Two versions of XP on my HDD (help)

I did a fresh install yesterday, and my problem is I can't get to any of my old files/programs/drivers. The 'fresh' windows is just how it is when you install it for the first time, empty start menu etc. I can see all my files from the previous windows in the C: directory, but just can't use them. I get the error message 'Access Denied'.

So, is there any way to get my files/drivers from the 'old' windows into the fresh version?

Thanks.
