Deleted partition by accident MUST recover

I had a hard drive that I put in an external enclosure for USB 2.0 and used it on my Mac
Its 320 GB. I had half partitioned for NTFS and half free. I wanted to make a mac partition out of the free part and somehow ended up partitioning the whole drive as free space. I have data I must recover. I tried hooking it up to windows and using Partition Magic's Recover Partition feature with no luck.

Glad to help.

  • Recovering deleted partitions in Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core

    I was expanding one of my drive (Drive A) partitions to use space available on another drive (Drive B) and then I wanted to delete the extension so I clicked on the second drive (Drive B) and deleted that partition.  What I didn't realize is that
    would delete the entire partition on Drive A.  Now that I have screwed up I desperately need to recover the partition.  I ran the free tool TestDisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) but it did not see the deleted partition.  Can someone
    point me in the right direction for recovering the partition and or data?

    Well I was able to fully recover the deleted partion and restore the Hyper-V VM's and figured I would share the steps I took to recover.
    Deleted Partition Recovery
    Do not reboot the machine because the MBR will be commited permanately.
    Use a partition recover tool (I used Active@ partition recovery) to recover the
    deleted partion.
    Restore the MBR which should be the backup MBR at this point (not 100% sure on
    this).
    If you did reboot and you cannot restore the MBR then you may have to backup the
    files from the deleted partition and recreate the partition manually. This was the case for me.
    Use a file reovery tool (I used Active@ File Recovery)  to backup the deleted
    files.
    Recreate the Partition manually and restore from the backup.
    Hyper-V Virtual HardDisk Restore
    Restore the .VHD and .AVHD from the backups.
    Because you restored from backup the ACL (Access Control List) entries will be
    wiped and you will have to remove the hard drives from the virtual machine and reattach them.  Re-attaching the .VHD will recreate the appropriate ACL entries.  Worst case scenario you will have to recreate the VM and attach the hard drive.  
    Remove the Virtual Hard Drive from the Virtual machine via Hyper-V Manager.
    If there are Snapshot files you must first merge them back into the main .VHD
    Change the extension of the most recent .AVHD to .VHD.
    From Hyper-V Manager select Edit Disk and browse to the newly renamed Snapshot
    and use the Merge option to merge it with its parent disk.  The merge wizard will automatically select the appropriate parent to merge with.  Take a note of this name because you will have to repeat the process on this file.  In Hyper-V Versions
    prior to 2008 R2 you may have to manually select the parent, in this case you will need to figure it out yourself but fortuanately you can sort by date and go from latest to oldest in order.
    Repeat the above process with each successive Snapshot until you have merged with
    the main .VHD for the VM.
    Reattach the .VHD file which will restore the Hyper-V ACL entries.
    Start the VM.
    If you get the following error when logging in to the VM “The trust relationship
    between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed.”  You will need to remove the machine from the domain and readd it to the domain via the local administrator account. 

  • How to recover files from a deleted partition?

    Unfortunately, my OSX was not booting and I deleted my partition. Through the Internet Recovery mode I reinstalled the original OSX Mountain Lion it came with. I then upgraded to Maverick. I know that deleting a partition practically means all files are lost. I heard that files can be recovered on a Windows when a partition is deleted. Is there any way I can recover files from a partition that was deleted just a day ago?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is possible to recover deleted partition or volume on Mac. Previously I was able to recover all my data lost due to accidental deletion of partition on my Mac PC by using recover Mac data software. This tool is really helpful, here you can download this tool.

    I've deleted the partition from the Hard Disk that doesn't have the Operating System but it had all my data doc files, excel files, JPEC files,....etc.

    Deleted contact by accident. Can I recover it?

    If you have iCloud it is possible that you could get the calendars back if the calendars are sent to the cloud and to your device. If you sync your calendars to your computer you could sync the calendars saved on your computer if you backed up recently.

  • What is the best way to restore very recently deleted partition ?, What is the best way to restore very recently deleted partition ?

    Can anyone please advise the best course of action here:
    I time machined what I thought to be my Mac Pro 1,1 but actually backed up my Macbook Pro 3,1
    I was having problems with main hdd and repair was not working so i deleted partition... and when i ran time machine realised i had not backed up from march.
    Is there anyway to revert to that partitioning or restore it? Any programs?
    Or do I just have to recover the lost files ?

    If the lost data is of high value to you, consider sending the drive to a professional recovery service such as DriveSavers. Otherwise, there's little hope, but some have had at least partial success with a product called "Data Rescue."

  • I deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

    i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

    PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band.  PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back.  You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition.  Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction.  NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

  • Deleting partitions

    Is sit possible to delete partitions and leave data intact?
    Or must I back up each partition and then erase the HDD and restire data.
    One partition is my boot partition (Lion 10.7.3) , another is uTunes , a third is data and the last is Snow Leopard.
    In total  almost a TB.
    Computer is an iMac 24unch, (2006 model), shortly to be replaced by a 27 inch iMac current model

    Deleting a partition will erase the data on it. In addition, the Disk Utility can't change the starting point of an existing partition.

  • F table deletion - partitions

    Hi there
    Vi have an InfoCube which load data wery often (a few records every 5 minutes). This has resulet in a very large number of partitions on the F table (around 25000) which is killing us when doing database statistics.
    I copied all data to another InfoCube which now contain all the data. However when trying to delete the data in the origianl cube it does a truncate action in the oracle database, which does not remove the partitions. Is there a way to do this?
    Is it possible to delete the table using SE11 and transport it again from development?
    Chris

    Not sure how much overhead the SAP Drop Empty Partition pgm adds to the database process of dropping the partitions.  The only thing I can think of would be to get the list of empty partitions (imagine they must get it from DBA_TAB_PARTITIONS) and put together your own SQL to drop the partitions or perhaps multiple stmts that could be run in parallel.
    Never thrilled about running something outside of the SAP environment, because you can never be 100% sure they don't update something somewhere.  Haven't really lloked at teh SAP Drop pgm to see what else it might be doing besides a partition drop.
    Don't know if the partition drop time could be improved if the partitions were not buffered. The DB must take some time to make sure that there are no rows in the buffer that it must worry about.  Also, have DB statistics been updated since the deletion?  If they haven't been, the DB may not realize the partitions are not empty, which then forces it to check the buffer before dropping.  A good DBA might be able to tell you if the partition drop process is affected by either stats that don't reflect that the partition is empty or buffering. I just don't know for sure.

  • Recovery on a Satellite A100 (PSAA9) - Deleted partitions and XP Home not Pro

    We recently had trouble with our laptop and decided to restore it back to manufacturer settings with the recovery Media CD. My son decided to do it and when he booted up the program he chose the Delete partitions option instead of overwrite.
    Now it has completely formatted the HD removing the OS (Windows XP Pro).
    When I bought the laptop it came with WXP Pro already installed and just has the Certification Sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
    Is there anyway that I can receive a Windows XP Pro installation CD?

    Generally all Satellite notebook models are delivered with WXP Home or Media Center Edition operating system. Toshiba has Satellite Pro series and under this name you can get WXP Pro operating system.
    Can you tell us which model you have exactly A100-xxx?
    If your notebook was in showroom by the dealer it is possible they have used own OS installation instead of delivered recovery media.
