recovering from C:/documents and settings/dd/

I recently had a hard drive just die on me, so I got a new one, installed windows on it, and connected the old one to my new one to pull my files off.  I've gotten most of my files off, except for the ones in the "documents and settings" folder.  Like my firefox bookmarks.  I can't get my old hard drive to boot up anymore.  Anybody happen to know how to get through the "access denied" thing of "C:/documents and settings/username/"?

Err I hope you're joking or do you have a windows other than XP/2000?
You select your username from list, check replace owner of subcontainers and objects and you press apply / ok.

At least in Windows NT - if your windows has it different you're gonna have to figure it out yourself, it's windows.. it can't be hard. Good luck.
