so, guys, are you sugesting me to go for the corrections even that used space is wrong? Would I lose data which was in my D? Or even though, after the corections, would I be able to recover them with a data recovery software?
So, i am going to cancel the ful scan now. It took 2hours to reach 15%. Shal I cancel and go for the quick recovery?
I repeat, partition sizes were perfect. But not the used space. My concern is on that 100 lost in D :'(
Sorry didn't read the posts very well. Only important partition is D .. you wanna recover that. It is listed right size. but wrong used size
Is that what's the problem?
Full scan isnt finished yet and it doesn't allow me to scroll. So yet i cant confirm that wheather they are corect or wrong because I cant see.
And yes, I format my C: before I execute clean. So no need to worry about c:. Cuz it is intended to format.
Sorry for the trouble. Im trying to give info as clear as possible.
If only D is imporant only recovery that 200GB partition. full scan or quick scan gave the same used space I assume(?)
I don't know why but PW (Partition Wizard) sees it but tells you wrong used space. You have to do simething! Try to recover it and do a "file system check" of that partition in PW (check only!! not repair). Post results.
also do How to Explore Partition - help of partition manager - Partition Wizard.
And have a look if files are on it
GO SLOWLY. Don't know how well you can see this on your phone, but do you remember what you stated in your first post:
What you found with Google is pretty accurate. Everything should still be there, but you should consider every write to the disk as potentially detrimental. So GO SLOWLY.
diskpart "clean" command is very fast. It just cleans the partition tabel. Links to start and end LBA of all the partitions. All data is still there! Since recovery partitions finds them by scanning blocks and find special contents that looks like the start of a partition you are lucky. It finds the right size, so most likely the right stuff. Used space should be as it was before!
Recover that partition and eventually reboot to PW and take a look at used space again (now it's a real partition). used space is fine now?
yes, of course f5ing, thatz what im trying to do. My hard is healthy as far as I thnk, because now its being like 8months and every month, i do a disk check and it never came up with bad sectors. This month of course i couldnt because I just finished year end exams in campus.
I have canceled the ful scan. I wil try to upload a photo of quick scan now. I tried twice but it failed.
And Kaktussoft - yes, Quick scan shows wrong used space is the headache now. But these sizes are exact matches and starting and ending LBAs having only 2 sector gap. You will see in the pic. And also, it was quick clean. Without any parameters.
So, what u guys sugest? And I dont know how to thank all of you. Just I dont know how to expres, now im having little hope that I wil have my data back.
So, what should I do next? Or should we wait until greg and siw comes. They were first to instruct me. You know, i need all of you.
