XP My documents lock out.

I have recently formated my pc, using the disk i originally used to install xp and used the same settings and user name, i have done this many times with no problems. i store my 'my documents' folder on a secondary harddrive incase of OS problems and crashs. recently installed a fresh copy of windows after six months trouble free, to find that for some reason, i now no longer 'have access' to the folder containing my work and documents - thats the message i get, is there some work around for this? i have back ups, but out of date mainly.

many thanks.
