losing files - system corruption

i have recently lost all files saved on my computer - important files, mind you, due to a corrupt system-32 crash. i redownloaded the operating system and i see my old administrative name in Documents and Settings, but "access is denied" when i try to get to my old files, which have apparently gone. is there any way to retrieve these files? if any of you could help i'd be very appreciative.

Right-click on the folder, then left click on Properties. There will either be a Security or Permissions tab/button. In it's advance section will be an option to take ownership. Make sure you check the box for child objects.
