Need Hardrive Help please

Hi guys, ok i have a Western Digital hard drive. its i think about 230GB big. so it recenelty it went crazy and i couldn't log into windows, when turn on the computer, it would just go into safe modes, normal modes etc.. then when i pick one it would just restart over and over again. so i decided to install another Operating system (XP) on the unpartition space. so now i have 2 XP's in one harddrive, so i thought by doing this, i could go into my new XP and withint the new XP go into my old xp to extract the files out. but when i tried to go back into the Old Xp, it said Access denied and i can't get in. anyhelp? thanks guys
