recovering data from 'access denied' folder in slave hdd

[Guest]

hi there, i've gone through 'repair' by booting xp cd, i've tried 'fixmbr' and 'fixboot' since the hdd which i'm trying to recover data from use to bot with grub given i had a linux hdd as master before. that hdd is now damaged, so i cannot boot from the hd i need the data from. i've tried copying partitions with a maxtor intsalation disc since both hdds are maxtor, but this only damaged the new hard drive i was using to try to recover the data with, leading me to reinstalling xp on the new hdd. my problem is that i need to recover some data from a slave hdd which will not boot under any circumstances. i am able to view some files from booting to the master hdd(new hdd), but some files are 'access denied'. are there any other utilities or tweaks i could use to fix this problem? i need to recover about 20gb of data. thank you for any pointers or sugestions.
