May be OT and if so I am sorry.

I have a c drive disk from a failed Vista machine containing
Quickbooks 2008. Its data files are .qbw files under Documents and
Settings folder.

I installed QB 2008 on my XP SP3 machine and want to access the qbw
files. I want to copy those files to my xp drive.

I mounted the Vista drive as a slave in my machine, and proceeded to
try to do a copy of said qbw files from the Vista drive to my machine.
It wouldn't let me access the Documents and Settings folder. It says
I don't have permissions.

How can I overcome this calamity? I have tried everything I can think
of.
