    I'll assume that you need access to all files and folders on the D drive.

    The link below will show you how to gain access to the entire D drive so you can access and retrieve or delete your files and folders. :)

    Why don`t you want to repair your C: drive ?
    Apparently you have a lot of stuff on it.

    Where are you gonna put the data you have on it.
