Accessing F:\Documents and Settings\user

[jagmeetsinghsaluja]

Hello

I am having old ibm branded pc (built 2005). The Mother board is dead but hdd is alive.

I plugged old pc hdd into new pc. But now i can't X:\Documents and Settings\user (of old drive) being special permission folder.

Can anybody tell how i can bypass access denied.

PS: I tried to boot from old drive so that i can copy things i need to root or other drive but blue screen error pops and pc restarts again.
