Sounds like you might have been using the NTFS system, when you were running Windows
2000. Windows Me only recognizes (to my knowledge) FAT16 or FAT32 partitions.
In lay-men's terms: If, in fact, your D drive still exists, it is formatted in a
way that Windows Me doesn't, and cannot recognize. There fore, you will be unable
to see it while you are running Windows Me.
My solution for you would be to re-install Windows 2000 (making sure not to overwrite
the old D drive) and see if you can back up your D drive before you go back to Windows
Me. A potential alternative solution (meaning that I'm not so sure if this would
work, but it can't hurt to try) would be to boot the computer from a Windows 2000
Boot Disk, copy the files from D to C, reboot the computer normally, re-format D,
then copy the files back to D.
Hope this works. Let me know if it does. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you
except to ask one of the other guys out here.
