I deleted the hard drive partition by accident, How to repair it?

[Caladrad]

When I was installing windows, the computer couldn't find the hard drive inside it, but found the usb drive I used to store important data. I pressed delete partition by mistake, now I can't access it T.T. Is there anyway to repair this? I didn't format the hard drive.

Thanks

You'll need either a partition repair app, or a file recovery tool.

I recommend you try something like GetDataback from runtime.org to see if it can get your files off of the usb key, and then you'll need to reformat the usb key and copy back the files.

OUCH!!! That's called learning the hard way. Chin up, anybody that says this never happened to them (once!) are probably liars

GetDataBack keeps popping up in this forum so it must be doing something right. One review I read said it restored an accidentally-formatted drive 100%. I personally have had good luck recovering deleted JPEGs from a corrupted Memory Stick using the free version of Davory, you are limited by the free version. Best of luck.

Thanks for the help.

I found the solution from Microsoft website. They have tools and instructions to fix this =D.

The article "How To Recover an Accidentally Deleted NTFS or FAT32 Dynamic Volume" can't be found at

There are instructions about how to use Dskprobe.exe

You can download Dskprobe.exe from microsoft, or just google it.
