Hi there Kartik_1204,

What do you mean by not able to access it?

You can't really find it, or you get some sort of an error message when trying to access it?
If you get some sort of an access denied error message, you can follow this tutorial: http://preyerplanning.com/take-ownership-of-entire-hard-drive-in-windows-7.pdf

If it is just not showing, you can run some antivirus/malware scans.
What is the type of data?

It would be nice to provide a screenshot of Disk Management as well.

Let me know how this goes,
