Access denied to a protected folder

I am having problems accessing protected folders on a second harddrive on my computer. The slave drive used to be the master drive that I ran Windows XP off of, but the harddrive crashed. I have now installed it as a secondary drive to try to retrieve some of the files off of it, but I can not access any of the folders from the user accounts that were protected. Is there a way to open the folders with the account passwords, or will I need to figure out a way to log back onto the windows installed on my slave drive?
