File Access

[TJ]

One of my computers running Windows XP Professional
crashed. I hooked the hard drive up to a different
computer also running XP Pro. When trying to access the
files as an administrator, which were formally under an
administrator account it says "Access Denied." Is it
possible to make this files accesible?

I have a similar problem but right clicking the folder

does not produce a "Security" tab. I am running XP Home
Edition
