You can download Gparted (free) and burn it to a CD and use it boot your
daughter's computer and check to see what partitions are on her HD.
If the windows partitions are still shown as being there, several ways
to possibly get the data from them.
If they don't show up, there still may be a chance to retrieve some
data. Probably best to not write anything to the disk for a while.
Let us know if the windows partitions are still there.
