I need to recover my partitions. Please HELP!

Asked by Noobie (72points) October 26th, 2008

I used Partition Magic 8 to merge 3 of my drives. At “99% progress” it stopped and didn’t do the process completely. As a result I cannot access the information of two of my previous drives. How can I recover my old partitions? Please help. I NEED those information. Thank you so much.

That’s not good. How important is the information? If very, I would speak to a data recovery company. You’ll pay a couple hundred dollars, but it’s worth it if it’s important.

It is very important. I found a few “Partition Recovery” softwares over the net but I am not sure which one to use.

I wouldn’t bother doing it yourself. Pay a recovery expert. It’s too easy to screw up your data in the process of recovering it if you’re not careful.

Sorry to hear about the drive. Like richardhenry said you may just want to take it in if the data is truly worth a couple hundred dollars to you.

If you want to give it a shot yourself, I had good luck with GetDataBack and it looks like they offer a free trial that will you see if they can get your files before you buy it. Of course you’ll have to get the full version to actually do the recovery. Found the trial here it looks like their website is here.

Good luck with it.

Maybe you can try to use professional recovery software firstly, such as Tenorshare Data Recovery Pro, which has partition recovery feature, you can have a try. And before you get back lost information, you had better not save new data to your hard dirve. Finally, if software can’t help you, you have to ask recovery experts for help!
