Nakatomi2010 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I had a 160GB drive with 150GB worth of data and I accidentallly deleted the partition, and then Windows XP created a new one, but DID NOT format the drive, is there anything I can use, perferrably free, which will allow me to recover all the data which was stored there?Currently I'm using a trial version of Active Partition Recovery, though it seems to be taking for EVER to analyze the drive...The drive is a 160GB SATA150 Hitachi Deskstar, and was formatted using NTFS... The partition was deleted through the Windows XP x64 Edition's text setup...
Lost Soul Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 ive never had this problem but i think this tool can help you but its not free Handy Recovery 2.0Handy Recovery 2.0 is an easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from hard disks and floppy drives. The program can recover files damaged by virus attacks, power failures and software faults or files from deleted and formatted partitions. If some program does not use Recycle Bin when deleting files, Handy Recovery can restore such files. It can also recover files moved to Recycle Bin after it has been emptied.
rjz Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 If the data is real important do nothing to the hd and call a hd recovery service. I can recomded one if you need it.What did you do exactly?

atomizer Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 there are a pile of data recovery programs, many freeware. i'm not really familiar with any of them so i won't recommend one. just do a search.
IcemanND Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I use Ontracks EasyRecovery DataRecovery software, works great but not free.

Zxian Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 I'd recommend Test Disk. It saved my butt a few days ago... I thought I lost everything on my laptop. Test Disk brought it all back.
