If your habits match to me and you also like to try every new OS which you hear of, then you might have lost hard disk partitions like me. Last week, my friend advised me to try CentOS and while installing this I lost my all partitions. I also never take backup of my data so there was no option but to recover my partitions. I started to surf the web and found many softwares which can help me to recover my data. If you also fall into same situations then follow these steps to recover your data completely:
- Do not format your hard disk. If you format all your data will be lost.
- First create only primary partition of the same size as previous and install your windows operating system.
- Do not create any other extended or logical partitions, if you create you'll wipe your previous data.
- After windows installation is finished, install the recovery tool Find & Mount. It can be found here. This software is available for free with the limitation of 512kb/sec data transfer. You can remove this limitation by purchasing pro version.
- There are three modes to find partitions use third mode: through scan.
- After some time you'll start seeing the partitions.
- Under found partitions your partitions will be visible. Mount those partitions and then copy all your data to any other hard disk.
- Now you are free to create your new partitions and your data is recovered.
