Question : Vanished Partitions on Hard Disk

When I set up my daughter's computer a year ago I partitioned the hard drive with FDISK into 3 partitions, C: for system & programmes, D: for her own filing, and E: as a small holding area for introduced material needing assessment.  Operating system is Win95 OSR2.

Suddenly last week D: & E: drives vanished.  Not only do they no longer appear under Windows Explorer, but clicking on any reference showing in say Works, My Documents, Recycling Bin, to files on the original D: & E: drives causes that reference to vanish also.  
So far as I can ascertain the rest of the system works well.  

There is no partitioning programme on her computer so I cannot see how partitioning can be changed without drastic reformatting.
It is as if there is no partitioning, or  that  in some way the drives D: and E: are still there but hidden.
 Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer : Vanished Partitions on Hard Disk

I think you can run tiramisu's trial version on a system with one hard drive.  You will need a second, and a licence if you choose to recover.  But at least, it will let you know if you can get it back.
