System restore the d drive to a time before it became a problem and use acronis true image or simply back it up to an external hard drive. I saw a seagate 300gig external HD for £104 at Maplins. Or use dvd disks.

thnx for the quick reply but when D messed up C got affected as well.. for sum reason there are no system checkpoints. im so worried...plz sum1 help!

Have you checked your system for a virus?

As your C drive is now corrupted as well as your D drive the data you want to backup may also be corrupt.

Can you access any data at all on your D drive?

In the System Restore Wizard was there no system checkpoints at all?
