Default Plz Help I Need This Prob Fix B4 Monday

hi i have a problem with the secondary hard drive,

it has a copy ofwindows xp installed on it, xp detects the drive, i know its not faulty, i know it works.

but when i click the icon in my computer, it says D:\i s not acsessible acsess is denied,

I run the xp on the c:\ but this time in safe mode, i am able to acsess the drive (this is how i know its not faulty) but i need the my documents due to course work being saved on it,

but when i click my docs it says another error message, forgot wat it said, but i cant get to it, but the rest of the drive i can,

if you can access it in safe mode, then just back up the info you need, and reformat it.
