What do you mean by broken system?
How I would proceed would depend on how the system was broken.
What meant that you cannot access the HDD?
Can you see the files?
Just see the drive?
Since it has a drive letter have you ran a check disk on it?

This is a fairly common issue, suggest you add "take ownership" to your desktop which should allow access to your files. See this guide here, at the bottom is the link to the registry hack which will save you manually editing the registry.
The guide says it works for Vista, but it will work for later versions of Windows too.

There are alternate ways of getting your info providing the drive is not damaged, let us know if the above doesn't work?
