What do you mean, you can't access it?

Did you try mounting it?

Assuming the drive is FAT32 (if it's NTFS, you may have some problems),
try using the mount command (from root):

$ mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mountpoint

...where /mountpoint is a directory you've created from /.

Once you've done that, you should be able to cd to /mountpoint (which
you might want to call /winmount or something like that) and see the
files there.
