If you have important data on the harddrive then you will need some type of data/file recovery software/utility.

how many physical hard drives do you have?
how were they set up with or with out partitions.
if it is a single drive partitioned in to c: and D:
run scandisk in safe mode to see if it can fix the
problem.
also get the hard drive manufactures diagnostic
program and test the drives to see if there is a problem.

if you have two physical drives and drive two is your
d: drive do the same but also check the drive cable
and power connector.

also you should look at your bios settings to see if
all the drives are being detected.
