Recovery Manager deleted all partitions, how to recover data?

Hi,
I have Pavilion g6 2203et, with Windows8.
I had a 600+GB C: (system) drive and a 15GB D: (recovery) drive.
I created a new 300GB partition (P: ) by shrinking C: to 300GB.
So, i had 3 partitions, C:300gb, D:15GB, P:300GB.
I have done some wrong configuration with my custom software and i wanted to reset Windows8 installation by using Recovery Manager.
It prompted me to backup my data, but i thought "my all private data is in P drive, so its safe" and did not backed any data up.
I clicked the button to start recovery process, and i realized that it will wipe all partitions (I read the todo list).
I was on the first step (formatting drive step), i couldn't find any "cancel" button, so i have force computer to shutdown by pressing power button 4 seconds.
After that, it was unable to boot.
I had a tool to check partitions and it showed all 600gb space is unallocated.
15gb recovery drive is there though.
What can i do for saving my private data (that was on drive p)?
Thanks in advance...

Recovering the data on the P: partition is going to be a slim to none chance at this point. Sorry.
Conventional methods wont' work in this case. It will need a professional data recovery service performed, but it is not guaranteed to be of any success.
If the data is important, the cost of taking it to a professional data recovery service may be worth it.
If you do decide to pursue with a data recovery service, I recommend not using that hard drive for anything else. The more it is written to, the smaller the chance of data retrieval.
There are programs out there designed to do this, but I am not certain of how much they cost and I don't have experience with them to guide you through the use of them.
Just to note, a recovery cannot be stopped once it is officially started. Any recovery, not just by HP, will repartition the hard drive back to the original factory image. This means the C: partition will always be returned to the original size and any partitions made by resizing C: will be lost.
Once the data is retrieved, if that option is pursued, you will need to let the recovery finish to get the original OS and software back.

  • Toshiba Recovery-CD deleted all partitions on Satelitte M50-181

    Hello,
    After i discovered that other images than the OEM-Image of Windows XP don't have driver support for my Satelitte M50-181 Notebook i decided to install the old OEM-Version.
    I had also installed an ubuntu linux, grub as bootloader.
    After inserting the recovery-cd there was no questioning what i wanted to do. The recovery process started automatically deleting all partitions and creating one big NTFS-Partiotion ITERATING OVER ALL CONNECTED DEVICES (ipod, 500GB backup disk).
    WHY THE HELL IS THIS POSSIBLE? WHAT CAN I DO?
    Regards,
    Cornelius

    I did not get any screen showing any options.
    After i booted from cd the process started directly. I believe it has something to do with the non standard boot loader... but i don't and don't want to know.
    The fact is that i have none of any existing partion i had created before. Not on the internal disk, not on my backup drive.
    Even if there had been a screen it is not even nearly explainable why this tool did this without any further confirmation and primarily why it did this iterating over all other devices.
    The question is, what i do now, not what it caused.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iphone says ive got 3.9gb of messages saved in usage, but ive deleted all messages. how do i find these saved messages

    Firstly you DO NOT have to do a factory reset / wipe device, it is simply not required to get the space back!!
    Mine had 3GB and I just got rid of it all, here is how:
    METHOD ONE:
    Make a backup in iTunes
    open iBackupBot (Google it)
    Go to the relevant backup
    Click on Multimedia File Manager and click on the other Multimedia files tab
    Sort by filename by clicking the Filename tab
    Find MediaDomain/Library/SMS/Attachments and highlight all of them, then press delete.  You can also click to export to a folder of your choice, if you want to save them that is. 
    Then go to System Files>MediaDomain>Library>SMS>Attachments
    They will be all listed here, highlight them all and press delete
    Then just restore that backup using iTunes! 
      Tadaa! Space recovered, your messages are still there but without the attachments!  METHOD TWO:
    Backup your device in iTunes and then to iCloud
    Go to Settings>iCloud and toggle Documents & Data to OFF
    Then do a 2nd backup to iTunes and iCloud
    Then restore the device from iCloud and the message attachments should be gone, turn Documents & Data back on again in the settings
    PLEASE NOTE: Method two is a much longer process but some users may feel more comfortable with this method.
    P.S You may want to make two backups in case you get any of the above steps wrong, but it is simple to follow the above and not do anything wrong!
    P.P.S You could also just go through every single conversation and delete the attachments one by one, but if you have hundreds or thousands of attachments, this will take a VERY LONG TIME!!!

  • How to recover data in iPhoto?

    How to recover data from iphoto?

    I haven't done any conscious backup.
    Time to start. Now. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a seat belt. You'll be fine as long as nothing goes wrong, but if something does go wrong it'll be a much bigger mess.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Profile Manager deleted all of my files - not just the profile. Any tips on what happened and how to resolve?

    I created a profile with Profile Manager. It dumped a lot of files into the directory that I selected. At that point I wanted to delete the profile and the associated files. When I selected the Delete Profile and Delete Files option it delete all files and folders in the directory - not just the profile files. It offered no warning that it was going to delete more than the profile files. Why did it do this and is there a way to recover the missing files? OS = Windows 7.

