oh god I just erased my volumes accidentally

Yes, I would still think that the OP should go with Golden's post #2.

Also see my post #8 and #9 here lost partition

He replied to that post saying he was already using Easeus Data Recovery and was encouraged to proceed. I was hoping he'd see my post clarifying the difference between data Recovery and Partition Recovery.

He can still try Partition Wizard Partition Recovery Wizard - Video Help.

Yes, sometimes the OPs ask for help and then go their own way. We can't let our Blood Pressure rise because of it but keep repeating what should have been the best. Upto them to listen or not.

Ok. It seems (I was desperate) that mistake was costly. Partition recovery wizard is not retriving my data, after scanning nothing happens, I cannot even double click to explore contents.

I am willing to buy some software that can do it. Any recommendations?

EaseUS Data Recovery worked but the files lost their names and everything is very disorganized, which makes it useless.

Thanks a lot

There's a lag in information whenever you're using a forum. It sounds like OP was already under the gun, but patience is essential if you're using the forums to solve an emergent problem. It's hard to wait for someone who knows what the REAL issue is to notice a topic that he can help with among the 212 other questions.

What about this Power Data Recovery ??

Hi amoretam,

If you had simply deleted the volumes, it only deletes part of the partition table in the HDD's first sector pointing to the start sectors of those partitions and an immediate recourse to Partition Recovery Wizard as suggested by Golden and insisted by Greg (:)) would have perhaps restored your partitions easily.

Now since you had used some sort of data recovery, we are not sure in what way it could have scrambled the data in its effort to get at it.

But yet we may give it another shot.

1. Please post a screenshot of how your problem disk shows up in Windows Disk Management. (Full screen after hiding the Console Tree and action Panel with the Tool Bar buttons)

2. Also post a screenshot of how it looks in Partiton Wizard.

Yesterday was a good day for me when I had successfully tutored another OP to recover the lost partitions in his system drive. Halfway through it itself, I had referred it to you in post #12. Now that it has been successfully resolved may be you should have a look at it again and give PW another shot.

lost partition

I would advise that you power cycle your PC before you start afresh with Partition Wizard.

The only thing I would add is if Quick Scan does not find the partitions, you should initiate a Deep Scan and wait patiently for it to finish. We will give up PW only if Deep Scan also does not find the partitions.

( Since its already time for me to retire and I would not be following this thread for the next ten hours or so, it is open for others to help you.)

I shall however close the day saying that if Deep Scan also does not find the partition, you have no other choice but to go for data recovery. I would recommend PhotoRec. Guide to using PhotoRec recovery software.

Good Luck.
