer boot from that drive. There are a few files from my desktop on that OS that I would like to reclaim if at all possible as there are several school projects on there.

I have been told that using a Linux boot CD you should be able to access most of the data. True to a point but when I try to access items on the desktop of my previous Windows profile, the folder shows empty. I'm not getting any access rights errors but my suspicion is that I am being denied access. Does anyone know how to get around this?
 
Wow, quick responses guys, thanks! Will this solve the problem of access rights to that folder though? It doesn't really say. I was hoping by using Linux it would disregard Windoze security parameters. I'm able to access most every other folder on the drive.

Well to be honest, we are not sure it is a rights access issue. I would try this before going further.
