I have a maxtor 250gb slave drive that was partitioned into 3 parts of
about ~80 gigs each and was only used for storage (no OS or system
files).

It was getting full, so I got another 250 gig drive (seagate). I
installed windows 2000 on the seagate, and when it was starting
windows, chkdsk started running and went on something about orphan
files and moved or deleted the contents of my maxtor drive!

1 of the 3 partitions on the maxtor is not even showing up anymore.
the second partition is not accessible.
only 1 of the partitions is accessible and still has files on it
(which I have already backed up on to DVDs).

Can I restore the missing/lost files from the other two partitions??

Maybe, try some recovery software.
I like Easy Recovery Pro, but it isnt free.
