Guide #1: How to recover formatted partition in Windows 10?

Formatting / reformatting a partition is an easy and common operation for most computer users, for it can be done in File Explorer, Disk Management, Command Prompt or third-party disk partition software. Sometimes, users format a partition for the purpose of changing file system type, freeing up disk space, repairing partition errors, while sometimes users may format important partition by mistake. Whatever the reason, the outcome of partition formatting is data loss. Thus, all of us should carry out formatting operation carefully, for example, make sure important files have been backed up. Fortunately, it is not difficult to recover lost files from formatted partition with the help of effective partition recovery applications.

Note: Do not make changes to the formatted drive before recovery, such as reformat drive, resize partition, save files to the drive, etc. otherwise lost files will be affected or even get damaged.

Step 1. In DiskGenius, select the formatted partition and click File Recovery button from toolbar, as follows:

Step 2. Select "Complete Recovery" and "Search For Known File Types" and click Start button. Then DiskGenius starts to scan the partition and looks for lost data.

If you want to recover lost files which had been deleted before formatting, you can also select "Recover Deleted Files" option before clicking Start.

Guide #2: How to recover data from RAW partition in Windows 10?

RAW partition recovery should be one of the most frequently used functions of partition recovery applications, for partitions on external hard disk or other removable devices are easy to get corrupted, for example, a partition may become RAW because of sudden power failure, unplug disk without using Safely Remove media, file system corruption, etc. A RAW partition cannot be recognized by Windows, and thus it cannot be accessed anymore. How to retrieve files from RAW, inaccessible, unformatted or corrupted partitions? Here is a detailed instruction of RAW partition recovery.

Step 1. Load partition intelligently.

DiskGenius provides a function to quickly retrieve lost files from corrupted NTFS partitions: Load Current Partition Intelligently. When NTFS partition turns to RAW file system due to file system corruption or logical bad sectors, you can try this function to load lost data without any scanning.

Select the RAW drive in DiskGenius, and click Tools > Load Current Partition Intelligently, as follows.

It takes a couple of seconds to complete loading files. If your files can be loaded by this function, you can copy and save them to a save location; if not, you need to perform a complete scanning of the RAW partition (see step 2).

Step 2. Select the RAW partition again and click File Recovery button from toolbar.

Then a Recover File button will show up, as follows. Now you need to click Start button to scan the drive.

Step 3. Preview and save files.

Guide #3: How to recover deleted / lost partitions in Windows 10?

Partitions is logical divisions on storage devices, and they hold files and folder for users. If a partition gets lost, files will be gone together. How does a partition get lost? Actually, there are quite a few factors causing partition loss issue, for example, damaged partition table, accidental deletion, disk repartitioning, bad sectors, etc.

Is lost partition recovery possible? Fortunately, in most cases, it is possible to recover deleted or lost partitions in Windows 10/8/7 and Windows servers. Why? When a partition gets deleted, system only removes it from partition table instead of wiping all sectors occupied by the partition. Windows mounts partitions by way of getting information like partition location, size and type from partition table, and the deleted partition won't be shown in File Explorer since its information has been removed from partition table.

DiskGenius is powerful software to recover lost or deleted partition and the recovery process is quite easy. Let's take a look at how it works:

Step 1. Select the disk where lost partitions were located and click Partition Recovery button from toolbar. Then click Start button from the pop-up window "Search for Lost Partitions".

Partition recovery is designed to search for lost partitions from hard disk, removable disks, virtual disk, RAID, etc. You can set searching range among Whole Disk, All Free Space and The Selected Space, and you can custom cylinder range by entering exact numbers.

Step 2. Reserve needed partitions and Ignore incorrect partitions.

You will be asked to choose Reserve or Ignore once a partition is found, as follows. How to make the decision? First, you can preview files in the found partition, by which you'll be able to judge if this is one of the lost partitions you want to restore. If the partition is correct then choose Reserve, otherwise click Ignore.

Note:

1. You need to choose Reserve or Ignore each time a partition is found until the searching process completes.

2. Partitions Reserved in this process are just saved to memory instead of partition table, thus, they are not actually recovered.

Step 3. Click OK button when DiskGenius finishes scanning.

If you are not satisfied with the scanning result, for example, reserved a wrong partition, you can click Partition Recovery button to rescan the disk for lost partitions.

Step 4. Save partition table: Disk > Save Partition Table.

Once partition table is saved correctly, lost partitions will be mounted and show up in Windows File Explorer.

If you are not willing to change current partition table, you can choose not to save partition table. In this case, you can just copy and save needed files to a different disk and get lost data recovered.

Tips to increase success rate of lost partition recovery:

• Do not make changes to the disk after partition loss. Actions such as reformatting, repartition disk, create new partition, store data to the drive, install OS, etc. are likely to cause data overwrite and make lost partitions and files unrecoverable.
• Do not repair bad sectors. Bad sectors repairing will cause permanent damage to data.
• Use a reliable partition recovery program to search for lost partitions. If you choose paid recovery software, then try the trial version first to check if it works on your case before purchasing a license key.
