We were recently attacked by an unknown Virus which re-installed WindowsNT server overwriting the existing \WINNT directory.
After that, the D:\ partition which contains all important data files is now seen in the Disk Administrator as FREE SPACE.
Is there a way to recover the files in the D:\ partition?

You can try to either go into dos mode and look if you can see the files then copy them to a diffrent drive or try attacking the hard disk that contains the d: partion to another computer as a slave drive and see if you can access the files.

you can best do is try to install the HARDdrive to another PC and try to access the data from it. Coz may be your operating files would have changed. Or you can try changing the drive IDE interface from the existing one to the other one. Is yoursystem a stand alone PC or a server ? if server give details as to whether it is a SCSI drive or a ordinary drive etc.
