Lost partitions upgrading from NT4 to 2000

[Peter Hucker]

I upgraded from NT4 to windows 2000 on a PC with 2 hard disks. First disk contained 2GB NTFS (where
NT4 was installed), 2GB FAT16, 2GB FAT16. Second disk contained 4GB NTFS.

After one of the first reboots during the installation process, it acted like there was nothing on
the disks and would not start (asked me for a boot floppy).

Couldn't repair it using windows 2000 or windows NT setup CD. put disks in another 2000 machine, it
said no partitions defined. Put disks in another NT4 machine, it saw all the partitions but they
were unformatted. Norton utils for NT (latest version) couldn't find anything as the feile system
was unrecognised.

I beleive it screwed up while converting the partitions to NTFS5.

Any idea how to fix this? There is a folder of valuable data on the disks somewhere. If I can't
fix it myself, is it likely a company somewhere would do it if I paid them? And who would do this
service?
