XP expert's help needed

Greetings;

Under my previous Win XP pro (installed on C I had changed the location
of "My document" to a folder on a NTFS drive (F and made it private, so
that other
accounts couldn't access it. Months passed and in a very curious day my
computer's Motherboard burned up...
Now got a new mainboard, with a new XP (Pro + SP1) installed. "Mydocument"
is still on F:, but as you might have expected, access is denied. There is
no
way to change, copy or remove it. Even I can't format that partition!
(Almost 3 GB space is wasted). Can anyone tell me how to break the security
and access my invaluable documents?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
