Next PROBLEM: Format not supported on drive D:

The problem is that the HD of this PC is compressed using Stacker3.1 . 
Stacker makes a new directory d: with uncompressed information about
the unstacked volume c: .
The problem is that the user deleted the files on that drive (after 
saving them on a diskette luckely).
The PC didn't startup anymore unless I used a bootdisk and then again it
didn't recognize the d: drive.

Message :    Not ready reding drive D
             Abort, Retry, Fail?

When I try to access a nonexisting drive, ex. e:, it says:

Message :   invalid drive specification

So I think there must be something in, about or on, that drive d:


Support people from stacker advised me to do:
     format d:\
or   format d:

Therefore I needed FORMAT.COM of DOS6.0
But now I get this message:

       Format not supported on drive D:
       Format terminated.

When I go: format d:\
I get the message:    Parameter format not correct - d:\
So I think that that is a misunderstanding from the support people.

Can somebody give me some further advise please.
We really need to get to the files of this computer.
