    MediaCreationTool change HDD partition strucure and delete my files


    I used the MediaCreationTool on one of my HDD partitions to create a bootable partition, but after the tool change the partition structure and now I can't access anymore the data on this disk.


    Screenshot of the disk management app: https://i.azuxul.fr/aiZ99P.png

    At the beginning the disk was constituted of two partitions.


    Anyone can help me to recover my files? I already tried testdisk but doesn't seem to work.

    :)

    How to recover files off a HDD from a deleted partition? help!!!

    Thanks for your reply. I used my m8s program and it worked like a dream, recovered all the files and also deleted ones from yrs back, was amazed how well it did. Next step is i will use that Partition Table Doctor to recover the deleted partition. Thanks for the link *Toast :toast:

    How to recover files off a HDD from a deleted partition? help!!!

    Ok guys ive made a big mistake and didn't realize that i haven't backup up my GF's data from her HDD before i deleted the partition. I have not formatted the drive in anyway just deleted the partition. Ive googled around and notice that it is possible to recover the partition , but i just wanted to ask on here first to see what others have done etc? and what program is the best to use to do so?

    Her HDD is a slave drive at the moment, and has windows XP installed on it.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Lets hope i get her files back or im a dead man.

    She doesn't know yet *Eek! MediaCreationTool change HDD partition strucure and delete my files :eek:

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
