Can't access secondary harddrive, help..

I had to format my primary harddrive and reinstall everything. But I was able to back up some of my more valuble files on a secondary harddrive. I even accessed some of it's contents after reloading winxp, but suddenly now, when I try to access data from the secondary harddrive I only get " disk drive is not formated. Format now? yes/no"...

Does anybody have advice so I can get access to this harddrive without having to format it aswell...

Thanks.

update..
Odd, it seems like it's only concerning a my picture file..anybody?

Your could try to remove it from the Device listing and let Windows re-detect on reboot... Worth a shot.
