HELP!!!

Pulling the plug suddenly is never a good idea.

You can probably get most of the data recovered but you would need professional help (and it will be costly). You may be able to recover it with whats called a low level format (which keeps the data) but it depends on what was formated on the drive. I would suggest digging around the net for tools that may help you recover from a incomplete format.

My suggestion for the future is to use an external drive for backing up (such as a usb drive) they are very inexpensive and windows will never try to install to one (infact windows when installing probably will not even be able to see it). Otherwise I would suggest pulling the power plug on the drive (have the computer fully shut down first before doing that) before installing an os back on to be absoloutly certain what drive windows is installing to.

I find it very odd that windows would even install to your d drive, even if its a partition. Windows generaly refuses to install to anything but the primary master drive and the first partition (it can be tricked to though).
