I've recently installed xp and did not know I was causing one partition to be
inaccessable, is there any way to gain access to it?
 
See what "Disk Management" says about the partition.

Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc

Otherwise post in any specific error messages, that you are getting

Hi,

Normally that would only occur if you "hide" a partition/volume using a
third party boot manager, or the file system on that drive is not one
readable by WinXP. Otherwise, the installation should be able to read any
drives on the local system. What does diskmgmt.msc state about this drive?
