Problem with restoring files

I just reinstalled XP Pro after a hard drive failure. I
then reinstalled documents from a backup discs. However,
if I try to access my data, I'm told that access is denied
for each file or even in opening folders. Any ideas what
is going on here?

See if the following article helps in any way:
