  1. HDD not showing up in windows after stupidly deleting dual boot and recovering MBR the hard way


    So, I know, I didn't do things the right way.I had a Kali/Win11 dual boot and decided to delete Kali via Disk Manager. I didn't think about what I was doing and didn't realize I'd have to repair MBR. Now my problem is I have My main SSD showing up on my Win11 installation, but my second drive doesn't show up anywhere in windows. It is there in BIOS, so I know it still exists...What I tried so far; -Disk Manager, trying to add a new Volumediskpart - list diskI don't know what to do to get it back.

    :)

    Need suggestions to recover deleted data from HDD

    As is my username I was a bit of a big n00b this morning, installing a fresh Win8 and accidentally deleted my downloads HDD instead of my SSD, don't ask, I was hungover is all I can think.

    It hasn't been formatted or touched since I pressed delete so am hopeful I can recover most of the files, any suggestions for software to do so?

  4. HDD not showing up in windows after stupidly deleting dual boot and recovering MBR the hard way

    fix MBR using bootable external hard drive

    I tried to dual boot with andriod-x86 and windows 10. But messed up with something and windows 10 no longer boot.

    I think it is the corrupted MBR that need to be fixed. I can no longer boot into recovery too.

    My laptop does not have a DVD driver nor I have the windows installation media. I upgraded my hard drive to SSD a while ago, therefore, I have the bootable hard drive (HDD) comes with the laptop, which have the windows 8.1.

    Is it possible to boot from the HDD and fix the MBR on the SDD. If so, how? I can google how to fix, but I am not sure whether I should mount the SDD after externally boot from HDD via usb.
