Default Lost acces to drive d: with XP installation?

Please help!
Had a XP install on drive d: working fine.
Old XP on drive C: deleted manually. Formatted drive with Partion Magic.
Made a new XP installation on C
And now I am asked during start which installation I want to use.
When I say "installation d:" I get a message that "configuration of hardware
to HD prevents the system to start.

What can I do?

Why are you responding "Yes" to install on D drive?
Had a XP install on drive d: working fine.

I did not!
I wanted to install on c: and did so. That's fine.
But now I cant use XP on drive D:
I dont get through in the upstart. When I prompt the installation on my old
drive D, it says: due to configuration of hardware and HD - no acces.?

where did "C" drive come from? is it a partition or HDD
Where did "D" drive come from? is it a partition or HDD

Is "D" a hard drive or a partition on "only" hard drive?

"C" is primary master!
Is "D" secondary master with jumper set as master, cable select or single
drive?

Hi,

It may happen the partition was driven corrupted. In this case I
suppose Active@ partition recovery tool is capable of helping you. It's
algorithm is great so I'm pretty sure that will solve your problem.
