Default Is drive corrupted / dying?

This morning I had a power failure and I dont have a UPS.
OS is Win98SE
On reboot, I found that a bunch of files and folders had disappeared from my
D drive (20Gb Maxtor) including my email message store, phones books etc.
and 10Gb of stored photos.
The drive seems to be working fine now, but explorer shows it as having
670mb of used space only and 19+Gb free.
Any suggestions as to what might have happened, and is there anything I can
do to retrieve the missing data? Is this drive on the way out or does the
problem lie elsewhere?
TIA
Nick.
