New PC Issue

I have built a windows VISTA Basic PC for my sister. I just received the
hardrive from her previous PC and installed the drive as slave. I want to
transfer files, favorites, email account info etc but am not able to access
those folder because of insufficient rights. The old hard drive has windows
XP home edition installed on it. How can i gain rights on the new computer
to gain full access to all files etc on the old PC hard drive. There is alot
of data in ducments and setting especially that I want to transfer to the new
system. Thanks in

Answered in another newsgroup. If you must post to more than one newsgroup
please do so by crossposting, sending one message to all groups at the same
time, rather than multiposting, sending separate messages to each newsgroup.

Tried to do that. But I still cannot gain access to individual files,
bookmarks etc. I can see they are there but i cannot open/read them.. I need
a bit more specific info thanks.

Gosh that sure helps the people who read this newsgroup and don't have
any idea in what newsgroup it was answered. I suppose your net nanny
duties are more important to state here than the answer to the problem.

It is hard to believe how many prima donna types hang out in the
Microsoft newsgroups. Rock is sure one of them that loves to bluster
and play pretend that he's somehow in charge. LOL!
