Lost info?Please Help

[Guest]

I recently had to move my old hard drive running windows xp into a new
computer because there was some issue with windows. I really wanted to be
able to save some of the info on my old hard drive because it is pictures of
my baby's first year and a half. I have some of them written to disk but not
enough....anyway, when I try to access the folder where "my pictures" were
stored I get an error message that says it is not available. Access is
denied. Does anyone know what the deal is, have I lost my pictures??
Please, any help you can give me. Thanks
