Introduction
When a hard drive partition goes missing, turns into RAW format, or becomes inaccessible, the data within it seems to vanish. This is often caused by partition table corruption, accidental deletion, or virus attacks. Fortunately, using a professional tool like MyRecover, you have a high chance of retrieving these lost partitions and data.
Why do you need a partition recovery tool?
To learn partition recovery, we should first give you an exact impression about partition. Generally, a disk is always divided into several parts, and each part is called a partition. It is very useful to divide hard disk into several partitions because each partition will work like a separate disk drive. You can use it to store different categories of data without confusion. If a hard disk only has one partition, once the partition gets lost or is deleted accidentally, all data will be lost.
In fact, there are several causes for partition loss. Some are common, while others are not. To restore a partition, it is usually necessary to understand why the loss occurred:
Accidental deletion: Unfortunately, even pros make this error since the human aspect is present in virtually all situations.
Bad sectors: They might make it difficult for the operating system to recognize a partition.
Damaged partitions: A lost partition might result from damage to the partition table caused by a virus, other malware, or an improper disc operation.
Power problems: Power outages generate power surges, which can destroy the whole hard disc and all of its partitions.
However, the thing is if there is more than one partition on the disk and one of them gets lost or is deleted, what you lost is only the data on the lost partition and data of other partitions on the disk are still there. Fortunately, if you have lost one or two partitions, you can still have them back with the partition recovery tool.
Partition Recovery is actually a tool of recovering your lost partitions that were accidentally deleted or damaged due to hardware/software failure, virus attack, or some other unknown reasons, as long as they were not formatted/overwritten after deletion. Here we will show you how to recover partitions with the Partition Recovery Wizard built-in MyRecover, which may restore partitions that were deleted a long time ago.
Prerequisites for partition recovery
- Install and launch MyRecover, which includes the Partition Recovery feature, on a Windows computer.
- Connect the disk from which you want to recover a partition to the computer and verify that the device is recognized.
- Avoid writing new data to the target disk or performing operations such as creating new partitions or formatting, as these may interfere with the recovery process.
This tool is very useful for recovering accidentally deleted partitions. If you would like to use this feature, please upgrade to a paid version.
How to Recover the Partition with MyRecover
Step 1: Click “Partition Recovery” in the Advanced Recovery section on the left. From the list of disks, select the disk containing the lost partition based on its disk number, capacity, and model. After verifying the partition layout displayed below, click “Next.”
Tip: Select the entire disk containing the lost partition. Verify the device by its name, size, and model to avoid selecting the wrong disk.
Step 2: MyRecover offers two scanning modes to find lost partitions:
Quick Scan: The recommended search method, used to quickly locate deleted or lost partitions.
Deep Scan: Scans the selected disk sector by sector, which takes relatively longer. You can try this method if the Quick Scan fails to find the target partition.
Select the scan mode you need and click the “Next” button to start.
Step 3: You can view the search progress. Please ensure a stable disk connection during the search, and wait until the search is complete to review the results.
To temporarily pause the search, click “Pause.”
To stop the search, click “Stop.”
Tip: A full search requires scanning more data, so please be patient. If the list is empty while the search is still in progress, it does not mean there are no recoverable partitions.
Step 4: Once the search is complete, you need to select the partitions you want to recover. Review the partition information in the list, check the box to the left of the target partition, and after confirming that everything is correct, click “Proceed”.
Partition: The name or identifier of the partition found.
File System: The partition's file system, such as NTFS.
Capacity: The partition's capacity, which can be compared to its capacity before it was lost.
Start Sector / End Sector: The starting and ending sectors of the partition, used to verify its location on the disk.
Flag: The partition type, such as Primary or Logical.
Tip: A "Search Complete" message means the partition search has finished, not that the partition has been recovered. Please continue after selecting a partition.
Conclusion
By following the steps above, you can easily recover lost partitions on your hard drive using MyRecover, making them visible again in the operating system. We recommend that you stop using the disk immediately after the partition is lost and run MyRecover to scan and recover it as soon as possible to maximize the success rate of partition recovery.
FAQs:
Q: What is the difference between “Partition Recovery” and “Partition Lost Recovery”?
A: “Partition Recovery” is used to search for and select lost partitions for recovery. “Partition Lost Recovery” is used to scan for file data within lost partitions.
Q: What to do if the target partition is not found?
A: Please first verify that you have selected the correct disk and check the device connections.
If the message “No partition found” appears, it means the search did not find any partitions. Click “Back” to select a different search method; if you were using “Fast Search,” switch to “Full Search,” then click “Next” to start the search again. Please verify the results based on the partition capacity, file system, and sector and ext.
