Drive and boot problem

I have a dual BIOS on my pc and have managed to make d: drive inaccessible on startup, either normally or in safe mode. In the OS program it says that d: is unbootable. Yet when c: drive loads up, I can see all the d: drive folders and access them without problem. d: is recognised in dos and I have checked the registry and it says there are no errors. I think it is split with FAT32, but do not know if it was like that before or whether I have done with my fiddling. Drive c: is 14GB and drive d: is 10GB. I have read numerous ways fo sorting this problem out, but being slightly computer illiterate I am worried that am only going to make the problem worse. Please help, as formatting and partitioning really is the last thing I want to do.
