NTFS Security

[Tonyld]

I have Win XP Home, and suffered a complete crash
recently, I reloaded xp home on a spare disk so I could
recover some data which I had not backed up. However I
had made some of the folders private, and as a result I
am getting Access Denied messages. I have tried logging
in as administrator in Safe Mode with no luck, Is there
any way I can get these files back?