    You should never select a folder to be used as profile folder that already has files in it.<br />
    You should always choose a new and empty folder because you can use the Profile Manager to take up an existing profile by choosing the location.<br />
    Removing the profile and opting to delete the files will remove all the files in that folder and remove the folder as well, so be cautious with doing that.

  • Erased Windows Partition, how to recover?

    I just accidentally erased all of the data on my windows Partition, and need to un-erase it...
    The partition is still there, and I erased it with the lowest security options, the one called "Don't erase data" which it says just deletes everything used to access the data, and that it can be recovered with data recovery software...
    The problem is that it's format is Windows NT Filesystem (compressed), and therefore I think that normal mac data recovery programs will not work...
    So what should I do?
    I checked out Data Rescue 3, but it won't let me recover to my mac partition because it is on the same drive... Besides I doubt it would work because I formatted it as NTFS....
    Should I try to run windows recovery software through crossover?
    Is there mac software that will let me recover files on an NTFS drive?
    HELP!!!!!

    /usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists
    You have a weird partition table (grub have no place to put itself after the MBR); Normally the first partition begin not before sector 63. What's the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda. If /dev/sda1 is your small boot partition and is at the beginning of the disk, just delete it and that should work. Otherwise install an MBR in /dev/sda (I think you can do it with lilo -M or the file mbr.bin in syslinux or ms-sys) make your root partition bootable and force instal grub in your root partition (grub-install --force /dev/sda2) and make core.img immutable.You can also repartition with gparted.

  • Installing clean Win 8.1 on X1- is it safe to delete all partitions first?

    I have created a Windows 8.1 installation USB drive using the Microsoft tool and am going to install it on my X1 (gen 2), but wanted to check if it's safe to delete all 6 partitions on the drive using the installation and let the Windows installer recreate the required Microsoft reserved partition?
    The first 1000MB partition is the one I am concerned about- should I leave that alone? I can't fine any confirmed details about what it's used for.
    I have created a Lenovo recovery drive as well in case it goes wrong.
    Thanks!

    If everything is on your computer, as it should be, then you are safe.
    Not sure what you want.
    Your iphone simply mirros the selected content of your computer.  If all of your content is on your computer, then it will be on your iphone.

  • How to recover data from an External HDD partition crash?

    i was partitioning my external HDD into two partition with pre existing data on one portion to make a time maching on the other one. it crashed in the process and now i have lost 500gb of media. help

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • Time Machine "Delete all Backups" doesn't recover space

    I recently deleted several iDVD and iMovie projects (>12GB) and disk images (4GB). Thinking I would recover all this HD space, I entered Time Machine, selected an old version of that file that TM had backed up, and then used the "Delete all Backups" command to get rid of them. However, instead of gaining space, I actually lost space on my TM backup drive!! It was as if TM had subtracted space instead of adding it back to my available space! Ex: Before deleting, I had 50GB available on TM backup drive. After deleting @24GB of projects, I expected to have @70-74GB available. However, I now have only 34GB!!
    I searched for these named files in TM history, and they are not there. Why didn't TM give back that space??
    Thx,
    Pengueen

    Thanks for replying. Yes, that was the first thing I checked. The files were no longer in Trash. I have since added other files to Trash, deleted them, and ran TM again. No changes. Is there any way to travel back in TM's logs to see what it did on that day? I found entries for "backupd" in the Console log, but they do not go back far enough (I need May 18, and it goes back only a couple of days).
    Thanks!

  • How do I set a date line in my email so I can delete all msgs before a certain date?

    i have thousands of emails downloaded and i want to delete all but the most recent couple months..but i can't figure out how to insert the date line in the display so I can delete all prior to that date (I used to be able to do that on my Razor Maxx)

        sharonnyc,
    We would love to investigate into assisting you with getting the correct emails deleted. What make/model device do you currently have? What email program are you trying to delete the emails from (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, etc...)? Also, are you using the standard email application on the device or a downloaded 3rd party email app?

  • How do I delete all of the documents and data/progress in an app through Apple/iTunes?

    I don't mind if I have to delete and reinstall an app to do it but so far that hasn't worked, I'd like to delete all the data asociated with an app from my iPod permanently - it seems to be impossible to do on the app so is there a way to do it through Apple/iTunes? Thx

    Hey lab1950,
    If you check out page 44 of the iPod touch user guide, it says that to delete a song from an iPod touch with iOS 6.1, swipe the song, then tap Delete. This also works with Albums or Artists if you want to delete multiple songs at once.

    one access old Backups from Windows XP?
    Will the NtBackupRestore program be updated to be compatible with Windows 7? plz help................................

    Yes, you need to first install Removable Storage Management software before installing NT-Backup.exe in Windows 7. To know more about restoring backup file, you can read this post: http://belanalavade.blog.com/2014/04/15/how-to-repair-damaged-bkf-file/
    Berdooook
    No.  You do not need to install Removable Storage Management in Windows 7 to read NT backups!
    You go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974674 and download the package for Windows 7 that Microsoft has published specifically for this!
