There are three ways to repair a damaged partition: using software, transferring the hard drive to another computer, or using an automatic backup program. Deleting a partition or file does not erase the data, and a system restore should be attempted immediately. If partition repair is still needed, shut down the computer and use a partition repair program or transfer the hard drive to another computer.
There are three different ways to perform a partition repair on a computer system and each method is highly effective if the correct measures are taken. Most users will probably find that the easiest way to repair a damaged or missing partition would be to purchase a software program that can automatically detect files. Others may find it easier to transfer the hard drive to another computer to copy the damaged files. Some situations may also allow an automatic backup program to recover your data automatically. The main thing to remember is not to use the computer system at all until one of the methods is done correctly.
It’s a common myth that deleting a partition on a computer system actually deletes the data stored there. All information is still on the drive after a critical failure. The computer just doesn’t recognize it as usable data.
The same can be said when files are deleted from the recycle bin or other locations; it is still physically present but the computer marks it as no longer important. Until something else is saved to that location, the deleted partition or file will be safe for later recovery. This is why a system restore should be attempted immediately when partition repair is needed. It helps ensure that critical files are not accidentally overwritten.
The problem is that the user has little control over where his computer saves a file within a partition, and completing almost any task could cause the file to be unintentionally deleted forever. If partition repair is still needed after system recovery, the best course of action would be to shut down the computer completely and leave it off until a recovery method is decided. Both of the following methods are simple to use, but require the use of a second computer or hard drive.
Perhaps the easiest method would be to purchase a partition repair program which will attempt to fix the problem automatically. As long as the application has somewhere to save the data it retrieves, it will work successfully over 75% of the time. To implement this method, the computer user must insert the disk containing the partition repair software and allow it to run. Then it will search the entire hard drive and copy the found files to a separate location. From that moment, if the data was backed up successfully, the original partition can be repaired or deleted.
A similar method would be to remove the hard drive and install it in another computer system as a slave. The data could then be read from the second hard drive whether the information was erased or not. When using this method, the user must copy all relevant information from the damaged drive to the healthy one and then attempt a partition repair. Either way, as long as the lost data is saved, the system should be able to be fully restored.
