Default access denied on import of prior outlook.pst file

I reinstalled windows onto a newly formatted existing hard drive. But, first
I copied everything from my old C drive to a newly installed hard drive. I
am unable to import or open my previous outlook.pst file and get msg
"accessed denied". I believe I have permissions properly specified.

Help plz

'Take ownership' see win help, of the folder containing your old OL data
files.
Copy those files to My Documents Folder.
Within OL, FileOpenData File........browse to that location
