I am no expert and don't know the answer to your problem speciifically but I am pretty certain (that is is SOUNDS like but might not be), based on your brief description, that your data is probably there but your boot.ini is missing or corrupted. If you can find a thread on how to repair/replace your boot.ini you should be OK. This happend to me once and ever since I keep a copy of my boot.ini file. Screwing around with boot.ini can make your HD unbootable but since it already is ... Good luck.
