Retrieving data from old drive -- HELP!

I had a system with two hard drives, 1 (primary) and 2 (secondary).

Hard drive 1 crashed. I installed a new hard drive, 3, installing
windows on it and making it the primary.

Now, however, there are certain folders I can't get to on hard drive
2, because the permissions were locked to everyone except my old user
account from Windows on drive 1.

Since Windows on drive 1 won't boot any more, I don't know how to get
to the files on drive 2. Does anyone know a way?

I tried changing the permissions (I'm admin on the new Windows on
drive 3), but for some reason I can't seem to do that in XP anymore.
Am I missing something?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
James
