I think I need pix to fully understand what it is that you've messed up. At this point it sounds like it's foobarred and you need to replace the HD or Mobo (or use a different IDE connector if u have one), whichever end we're talking about.
It is possible to wick up the solder with some solder wick however, might be able to save you from a short, but not positive depending on the severity of how much u coated the other pins.

Some slim solder wick might do the job, but it's all going to depend on how much extra solder you got in there and if enough can be picked up so that no traces are connecting the pins when u get done. It's going to be a long and frustrating process if you give this method a try. You also risk bending/breaking more pins whilst trying to get the wick down through all of the pins. SATA FTW!
Crisis over.. 
Good help from my dad got the disk running again!
Just wondered if anyone knows how to do:
I have booted into windows using another hardrive. I plug my old one in to get the info off of it. I can't Because "My documents" is protected. So I can't copy it..
I really need this seeing as it has my course work on it..
Anyone know how to get past the protection?

Welldone getting it sorted, u can 100% fix a broken pin usually by replacing the pin via solder - and then stick another connector on top of it that can act as a pass through. Kinda like piggybacking a chip. Then u tend to hot-wax the connector to the previously knackered connector so there is zero fear of movement that is the worry of a merely soldered pin.
I`ll however assume that by sorted, and u`r subsequent post, that it`s u`r mobo that is still knackered and u`r trying to access u`r harddrive off u`r dad`s pc...
Hmm, accessing, u`ve passworded u`r login I assume further.
If u`r dad`s pc is inherently the same architecture as u`rs, u can try booting too it - however if some vital differences like north/south bridge manufs or cpu, are very different, windo$e may just lock up. May not..
Otherwize, I`d have to get back to u - I don`t know enough about windo$e permissions to advise u atm. I know it doesn`t simply ask u for a pass, coz I`ve been there.

Okay..
No I have reformatted one of my spare drives and now running off that.
This harddrive with the data is not the one that went boom(nearly) it is my old boot drive.
So Im tring to acces my old files using the old boot drive as a slave.
I cannot boot from it becasue it just Blue screens with 0x0000007B.. Which is a harddrive error. And I can tell you that the error is becasue of no IDE controller..
So I cannot get into my old documnets because it keeps coming up with Acces denied...
Anyway to get past this? I really need my course work.

Ok, with my limited knowledge of this, and thinking logically..
The boot.ini of the old drive u`ve just installed windo$e on will say something like:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
Now, thinking logically (which is always a bad idea with windo$e), I would attempt to edit this to read to the slave drive (the one u`r trying to get u`r work off), or better still add it to it as a multi-boot thing so if it doesn`t work u don`t have to install windo$e on the drive again.
U will probably have to ask Frag`n`m8s about how to add this to u`r boot.ini successfully, but I reckon it should work.

I think only the multi booting experts can answer that, I`m thinking that it`ll still rely on the drive u`ve installed as the controller and yet have windo$e rely on the slave.
Thanks for the help dude!
I have now fixed the prob and got my data back!
And all within windows!:worship:
