Accessing folders from a another hard drive

[Amanda]

My motherboard crashed, so I took the existing hard drive
and installed in another computer with Win XP too. But I
am unable to open the folders from these hard drive that
I created under the user that have administrative
privledges of the crashed pc. It says, access denied. Is
there a way I can access these folders and files. Please
help, these files are very important. Thank you in
advance for anyone who can help.
