Recovering Hard Drive

I have got problems with a sata Hard Drive. The system will boot to it but when I try to access any of the folders on it the system just shuts down and reboots.

I put an pata drive on the system, the computer works fine with that but when I try to access the sata drive through the pata drive I get an error message saying the folder is not accessible, access is denied.

All of my documents such as photos, spreadsheets and music are on this sata drive. Does anybody know of a good recovery program (at reasonable cost) that will recover all my info and maybe return the drive to its original state without to much trouble?

If access is the problem, you need to take ownership of the files.

How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP

Or use these:
