2nd HD wont open a specific folder.

[vsmoly]

Anyone, please help, I recently ran a 120gb harddrive on my system dual boot, windowsXP & Redhat Linux 9.0, everthing was great up until yesterday, when I installed sisoft, it crashed my system, I tried everything to restore but with no luck, it just boots half-way and stops, so, without further ado, I installed a 40gig harddrive as my c:/drive and my original 120gb dive with the data as the d:/ drive, here's my problem I see all my folders and whatever I had on there to transfer, small things, but, this one folder that I made private in my previous installation I cant open, error message is:

D:\Documents and Settings\Admin\my documents\private is not accessible

Acess denied.

When I right click on the folder it shows as if its a blank folder but I have at least 5gb in there, all other folders that I did not make private open with no problem, I am in desperate need of anybody's expertise, please help.
