Are you using File > Open to open the file?  If so are you able to
browse the folders on D: ok and see all the files there?

If you copy the file that you can't open from D: to a different drive
are you able to open it from there?

What happens if you open the file from the backup folder and then use
File > Save As to save it to D:?

If you try to open something like a .doc file from the same folder on
D: in Word or whatever you use is that ok?  Are you able to save it
again.  That may tell you if it is a system problem rather than a
GnuCash problem.
