Urgent: How to reset the security rights on a folder?

T

The Saint

Hi,
I am stuck with a weird scenario.
I had to reinstall my Windows XP on the C drive.
I have two other drives D and E, both of which are NTFS
formatted. I had a folder in the E drive on which I had
set security rights to myself.
Now after reinstalling Windows XP, I am not able to access
the folder. I have created the user with the same name and
rights.
I have some important data in the folder and can't afford
to delete the same. Is there any way by which I could
retrieve the data? Is it possible to reset the security
rights? If yes, please let me know how?
Please help me at the earliest.
