How to recover lost partition in Vista


Hi

I am having an IBM notebook which came with vista home basic
pre-installed. Using VIsta disk management, I made partition on my HDD.
After running for almost 6 months. my windows got some problem due to
which I had to run recovery disk. After running recovery disk, although
OS has been restored to original but my D: is missing. Its showing only
c: to me now. I have checked in BIOS also. I am not sure whether it has
merged the two drives if so. WHat about my data.

Can yopu please suggest what to do.

Thanks

Using the recovery DVD you returned your computer to the same
condition it was in when you bought it. There was no D then, so there
is no D now.

Whatever you had on D is now gone.
