Recovering Deleted Partitions
Hi guys, formatted my pc the other day n i accidently deleted a partition in the set up i wasnt supposed to, any one know of a program that can recover these files (hopefully just restore the partition) as i have alot of work on this drive
[edit] Prefiby free applications, i know of one or two that can rebuild your partition record, but they cost money [/edit]

gpart is your best bet. It is a GNU/Linux program made to guess the partition table if it has been overwritten. I've used it before and it can really save the day. It won't work if you've used reiser4 partitions, but I'm not sure about NTFS. Either way the best way to use it is to download a linux live CD, such as Knoppix which I know has it installed, and run it from there.

Sorry, i need a windows program, but i was thinking, could i just use Partition Magic, write a new partition (they usualy take up the same space?) then use one of the free file recovery tools, will that work with out any data loss?

Next time around you should be very careful in analyzing your harddrives, especially when it comes to partitioning.. It's really not that hard if you know what you are doing but if you no experience regarding this try to ask somebody else...
I agree with Archangel-13 try to use it, but If you want a friendly user use PARTITION MAGIC 7.0 or higher, or to search in google...
Ill try to search for you..
wait for my post

ok thanks for your help all, but i couldnt really find anything to good for free to recover the partition, but i did buy some software, its called GetDataBack, the trial version lets you do everything except recover the files, least its better the 5000word assignment down the drain :/

GNU Public licence software...............it will do several OSes and filetypes, but you need to d/l the right version.
The site may be worth a visit by others to add to their "toolkits"
Good Luck Mate!
