XP Professional -> XP Home

[JMR]

My old computer with XP Professional crashed so I moved
the hard drive to a new computer with another hard drive
that has XP Home on it. Now, I can't access the files on
the XP Professional formatted drive because of the user
access permissions. I know the usernames and passwords,
because I made them up, but I can't find any way to get
at the files on my old hard drive. Only the shared files
can be accessed. Is there any way to get to these files
so that I can move them to the new hard drive and then
reformat the XP Professional Hard Drive?
