Windows 10: Clean command in DiskPart in cmd by mistake

Hey geeks,


My PC was having some trouble from last few days, so during the chkdsk, it made one of my partition RAW.

So, in order to repair it, I accidently ran clean command in diskpart of Command Prompt Admin on my 1 TB HDD. Then I closed the command prompt immediately and switched off from power within 10 seconds.


I then dual booted to Windows 8 and saw that all my files were there but some 200 gb was unallocated or something.

Then back to my Windows 10, there are no partitions present in My Computer, but they are present in Disk Management.


Please assist me in getting my partitions back.

:)

 

DISKPART CLEAN

Hello

I'm Peter F independent Advisor

You will get this error when you are using diskpart clean command on system disk. The system disk contains the Windows operating system files and other critical files, if you are allowed to clean the system disk, all the data and partitions will be gone. That
will result in a lot of errors and chaos. Meanwhile, the delete volume is greyed out in Disk Management. In this case, the new SSD drive may be regarded as the system disk due to the system files, etc.

Using Windows installation disc to clean

If you have the Windows installation disc, you can follow these steps to solve clean is not allowed issue in Windows 7/8/10:

1. Insert the Windows installation disc, then boot from it.

2. Click Repair your computer> Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

3. Then input the diskpart commands to clean hard disk:

diskpart

list disk

select disk [disknumber]

clean

Diskpart Clean

Then you could create a new partition on the drive to solve this problem.

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!

 

DiskPart-Clean command-Bad mistake-Lost all data & O.S HELP PLEASE

Ok here it is short ....... 3nights ago I put my laptop in sleep mode for the night, in the morning I go online & as homepage is opening I get BSOB with stop code ? I didn't catch it in time, it restarts, I sign in get to start screen BSOB this time code
0x000000EF Critical Process Died. It restarts but on boot get error code 0x000000f. At this point im clueless, so I shut it down tried again, nothing auto repair. I tried everything that I found to fix it not booting up many many times, then here is where
things turn bad. My device open in CMD I was trying to see if flashdrive was usable to create a media disk as I upgraded from W7 online so no disk of my own. I was in DiskPart to look at the drives which I shouldn't been since im no pro & this is why...I
used the clean cmd on my main drive not the flash. This can't be happening, my view of "list disk" before was

Disk ## Status Size Free Dyn Gpt

Disk 0 Online 298GB 1024KB

Disk 1 Online 7751MB 0B

And after

Disk 0 Online 298GB 298GB

Disk 1 Online 7751MB 0B

To verify what I just did I list disk, selected Disk 0 then "list partitions" and got this

There are no partitions on this disk to show

I read that recovery or undo clean would be impossible if I erased all partitions, other options I could find was to use DiskMgt.msc but Cmd said "is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Also the drive letter is X:\Windows\System32> after exiting DiskPart

I haven't touch a thing it still in Cmd, if anyone has any knowledge on what possibilities I have at recovering my data especially in this situation I would so much greatly appreciate every little bit you have to offer.

And yes I am an idiot & no I have no recent back up

Hopefully there's help out there

Thanks
