You don't mention if both drives are currently active in the machine, but if
they are then the 20G disk will be accessible once you boot from the 120G
disk. It'll just be another volume and you can copy/move/delete/whatever.
If it's not, just attach it as a slave drive or put it on the secondary IDE
channel, assuming you don't have 2 CDROMs or something like that. :-)
If you enabled EFS on it (doesn't sound like it though), then the data's
gone for good without the decryption key and you'll have to go to your
backups.
