:D That's ok to me, back it up and send it to my mail adress b4 deleting ;D unless 
:"old" means grannysex, that case *not* :D)
Yep, your old D: drive (given it actually *is* a hard disk, a device, sth you can take 
and weigh in your hands) is hdb, the first partiton is hdb1
BUT only if it's on the same cable as your C: drive, if not, it's hdc or hdd, as I 
wrote.

checkout if /etc/fstab contains a line like

/dev/hdb1  /D vfat defaults,user 1 0

or the like, that case you can mount it with mount /D (or whatever mountpoint is given 
there) as root.

check out man fstab, man mount, don't be afraid to read, if you don't understand 
something - come here.
