How to Recover Data from Lost Partition?

Partitions get errors? Recover data from lost, damaged or formatted partition in no time. Sometimes, a partition isn't listed under My computer, even in Disk Management. You may be lost in diverse reasons: a partition is damaged due to system malfunction; a partition may be attacked by a dangerous virus; a partition is deleted accidentally; or system is reinstalled suddenly and so much more. No matter what reason causes the disaster, there’s no doubt that you need to salvage important data from lost partition immediately.

In most cases, data that appears to be lost from missing partition is actually still there and completely intact. You fail to access the data because path is lost. Faced with data gone with lost partition, some people may be so panic that they try to use several recovery tools to retrieve data without serious consideration. However, lost data can be damaged by such operations due to improper operation. I hope you can take below tips into consider before taking any action.
  1. Stop any action involved "write" once errors found. This is the most important issue. There’re many actions involved write, such as saving new files, creating new files, and deleting files. What’s more, even normal operating system can generate many operations which have bad impact on lost data, such as temporary files, web caching, document access logs, system logs, etc.
  2. Do not format. Data will be initialized after formatted, which is a deadly damage to lost data.
