Default Documents and Settings issues.. please help

Hi, I hope someone can help me. One of my hard drives recently decided it didn't want to boot anymore, so I swapped it to slave and formatted another. Now that I've done that I wanted to transfer all of my files from the old hard drive to the new one but, I can't find the Documents and Settings folder to move everything. If someone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

You should be able to see your files when you place the old drive into the new system as a slave. Have you done this?

One of my hard drives recently decided it didn't want to boot anymore, so I swapped it to slave and formatted another.
You stated you swapped a drive to slave to format another so I think you know what you are doing

You can access Documents & Settings with it being a slave drive. However you may need to take ownership of the files & folders
