MARK: Go to the ONTRACK.com site and download their recovery tool from their free software and demos section.

Ditto for PowerQuest.com - they have a tool called Lost & Found designed for this purpose and you can download a trial version.

If the data structures are just scrambled one of these may be able to get back the drive.

If the D: drive is NTFS you are in for a slightly trickier time because you may have to boot an NT system from another hard drive in order to "see" it. If you can only boot Win9x, then try one of the NTFS from DOS/Win9x utilities. There are free ones that can read NTFS from DOS/Win9x and purchasable ones that can even write to it.

Of course you could just put in a new disk and restore from your backup.

You *do* have backups, right? ;-)

Oh. Well... maybe *next* time.
