Regain Entire Partition Data

“I was working on my computer and suddenly something went wrong and it got shut down. When I restarted the system, one of the partitions was showing an error message ‘partition is corrupted and unreadable’. I tried manual way to repair corrupted partition using Command Prompt, but it did not help me to overcome the issue. What bothering me is complete data saved on that partition as it is very important and it has become inaccessible now. Is there any way that could help me to restore whole partition from my Windows computer?”

A partition on your Windows computer hard drive is a space which is used for storing, organizing and managing data. It is basically the framework of your computer hard disk that controls everything and goes according to your command. But as described in above situation, one might lose due to any reason.

Hence, you would most likely need a tool that is made for reestablishing those parameters.

Circumstance that result in losing partition from your computer:

  • Accidental Deletion of Partition: To manage data, you might decide to create one more partition on your Windows computer hdd. But at the time of creating partition using “Disk Management” utility, you may mistakenly give command to delete partition instead of extending it

When partition turns RAW, memory bar of the partition shows that it holds all files but when you right click and check its properties it will display free and used space as 0 bytes
  • Unintentional Formatting: If you have partition that contains several unwanted files, then you may choose to format in order to recuse. Few users prefer to format partition using Command Prompt or “Disk Management Utility”.
