You might have deleted or formatted a partition without realizing what you were doing, or you might have wanted to clean one of the partitions and mistakenly erased an entire volume.

Partition Table Corruption

If you keep seeing an error message when you try to access your partition you’re likely dealing with partition table corruption. The partition table is important because it helps your computer keep track of data. In most cases, Recoverit partition recovery software should be able to save data lost due to partition table corruption.

Logical bad sector

Bad sectors can make it hard or impossible for the operating system to read data stored on them. A partition can become inaccessible or corrupt due to two types of bad sectors: logical bad sectors and physical bad sectors. Logical bad sectors occur due to file system corruption, virus attacks, overheating, etc. Wondershare Recoverit can successfully reverse partition file loss caused by logical bad sectors.

Physical bad sector

Physical bad sectors occur due to physical damage. The success recovery rate for physical bad sector is very low.

File System Corruption

A corrupted file system can lose the ability to locate or access files stored on the partition, therefore resulting in data loss or inability to access the entire partition. In worst-case scenarios, the partition will appear as if it was erased. Recoverit partition data recovery can find and bring back partition files lost because of corrupted system files.

Operating System Upgrades

Operating system upgrades don’t usually cause partition loss unless something goes wrong. If there are errors during the upgrade process, such as hardware failures or power outages, that can lead to a partition table or file system corruption and ultimately cause data loss. Recovering partition data after a failed operating system upgrade shouldn’t be too difficult, assuming you have Wondershare Recoverit partition recovery software.

Power Outages

Power outages can corrupt individual files and entire file systems if they interrupt a writing process. This can render your partition unusable but not beyond repair. Partition loss caused by a power outage can be reversed using the Wondershare Recoverit partition file recovery tool.

Hardware Destruction

You might not be able to find or access a partition because your computer has been physically damaged. In this case, partition recovery is very challenging, and it’s not always possible. If your device was severely damaged, in-lab recovery might be your only option.

Faulty Firmware

When firmware isn’t functioning correctly, the communication between software and hardware is broken. This has terrible consequences for an entire hard drive. Faulty firmware can affect partitioning and writing, resulting in inaccessible or corrupted partitions. Luckily, partition recovery is still possible as long as you act quickly and scan your computer with Recoverit hard disk partition recovery software.

Recover Lost Partition

Recoverit Supports Main Partition Types

Wondershare Recoverit supports all main partition types: primary partition, extended partition, and logical partition.

Primary Partition

The partition where your operating system is installed is called the primary partition. Since it contains the primary boot program, losing this partition renders all applications and data inaccessible.

Extended Partition

A hard drive has just one extended partition. This partition can’t be used directly, but it can create logical partitions that store user data. It’s where most users keep their photos, documents, etc.

Logical Partition

The logical partition is created within the extended partition as a subsection that stores files (and sometimes applications, too). It is possible to create limitless logical partitions on one hard drive.

Vinnie P

Recovered my data with ease.

I cant thank Wondershare RecoverIT software enough. I had a business based external drive with 7 to 8 years of data on it and I thought I lost it all. I know it wasn't formatted or deleted however somehow the partition table was deleted and Disk management could only read the volume as RAW. After plugging and scanning my Toshiba external HDD, RecoverIT found all files and folders intact. I recovered/backed it up to another HDD and could read my files again. A big thank you again for accessing my data in a short period of time.

Very cool recovery for lost files

Only this software could recover the files I needed from the corrupted partition. Cool stuff, also you get a video recorder in a package. It doesn't have an option to revive partition where it was, though. But, anyway, totally worth its cost, plus you can activate it on 2 devices.

Bonus: How to Prevent Partition Data Loss

Despite our best intentions, no storage device is immune to data loss. That still doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do our best to prevent data loss with proper care and responsible user practices. Prevention is the best measure against irreversible data loss. We’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks to help you take good care of data.

Tip 1: Perform Regular Backups

You should always have a backup copy of your valuable data if something happens to the original files. Today, you have a plethora of solutions that allow you to manage, schedule, and automate backups in a safe and user-friendly way.

Backup Your Data Free Backup Your Data Free Backup Your Data Free

Tip 2: Think Twice Before You Click

Caution is the best cure against accidental data loss. Whether you’re inexperienced or simply in a rush, take a moment to think twice before deleting or formatting a partition. It might contain files or critical applications that you cannot afford to lose.

Tip 3: Carefully Partition Your Disk

Many users don’t have the technical skills and experience needed for safe disk partitioning. If you plan on partitioning your disk regardless, we recommend you watch a tutorial online or use a disk partitioning tool for beginners.
Tip 4: Keep Virus Attacks at Bay

A single virus-infected file can destroy an entire partition or render it inaccessible. The good news is that an updated anti-virus can keep most infections at bay. In addition to this, you should be very careful when opening email attachments, downloading files from unknown sources, and clicking on suspicious links.
Tip 5: Handle Devices with Care

It is often impossible (and regularly costly) to save data from a physically damaged device. Although mistakes like these can happen to anyone, you should always try to keep your device safe from high temperatures, spillage accidents, and other preventable disasters.
Tip 6: Safely Remove External Drives

It may seem obvious to safely remove external drives and storage devices when you’re finished using them, but many people don’t know how to do this properly. To prevent device damage and partition loss, remember to click “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” before removing the drive.
