Virus Damage Help Please!

Hi GUys, Can you help me. I managed to get a nasty virus that promptly took over the windows start up and presented a ‘You need to Register Windows’ dial up now screen … Dont dial and windows xp just shut dfown again. Ended up reloading wondows over the old one … PROBLEM NOW IS THIS I cant open up my old previous my documents!!! even with admin level user I still cant get into or move my old user mydocs files.

I cant wipe the drive as I have info I need in the folder and some of them were not backed up at that point in time. Can anyone please help me sort my problem out. I dont mind wipiing the drive as long as I can I hope get my emails and the contents of the old my docs folder.

Thank You
David.
