Solved diskpart/clean by accident....need to recover partitions,begging :'(

[Kaktussoft]

Don't create sys reserved and C!!! Boot from macrium rescue cd and do something like this Restoring Windows partitions with Macrium Reflect v5 - YouTube

It will restore both partitions!!

Provided your Macrium image contains both. You just drag the partitions in the image into the free space.

I have just gotten back to this thread and see you apparently recovered your Partitions, excepting an 100gb unallocated space which formerly was Win7 and which you formatted to reinstall.

So there is no System Reserved to mark Active (look at the screenshot) and no MBR to recover since you were only desperate to recover your data which got wiped previously on D and E. The C partition was permanently lost when you formatted it before wiping the HD.

What I would do is now copy that data out ASAP to external source using Win7 DVD to Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console or using Paragon rescue disk to recover data.

You should never have had such critical data which wasn't backed up, and now have no business running any other operations - especially an image recovery which risks overwriting the partition again - until the data is backed up. That is reckless!

If you do not have external storage to copy the data into such as an external HD then I would get one if the data is as critical as the hysteria yesterday implied. What more important reason would there be to buy an external HD now before doing anything else?

If you want to continue taking risks then install Win7 from its booted DVD to the unallocated space you deleted for that purpose. As long as you don't touch the data partitions which you've confirmed are intact, it should not affect them. But to run an image Recovery right now would be reckless without backing up the data first.

I already made sys and C:. My 64bit has damaged and made them with a 32bit disk.
And in first couple of tries and once with 32 bit disk i had some errors. But now macrium runing and my D and E was visible with all data and now the image is being verifying. Still im via phone. I wil upload those errors.

 

[suspect008]

oh! Shit, its already runing, now its 12% of C:. I think I shouldnt cancel now. :|

 

[gregrocker]

Are you confident that you directed Macrium to reimage only the Unallocated space?

How confident are you of this? Your data may depend upon it.

If you cancel Macrium and it hasn't already formatted or overwritten your data then you can copy your data out and start it again.

I'm appalled that you would have priceless data which you were able to miraculously recover and then not back it up before doing another risky operation.

 

[suspect008]

greg, its runing fast as it is just 9gb.
I thnk i have no options left here? Am I? I checked before execute. Sys reserved set as active and all other are primary. And its same as it was before. Exact sizes and ran verify and it got successful too.
But dont knw now, i thot my D and E was secured. And theres little strange on run, curent progres is 50% and overal is 40%, before it wasnt like this though. Both runs pararell

Yes, Im well confident I selected newly made partitions. Past day i just run this, but here I myself directed these 2 on their locations.
And no need to worry, im well familiar with macrium. Now copying is completed, and now its running a verification process.

 

[gregrocker]

Why would you think D and E which you just recovered only by a miracle process are safe to do another advanced disk operation, without backing up the data?

I'm beginning to see that the data was not as critical as you led us to believe yesterday. Otherwise you would have copied it out at all costs, first thing.

 

[suspect008]

NOTE : That unallocated space was partitione by runing a windows installation disk. It made system reserve and set it active and made a 100gb partition as disk 1 and it is a primary but didn't offered a drive letter.
In macrium, I chose auto for assigning drive letter and it assigned it C. Yet its verification runing. Overal progres is 93%.

 

[gregrocker]

I do not use Macrium so don't know if you've proceeded correctly. Most imaging suites want unallocated space.

Do you even intend to back up your data regularly now?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Of course Greg is right. Always make backups and don't cry. And making backups on same physical drive is not the smartest thing to do.

But if you use Macrium the right way it doesn't touch D and E. sys reserved and C are being restored now. When finished you can explore with Partition Wizard. All NTFS? All Primary? Sys reserved active?
If so try to boot from harddisk. if failing... perform a "startup repair"

 

[gregrocker]

Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times making sure SysReserved has content and is marked Active.

PW Rebuild MBR can also work at that time if needed.

Yes it is greg, just take a look at my D explorer screen shot just after recovery. Its all are picture folders, i think it contain bout 5000- 6000 pics. And that doccument folder contains all my autocad drawings, asignments( finished and on going) for 2 years and all quantity surveying related books and notes., and don't know wheather image captured a folder named 'Apsara', my gf, my life, all our videos pics contain in that. And within that, theres a locker file containing all my passwords.

But I dont care whats in E. Image was contain in that. So I thot its okay to to so and kado and kaktussoft said so, then I got confident.

And ryt at the moment i do not have anything to copy 150gb except for 16gb pen and a 4gb pen. Then i copied my asignments folder and gfs folder in 3/4 and some of my fathers photos as he is deceased. So can you tel me these are not important sir?

 

[gregrocker]

It is up to you to decide what is important to you and back it up accordingly.

It sounds like you need a 320-500gb External HD. They are not expensive if you shop.

You can also back up 7gb free (and more cheaply) to the cloud with each Windows Live/Hotmail account on Skydrive. You can even Sync Any Folder to Your SkyDrive Account | PCWorld

 

[Kaktussoft]

Macrium did its job succesfully? Can you boot your system normally?

 

[karlsnooks]

suspect,
Let me second Greg's recommendation regarding SkyDrive.

the present SkyDrive is quite usable. See the link provided by Greg.

I use SkyDrive for two reasons: 1 ) as an additional backup (I still use Windows Backup and Restore to an external usb drive) and 2) to give me access to my files from anywhere.

yes of course now Im planing on buying a portable hard drive. I just wanted these to be secured. this was my fault though, its not disks or any others, completely stupid actions of me.

okay guys, here I am posting with using chrome. it did great and I have all my files and names on it. but 1 thing, cause that I wanted to clean up C: is still here I think. notebook took bout 3 and half mins to get ready to work in ful and in the first boot, I had message says windows was shut down on some error and asking wanna check it later. so problem still exist, so I think I wanna clean re installation.

and gregrocker, kaktussoft, karl, I know how important it is to backup data. but these I did not wanted to have a second copy. cuz some are very confidential. I am not keeping backups in the same drive. this was kept in here because if I had a failure while Im away from home, I can get it up and work though. thats what I had in mind keeping a backup here. Actually I keep two. this base one and one that have all the softwares installed. so I think im not wrong at there but thinking ahead as Im using a notebook and travels. I think you guys agree with that.

Everything from backup restored succesfully. Now you can boot ... sort of... went back in time when making the backup.

and of course you have same problem as then!

You want a clean install anyway?
