Accessing a Private folder

[sameh.riad]

Dear All,

I had a laptop failure, and had to remove the hard disk out to copy
important data.
One of the most important files is my outlook e mail file (pst)
unfortunately this is under the local documents and setting folder of
my old hard disk and so when trying to access the folder i am getting
the message access denied.
I tried creating a new account with the same name as my old account on
the old laptop, but still with no use.

Can anybody help me please?

Regards,

Sameh

You need to take ownership.
