If you can remember EXACTLY how the partitions were set up before, setting
the disk up like that again *may* give you back your D:. For this trick
to work you'd use FDISK only, not format. I have done this in the past
and discovered that a blastion partition table can be recreated, with the
data still there.
This was with DOS systems, so there is a chance that a fat32 system might
not work for this, if thats what you had.
I would try this as a last resort. Taking the data to a professional
restorer would be better, but if you don't have the money for that, try
this.
