I sold my computer and removed the hard drive from it. However, I baught a
new computer with seperate version of XP. I also added the 'old' hardrive as
I have a lot of documents on it. However I am unable to retrieve the
documents under the 'mydocuments' folder. Is this possible without booting
from this drive?

Yes...you just need to take ownership.

Did you create the same username with the same password on the new computer
that you had on the old one? If not try it...
