Hi
What does dos fdisk tell you? For windows, drive next to c: is d:. So
what it showed to you as d: might be linux partition itself. You formatted
it and now linux is gone. Note: this is one of possible solutions...
So check out whar does dos fdisk tell you. Chances are that you might
have to do linux installation on ce again(If above predicted scenario is
right). But your original d: is safe. Just that it's called by a different
name... Check out..
Bye
