Question:
I accidentally deleted a partition in Windows Server 2008 using the disk management
tools. That partition is full of works from the last 2 years. Is there any way
I can recover the data? The space left by the deleted partition is still unallocated
at the moment. How can I recover data
from deleted partition (in) Windows Server? Do I need to create the
partition prior to data recovery?
Partition
lost or partition deletion may occur just like the upper question. This will
drive users crazy especially when there are some important files in the lost
partition. The first priority is to recover data from the lost partition
firstly. Overwriting is forbidden here. In most cases, recovery is impossible
if the data needed to be recovered is overwritten. A kind of deleted data
recovery software is reliable to recover data from the deleted partition.
MiniTool
Power Data Recovery is one of the best data recovery software. It offers five modules:
Undelete Recovery, CD/DVD Recovery, Digital Media Recovery,
Lost Partition Recovery, and Damaged
Partition Recovery. Among these modules, Lost Partition Recovery is designed to recover data after partition
loss or deletion. Obviously, users can use module “Lost Partition Recovery” to solve this problem.
We
suggest users to scan the deleted partition first by using MiniTool Power Data
Recovery Free Edition V7.0 (Download Now) to check the
existing of deleted data. If they can be scanned, users can purchase MiniTool
Power Data Recovery Commercial License which can be used by Windows Server to
save them secondly.

Data from Deleted Partition in Windows Server
Take
partition I as an example. In Windows Server, partition I is deleted by mistake
and all files in it is disappeared. Now, the owner wants to recover data in it.
Step
1. Users should run MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition V7.0, enter the
main interface as blew, and then click module “Lost Partition Recovery” to continue.
Step
2. Users will get to the “Lost Partition
Recovery” interface. The deleted partition letter “E:\” is not displayed in
the interface. Instead, it is displayed as “Deleted Partition” there. In case
of there are more than one deleted partitions, users can recognize the target deleted
partition according to the size of partitions. Then users should select the deleted
partition as below, and click “Full Scan”
to continue.
Tip:
if there is no deleted partition shown in the interface, please click “Refresh” in the lower left corner to
recognize the deleted partition again.
The
following is the process bar of the scan after clicking “Full Scan”.
Step
3. After the scanning, users can get the deleted data in the deleted partition.
Then, they can select their wanted files to recover.
Tip:
There is a “Preview” function in this
interface. Pictures can be previewed for users’ convenience.
When
users press “Save” in the lower right
corner, an error interface will be shown as blew. This is the limitation of
MiniTool Power Data Recovery Free Edition V7.0. It can only scan the drive
rather than save the recovered files. If users want to save them, please
purchase a license key at http://www.PowerDataRecovery.com/upgrade-from-free.html. Note it is advisable
to save these data to another safe position instead of the original location
before you confirm all needed data are recovered and the original location is ready
for a second data store.
Besides,
Damaged Partition Recovery is the
most powerful data recovery module among the five modules, which focus on
recovering data from damaged, RAW or formatted partitions. If you want to use
