lost my documents

[Brian]

hello, my issue is that i have 2 hard drives one for my
OS and applications, the other for everything else (my
pictures, my documents, etc.).

unfortunately i had to re-format my OS hard drive leaving
my other HD alone. after reinstalling XP i can no longer
access the "my documents" folder on the 2nd HD. i get
the following error:

D:/Brian/My Documents is not accessable
Access is denied

any ideas?

thanks

This "fix" worked for me and that was a relief... I'll never leave
anything important in there again...
