Deleted partition help?

Post by paulrichards7 » Sat Jan 22, 2011 4:29 pm

I was re-installing windows on my laptop and forgot I had my external hard drive connected
I hit L to delete that partition, then realized what I did
I now cant seem to access my external hard drive
Is there any way of recovering it as i havent formatted it or written over it?
Please help, its all of my backed up files from 7 plus years back
Thanks
Paul

i did that. I used Easeus' free utility Partition Recovery to recover the partition. In my case, it worked great, and afterward, all of my data was visible and intact. Phew. I'm not an expert on this and don't know much about the company, but it worked for me. YMMV. Best of luck.
