locked out of my documents

I moved the My Documents location over to my secondary hard drive, then, I formatted and reloaded XP onto my primary hard drive. Now, I can't access the my documents folder on the secondary hard drive because it is locked to the original account. There's has to be a way to get into this folder, I have a lot of stuff in it that I really need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Memphis

I figured it out. I booted up in safe mode, brought up the properties for the my documents folder, after digging around in there, i was able to take control of it. if somebody needs better directions, just reply to this thread and i'll give a step-by-step.
