Deleted partitions :( get data back ?

TexTwil · 25 Jul 2010

Hi,
I was creating a USB boot flash disk using diskpart and by mistake a run the command "clear" on a wrong disk. This deleted all partition information on my backup disk. Oups.

Is there a way to get the data back ?

Hello TexTwill,

You might give the free program Recuva a try to see if you may be able to recover some of the files.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I will try those softwares. I also forgot to mentions that there was one partitions HFS and on NTFS. The HFS contained the important data.

Since this is for a HFS (Mac) partition, then you will most likely need to use a program like the free TestDisk instead. It supports recovering data from a HFS partition.
