Default windows reinstall....access denied

I just recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled XP. I have a secondary drive that holds all of my documents and important files. Now that I have windows reinstalled on the C drive, I can access all of the files on the D drive, except for my one folder that contains about 10 gig of music. When I attempt to access this folder, it gives me a "access denied error". Accessing the folder through winamp reveals the contents of the folder, but the actual files are in accessible. Is this just a security glitch, where the old installation of windows locked the files and I don't have the key any more to access them? Or are they symply corrupt? Any ideas how I can access these again? This is the only folder on the drive that this is happening with.
