Partition Is Deleted Accidently in Windows 10, 8, 7? Recover it Now!
Geeks - Accidentally deleting a partition on a computer running Windows 10, 8, or 7 can be a frustrating and potentially costly experience. Whether you deleted the partition while trying to clean up your hard drive or it was deleted as the result of a software or system error, it's important to act quickly to try and recover the lost data. In this article, we'll explore some methods you can use to recover a deleted partition and the data it contained.
One of the first things you should do if you've accidentally deleted a partition is to stop using the computer immediately. Any additional activity on the hard drive could potentially overwrite the data that you're trying to recover, making it much more difficult (or even impossible) to get it back.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to recover a deleted partition is to use a reliable data recovery software. There are many options available, both free and paid, that can scan your hard drive and search for lost or deleted partitions. Some of the more popular data recovery tools include Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and MiniTool Partition Wizard.
To use these tools, you'll need to download and install them on a separate computer and then connect your hard drive as an external drive. The software will then scan the hard drive and display any recoverable partitions that it finds. You can then select the partition you want to recover and follow the software's instructions to recover the data.
Another option for recovering a deleted partition is to use the Windows built-in Disk Management tool. This tool allows you to create, delete, format, and manage partitions on your hard drive. To access it, right-click on the Start menu and select "Disk Management" from the menu.
If the deleted partition is still listed in the Disk Management tool, you may be able to recover it by right-clicking on it and selecting "Change Drive Letter and Paths." From there, you can assign a drive letter to the partition and access it like any other drive.
If the deleted partition is not listed in the Disk Management tool, you can try using the command prompt to recover it. To do this, open the command prompt as an administrator and type the following command: "diskpart." This will open the DiskPart utility, which allows you to perform various disk-related tasks from the command line.
Once the DiskPart utility is open, type the command "list volume" and press Enter. This will display a list of all the volumes on your hard drive. Look for the volume that corresponds to the deleted partition and make note of its volume number.
Next, type the command "select volume X" (replace "X" with the volume number of the deleted partition) and press Enter. This will select the deleted partition as the active volume.
Finally, type the command "assign letter=X" (replace "X" with a drive letter of your choice) and press Enter. This will assign the drive letter to the deleted partition, allowing you to access it like any other drive.
Recovering a deleted partition can be a challenging process, and there's no guarantee that you'll be able to recover all of the data that was stored on it. However, by following the steps outlined above and using reliable data recovery software, you can increase your chances of successfully recovering the lost data.
