Protection problem 2nd HD

Dear all...

Bought myself a new computer last week. I took out my entire 'old' harddisk,
and put this one in my new system.
No problems thus far; every folder is accessible,
except...................... E:\Documents and Settings\Daan.
(I used 2 accounts on XP: Daan and Guest. In the Daan folder, all my data is
stored: addressbooks/pictures/emails/etc)

When I click on the folder, XP sends me an on screen warning:
Protected folder, XS not allowed (something like that)

Is there any way to get my own data back??
Already tried something in safe-mode, nothing succeeded :-((

Thanks for any help,
Daan

Try here..
How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP

In XP Home you have to boot in safe mode to see the security tab. In XP Pro
you have to disable simple file sharing.
