access denied documents & settings

Did an image of old computer using EZ Gig onto an external hard drive, then
assigned a drive letter to it on new computer. Cannot access the documents &
settings/user directory - "access denied" Am using XP Home so follow
directions to boot in safe mode, but then cannot access the drive letter of
the external drive and old computer is now gone.
