I have 2 computers

One running Windows XP Home and the other running XP Professional.

The XP home windows has become corrupt and does not start, but I can put that hard drive into the other machine and can use the files stored on the hard drive apart from the ones that was stored in My Documents.

I cannot access My Documents from the other machine when I click on them it says access denied is there a way around this and how do I get into them?
