I used to backup mydata from my daily winXP computer using the smartware application and still I can access it fro explorer.
now I am trying to access my drive from another computer win 7 64bit, but it is giving “Q:\ is not accessible Access is denied” and giving 0 size. I am still able to access it from the old win XP, but win xp is crashing now, and I need to access MYPASSPORT WD drive on win7.

it could also be an issue with the format of the drive. 7 may not be reading it. if your xp is still in good enough condition, you could try using another drive formatted by the win 7 and copy the data from the passport on to that drive. Then see if 7 reads it.
