Is it possible the directories you can't access were secured to the old admin account or some other restricted set of users? Although it is the same hardware the OS has changed so the access rights will have been lost on any directories you don't own.
Sign on as an admin and right-click he directory or disk and select the security tab and see what you get. If it *doesn't* have 'everyone - full control' flagged as allow then adjust the rights accordingly. It /should/ let you do this if you are admin. Hoefully then you'll gain access.
If this isn't it then probably you've lost it so far as what you can do is concerned. If the data is valuable and worth money to recover then contact Vogon or a similar operation to see what they can recover. They're good but cost.
