Unable to access a partition after upgrading from xp sp3

I decided to upgrade to vista today and after the installation I was unable
to access one of the partitions on one of my drives and storage manager
reports it being healthy. I have three drives and 7 partitions between them.
I upgraded to Ultimate sp1

Hi,

Does it have a drive letter yet? If not, run disk manager (diskmgmt.msc) and
assign one.

It already has a drive letter and I marked it as active and its a primary
partition and still gives unable to access. I wish not to delete the contents
of the drive as its my music, photos and documents portion.

Update

Not sure what is going on but when I am browsing folders as to save a file
or open one I am able to access the drive. However when using explorer it
will tell me access denied.

Have you checked permissions?
