So i installed an SSD snd moved my hd into the optical bay

Most of the Installation Instructions that I found online said that I should clone the original hard drive, however I did not want to restore the full 500 GB hard drive onto a 128gb SSD. I did a clean install OS X 10.6 and all the necessary updates. The problem is that all of my original data is under the old user On the original hard drive, and when I tried to access it, i got the red brick icon and a message telling me i dont have permissions...

How do i make my old data accessible under the new install of os x?
