Access denied by previous security restriction (urgent)

[Guest]

I used to use add security level to one of my logical drive (D to limit access for all user except administrator. For some reason, I format my windows XP and with my new XP, I cannot access that particular drive, windows itself cannot recognise this drive.It shows nothing in the properties. When I double click, it shows access is denied.

How can I get back the ownership of the drive and let my windows recognise this drive

Thank you very much~
