Just a guess, but...what account are you logged on under when you try
to view D:? And have you assigned that account the neccessary
permissions to access the drive? Although I think that if you didn't,
you would at least get some sort of error message proclaiming "access
denied" or some such (I'm still in my early months of Windows XP Pro
usage, after having been without a computer for a couple of years; the
last OS I used before this was, as you, Windows 98 SE).
Windows XP is not Windows 98; there's a bit more to it re: permissions
and access and things of that nature.
I'm sure others here will elucidate further, in more detail than I
can.
