Default Files Appear Corrupt

I have Windows XP Pro installed and had problems with a virus. I Hit F11 on
startup on the HP computer (laptop) and repair my windows installation.
Sweet. I started up the new windows and tried to access my previous
documents. ACCESS DENIED. Rebooted computer to safe mode and changed the
access privledges to Full for my NEW account and moved the files I want to
keep to the c:\ directory to access. I rebooted and logged in as normal on
the new installed OS and checked out my files. They all dont work which was
inside My Documents folder. All the other folders in my Account under
documents and settings eg Application Data etc all work its just the My
Documents folder and sub folders are affected by this. I have tried about ten
programs to repair. No such luck. If I go to open a pic of my son, it somes
up preview unavailable and if I use another imaging program same kind of
thing. My mp3s dont work, WMP throws an error, and my vids etc dont work. I
have 12.5 GB of data inside that I could live with only 2 GB of pics of my
new born son or my misses will shoot me. Any Help please??????????
