Accessing SATA hard drive

[charlyfl]

My motherboard died and I had my files password protected in Windows XP Media Edition, can I connect the SATA hard drive to another PC via USB and unlock the protected files, or does it have to run as the main drive to allow access and entry of password and then making all files public?
