Recover Files from HDD Partition

Let's have a look at some of the common data loss scenarios

1. Human errors

Human errors are the common cause of data loss. You might accidentally delete or format the wrong partition instead of deleting or formatting the other unwanted partition. Whenever you format or delete the partition of your hard drive, the data stored in that specific partition is deleted. The main difference between deleting and formatting the partition is, formatting process creates a new file system to store new data by deleting all the data whereas deletion process deletes the entry of the partition from the partition table. Therefore, an accidental deletion or formatting of partition results in data loss. At this stage, you can choose HDD Partition Recovery tool to restore data from hard disk partition after an unintentional deletion.

2. Partition Corruption issues

The disk partition may get corrupted due to various reasons. Here are some general causes that lead to HD partition corruption

• Improper disk partitioning or resizing of partitions using third party utilities: You can resize the existing partition in two ways i.e. one way is by reinstalling the OS and another way is by using a third-party utility like Partition Magic. When you try to create another partition or resize the partition, you may get error messages like "Not enough space" or "could not allocate or de-allocate memory". These error messages may occur due to some reasons, which make your data inaccessible resulting in data loss. In such case, you can seek the help of the Partition Recovery tool to securely retrieve HDD partition data


• MBR corruption: When you try to boot your system, you may encounter an error message like "Invalid Drive Specification". This error message occurs mainly due to boot sector virus. A boot sector virus is a program that replaces the boot program with a virus-infected code and the virus-infected code runs every time when you boot your system. This virus generally infects and corrupts the MBR (Master Boot Record), where the information about all partitions is stored. The corrupted MBR does not allow you to access the partitions resulting in data loss. Make use of proficient partition recovery tool to restore data from HDD partition after MBR corruption.


• Errors while converting from one file system to another: When you try to convert one file system like FAT16 to another version of file system such as FAT 32 then due to some reason the file system conversion process may fail. You may get error messages like "FAT32 is not supported", "FAT32 is not a valid file system" etc. In this case, the file system of your partition might get partially converted as a result, you cannot use both FAT16 and FAT32 file system that makes your hard drive partition unusable. If you want to make your partition usable then formatting is needed but, formatting the partition deletes the entire data resulting in data loss.
