How to Recover Deleted or Lost Partition in 3 steps

1. The partition table has been lost or is broken. Users can view information about partitions thanks to this component. If the partition is mechanically corrupted, it will appear to be lost. Additionally, you won't be able to read data from this partition. But if you act quickly and correctly, you can recover a deleted partition.

2. Mistaken partition deletion You can delete an important partition by mistake or clean the wrong part of the disk accidentally.

3. Changing the size of the partition. O course you can adjust the size of disk partitions, but it’s quite risky and can lead to a bunch of mistakes, so it’s best not to do it.

4. Some corrupted tracks or bad sectors. If there are plenty of bad, damaged, or corrupted sectors on the disk partition, it will be marked as unreadable.

5. Unpredictable system shutdown. If your system shuts down unexpectedly on a regular basis, don’t be surprised if your partition or partitions are not visible.

6. Corruption of the operating or file system for various reasons, including virus infection, can lead to partition loss. Like the above reasons, if your operating system or file system is corrupted, the hard drive will not be able to function as normal. Under this circumstance, the partition may disappear without notice. Unfortunately, if your computer was infected with the virus-encoder, that encrypts the disk content with the crypto-resistant algorithm. This is impossible to fix even with the most powerful recovery tool made by Diskinternals.

Partition Recovery on the Mac

The procedure for recovering a deleted partition is much the same, although it necessitates the installation of certain additional Mac applications. Parallels Desktop serves as the ideal illustration. This straightforward utility enables you to run any Windows-only program on your Mac, including the Diskinternals partition recovery tool.

Why Time Matters

It is advisable to make backups and disk images in order to prevent a variety of issues. Don't hesitate to try to restore your data from your disk image or backups if you believe that part of it has been lost or corrupted. Your chances of success will increase the sooner you begin the partition table recovery process.

For example, if the partition is corrupted because of bad blocks, the combination of factors that caused the bad blocks needs some time to destroy your data. If you start the lost partition recovery process right after you discover there is something wrong with your data, some kinds of logical bad blocks can even be corrected with the Partition Recovery™ by Diskinternals.

1. 1. Do data backups regularly. Better if some software will do it for you every day. Sounds a bit crazy; who will ever do this? But the point is that if you have your data backed up with the undamaged partition, it is much easier to do hard drive partition recovery if something happens.
2. 2. Make sure that your hardware has a stable electricity flow and good protection from voltage failure.
3. 3. If you discovered any problems with the disk, you need to format it because formatting will create the disk markup without the bad sectors. Afterward, the new bad sectors will appear and cause failures in data storage. To get rid of the problems, you will need to format the disk again and again.
4. 4. Do malware checks regularly and automatically, ideally right after backing up your data and creating the disk image.
5. 5. Keep your hard disks in special, protected places to avoid mechanical corruption.
