  1. How do I recover a deleted Hard drive?


    So about a year ago, I thought it was a good idea to delete my 1TB Internal HDD because i already had a 1TB SSD Drive, the reason i did this was because i wanted my computer to be more silent and I thought the hard drive was the problem. I also later went on to plug the HDD out of the computer. But now that Ive realised that I need the space, I plugged the HDD back into the PC but now its not showing up in file explorer OR disk management. I have searched and watched countless tutorials but non of them specify this exact problem, probably because no one is dumb enough to do that except me. Can the case be that the hard drive has "died" because it hasn't been plugged in for a long time or can i fix this through windows 10? How do I recover my deleted hard drive?

    How do you recover a deleted partition on a hard drive?

    I was putting together my mothers new PC (mainly my old components) and decided that her hardrives were a mess and that I was going to merge the partitions.

    On one the drives, I deleted and formatted partition B, and tried to merge it with partition A, simply by extending partition A to encompass the remaining capacity on the physical drive. Much to my horror however, the end result was that the whole of the physical drive was rendered into 500GB of 'Unallocated Space'.

    There was lots of very important files on that hard-drive and losing them would be totally out of the question.

    Does anyone know how to go about recovering a deleted partition?

    Yeah,deleting a partition dosen't mean that this partition is gone for good.Only the partition table is deleted and you can recover deleted partiion with partition recovery software.I had succeed to do so before.

    Recover files from Flash drive

    Does not work on a windows pc which is what the OP probably intended

    windows by default does not have HFS and HFS+ based hard drives.
    Able to perform retrieval on both HFS and HFS+ based hard drives. and so will not work with windows

    thanks for the effort
