At first i got 2 Hard Disk into 3 partions as follow...

C:\ -> 1st HDD(10G)
D:\ -> 2nd HDD(35G)
E:\ -> 2nd HDD(20G)

Yesterday, i try to install Dual OS, then accidentally convert(in C:\) my win98 and win2K into NTFS...thus my win 98 cannot startup

2day, i format my C:\, backup all my files and datas into both D:\ and E:\ drive. Now i got my Dual OS run....but surprisingly my datas and files in my D:\ was lost...wat it has is only 2 folder call "winnt" and "document and setting"...as for my e:\ all data was there....Why??

Why i din't format my D:\ yet files were lost and my E:\ data were left intact?? they are form the same HDD.... And also if i wanted to retrieve my data back, can??

Use the computer as little as possible and run Lost and Found by Powerquest (there are other data recovery progs, but I like this one). Hopefully, you'll be able to get some of your files back...

but it's cost $70, all i need is to recovering the data 1 time, and i might not be using again...$70 for 1 time use...seem to be quite expensive, somemore i not even sure if it will work...anyone got a free software or shareware to recommend??

You can try "file scavenger" or look at tucows.com for something else...
