Recovering private files

I hope someone can help.

XP crashed so I installed (with help!) a new HDisk, reinstalled XP on the new HD and made the old a slave. The purpose was to allow me to copy accross all my files and then use the old disk as a back up. However, I had marked the original 'my documents' file as 'private' and not to be shared. Becuase I now log in through a new install of XP, I can no longer get to these files. How can I get access to these files? I have administrator access but that does not seem to make any difference. Does anyone know how to get around the seciurity settings that is preventing this access? Thanks
