hello all this is a first post. please help

I partitioned my hard drive (partition magic 8) and installed xp to the c: drive. I am however unable to access the d: drive ever since and of course i could format the whole drive and reinstall everything but my documents folder has projects that are needed in 2 wks. i can see most of the files on the d: drive thru the c: drive but access is denied when i try to open my documents folder which is where all my stuffs are. is there a way to gain access thru the c: drive for my documents content or how can i fix the option to see both drives on windows startup screen?

thanks all for the input ppl

Maybe try running the Drive Mapper utility (look under Tools).

Maybe all those files just have invalid path descriptions now.

hey clocker

i tried diskmapping but the drive letters weren't changed during the partition process. all except for the cd-rom from E F - M N. thing is, if they weren't changed how do i use the "typical" option list in diskmapping.
