Access to my old hard drive... help!

[Guest]

Hello,

I had two hard drives in my computer. Primary drive held Windows XP and all
the program/application files. Secondary drive held the My Documents files
(pictures, music, documents, e-mails, etc).

My primary drive crashed and I have since replaced it with a new one and
I've re-installed XP and other programs. However, I'm trying to access my
documents in my secondary drive and it's denying me access!!! I'm assuming
it's because of the "sharing settings" I've set on my old drive.

Can someone please help?!?! I'm in desparate need of accessing all of those
files...

Thanks in advance!
