Last night i was trying to get rid of windows XP as my secondary os by deleting the partitions it was on by using the boot cd. Well apparently when i started my main OS my 2 secondary hds were gone!?

O_o Well i reinstalled XP thinking i may have done something wrong, well i did and when i booted the main OS they showed but...but...but...my data was gone!!!! All my music, files, games, and programs on those drives were gone!!! gone!!! How the hell?!?!?! Is there any way to retrieve it?

Please, i would really appreciate the help.
