Post subject:  Accessing Files on a HD

My problem is I had a HDD that was running WinXP home and something went wrong with the drive and wasn't allowing me to boot up the HDD. I used an extra drive and installed WinXP pro. I need to get some files that are on the drive that won't boot up. I can access the files on the drive all except for the files inside my profile folders, "It says access denied", How would I get these files inside those folders?
