Is drive D visible if you boot into DOS from a floppy ? What's the formatting on drive D - NTFS/FAT/FAT32 ? W2K should see all of them shouldn't it ? Have you tried any recovery software or Partition Magic to reclaim the partition - but be careful !

reinstall 2000 and opt to install in onto the drive you're after ( or win98 will also do ). shift the data over and format the drive with 2000 on afterwards. i did the same !!
