adk66,

Can you please supply a bit more information?

How many physical hard disks are in the machine? What operating system was on it? Have you any idea why it failed? Did it make any noises before it failed?

If you were using windows, it is possible that your C:\ and D:\ drives are partitions on a single drive which would probably show up as sda1.

Hmmm .....

Sounds like a really badly hugely borked harddisk to me ...

Don't we just really love solving riddles like this ?
