| Post subject: | Recovering deleted partitions |
A friend of mine managed to delete his primary partition (near as I can tell) on a 1.5 TB drive . Its an OEM HP, with at least 2 other partitions on the drive (though I'm thinking this is virus action, in which case it could have created one of the other partitions just to prevent me from recreating the old one). The Third is a recovery partition. What are people having luck with for rebuilding deleted partitions these days? |

I haven't had to do this in quite a while, but it looks like some are having success with this: http://findandmount.com/ I've personally never used it. MS also has granular steps to recover one, but you have to know exact specs (which you probably don't have) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245725 Quote: To Recover a Deleted NTFS Volume Re-create the exact same volume but choose not to format it. This may be difficult if you do not remember the exact size you had created originally, especially because the Disk Management snap-in tends to round partition sizes. Using Dskprobe.exe, recover the backup boot sector for the NTFS volume from the end of the volume. Because it is a dynamic volume you may need to use Dmdiag.exe to help find the backup boot sector, or search for it by using Dskprobe.exe (on the Tools menu, click Search Sectors). After rewriting the NTFS boot sector, quit Dskprobe. In Disk Management, click Rescan Disks on the Action menu. This should mount the volume for immediate use. Let's just hope your friend hasn't written a single byte of data to the borked partition, or he's probably screwed. |

This is probably the tool you're looking for: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk It might be part of SystemRescueCD, but I don't remember. Edit: yes, it is. I highly recommend using SystemRescueCDfor data recovery operations. This is not a job for Windows. |
