Hello Ralf,

I'm assuming that the unallocated Disk 1 is the one that you deleted your files on by mistake.

If so, then pick up at step 7 in OPTION FOUR of the tutorial below to restore the disk and hopefully all previous files on it as well. Just do not format or delete the disk again. If you do, you may not be able to recover the files.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hey Brink thanks for the reply uhm,
I already did this, will this ruin my system?

 

[Brink]

Since you Windows 7 installation is on Disk 0 instead of the deleted Disk 1, then no it will not ruin your system. As long as you do not delere or format Disk 1 again, you may be able to recover you files on it. If what you are trying not doesn't work in recovering Disk 1, then try with the program I posted in the tutorial above.

Hello Brink, I manage to recover "some" files,
here's the image:

actually, the 93.74GB and 384.94GB unallocated space were on the RockyX3
disk, and only half of the files of RockyX3 disk were recovered, can i still recover some things here?

Thanks.

Edit:

Also how will i include this on my system?
I still can't see it on my disks
here's the photo on my disk management:

Right click the partition and assign it a drive letter.

Ralf,

Hopefully after you assign a drive letter, you may be able to recover more. However, I wouldn't expect to be able to get to much more than what you already have if any.

Hey Brink, thanks again. I'm sorry, I got confused from what about you said.
So I added an image; what should i do next?

should I do this?

Right click the partition and assign it a drive letter.

I don't like to take the risk, my files might get deleted. Thanks for the help though.

Ralf,

It says that Disk1 has 931.51 GB capacity and 931.51 GB free. There's nothing left on it.

As Stenzin posted above, go ahead and add a driver letter for Disk 1 to see if you may be able to access it afterwards, and hopefully recover anything on it with a free program like Recuva. I would recommend to add whatever letter it originally had if able.

What about the Minitool Partition Wizard? it manage to recover some things, I can even view my files on it. Can't I recover it from there? Thanks, Brink.


EDIT:
Guys I manage to Bring back my other Drive! Thanks, Though the other one is asking me to Format my other drive which I can't since all my files is in there, as you can see on the Minitool Partition Wizard it's the file of RockyX3 Drive. Help guys?

 

[Brink]

Sorry, I thought that you had already recovered what you could with Partition Wizard.

Did you "Apply" after it was recovered at step 14 in OPTION FOUR in the tutorial below?

I did Brink, anyway I recovered my other hard drive, however my Drive G: RockyX3 is asking me to format it, actually the unallocated space were on my Drive G it was extended on my Drive G

And why is it raw? I tried to extend my Drive G, though this appears:

I haven't pressed yes yet, I'm waiting for your experts answer.
THANKS!

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

 

[Brink]

DO NOT press Yes. You do not want to convert the disk to dynamic.

Were you not able to restore all partitions on Disk 1 at once as in the tutorial instead of one at a time like this?

Yes I wasn't able to restore it all just only my other drive which is Drive: L
as you can see in this image:

This once 3 we're a drive (The unallocated space we're on my drive G: RockyX3) after using Minitool Partition Wizard the volume was been into pieces. Maybe I did was wrong? I'm using the v7.1 version while on the thread you gave me was 5.2? (I think, not sure). That's why I haven't been able to follow it. The only thing I just need to recover is this Drive: G, My Drive: L is fully functional at the moment.
Thanks, Brink.

 

[Brink]

Are you able to run the "Partition Recovery Wizard" option (top left pane) on the selected L partition to restore it separately?

Yes I did, It says that I need The Minitool Partition Wizard Pro Edition to be able to merge the unallocated space, Should i go get it?

 

[Brink]

Did you want to merge the unallocated space to another partition on the disk, or recover it as a separate partition?

Sorry for confusing, I think my files weren't actually deleted since it's still on Drive G on Mini Partition Wizard. I think by merging unallocated space on the Drive G would help me recover all my files on Drive G without formatting it. Sorry for confusing you Brink, english is not my main language.

 

[Brink]

You would only want to try and restore the disk exactly how it was before you deleted it. If the disk originally had partitions where the two unallocated spaces are now, then merging them (extending another partition into them) could destroy any chance of recovery files from them.

Have you already tried using Recuva to see if you may be able to recover any files from them?

I tried recuva, though i can't see my "MAIN" files on it. It only show things that I don't need e.g jpg, png, mp3 etc etc.. Most of this files is videos, and the folders became thumb.db

Is test disk worth trying? Is there any application that I can retrieve things on a raw hard disk?

Edit: see it brink? it's not totally 345.57GB. It's

829GB

before my HD was destroyed, it was orginally 829GB
came from Unallocated space: 93.74GB & 389.94GB
