Try the following from a spare/rescue partition:

A.1) Try the most recent reiserfsprogs from
       ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs
      on your lost partitions and provide the info of
      "reiserfsck --check /lost/partition"

A.2) Try "reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /lost/partition on your
      own risk (!!!)

B) Use most recent plain kernel (> 2.4.19)

C) Provide more info in general (versions of kernel,
    reiserfsprogs, distro, credit card info ;-)
    and so on...)

D) Refer to http://www.namesys.com/support.html


You can mix the things above, but if you can, use at least the row A.1, 
C, B, A.2, always considering D before the next full report!

Best wishes,

  Manuel
