Hello !
Maybe someone can help me?
I have 2 physical HDD.
C - system HDD with Windows XP and programs,
D - HDD with my files and so on...

I format disk C, install Windows XP again, and now I can't open files on disk D, that was created with previous Windows XP !!!!
For example: "D:\Alexandr is not accesible. Access is denied"

What to do now? How to open these files ?!!!

With best regards, Alexandr.
