Recovering files from My Docs

[Cybergangster]

My brothers motherboard recently packed in. I replaced it and used a spare HDD to reinstall XP for him. Now I want to get his files from his old HDD to the new. I've set the old disk as a slave but I do not have the correct permissions to access the folder (My Docs under Documents and Settings).

I tried booting from the original HDD but XP won't boot. Is there any other way I can recover his files?

OMG I can't believe it was that simple! I've spent days sratching my @rse trying to figure this out...

I'll try it as soon as I get home.
