Recovering files from access denied directories

[Claude SA]

On my computer I beleive that a controler function
failed, loosing all access to all drives.
So in order to access my files on my hard disk. I removed
the disk from my computer and installed it on an other
computer in slave mode. Note: Operating Systems on both
computers are Win XP Home.

I now can explore my disk except for specific user
directories in "Documents and settings" directories. How
can I have access to these directories

Any suggestions...

You will need to use a Safe mode boot to take ownership
of the inaccessible areas, on the Owner tab within the
Security dialog of the Properties of the NTFS object.
