My harddisk just crashed....Help

[etech]

As I were mounting Godfather 3 the PC suddenly restarted,
I was like, oh well it happens some time.
But when the pc was booting back up, it couldn't find the C drive, and booted on the D drive, but the Xp installation on that partion is corrupt.
When i checked which drive is set as the primary boot device in my BIOS setup, it says the harrdisk where the C partition located on.
So it appears like the C drive no longer exist,
Is there anyone who can give me some advices in recovering the lost data on that disk.

If your XP is still running you may have to do the System Restore. the worse is that your HD must be having some bad sectors and must be re-formatted. anyways just consult your technician to be more safe.
