Folder Trouble

[Archie]

HI HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP.
I saved some folders to my second hard drive before
reformating my C drive and installind XP and now I cant
open or copy some folders back to my C drive.
I get a message "D:/mpeg is not accessible the parameter
is incorrect" when trying to open my mpeg folder.
Some folders with my web site files wont open either so
Im desperate to get them working and copied back to my C
drive.
Thanks for any help in advance.

If these files and folders are not encrypted, you should be able to regain
access by claiming ownership.

Just curious, what version of Windows were you on when you created
that D: drive? Is it formatted as a NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, etc? Would
it be possible to install that D: drive in another computer and see
it? Can you boot the computer to a floppy and see the files?
