Guest Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Is partition recovery in Recuva's scope? I thought it was file/folder recovery software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Is partition recovery in Recuva's scope? I thought it was file/folder recovery software. Recuva recovers deleted files but it should be able to recover files even if the partition table was corrupted, most decent recovery programs can. The inability to "Deep scan" for files with RAW drives is a serious limitation of the software that needs addressing. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I didn't realise that about Recuva and I thought he wanted to recover the whole partition not just the files on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted January 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2011 You could try this: Paragon Rescue Kit 10 Free Edition: Rescue Your Data In case of a system malfunction, caused either by a virus attack or file corruption, you can retrieve valuable information from your disks and copy it to another local drive, partition or save the data to CD/DVD. The File Transfer Wizard helps you to export data as easy and convenient as possible. Undelete Partition When simply deleting a partition (without additional wiping) disk management software only removes the references to it in the Partition Table, thus leaving the possibility to recover it later. The Undelete Partitions Wizard enables you to find and recover these partitions. A restored partition will be fully functional, as long as other partitions were not created, moved or exceeded the disk space. Worth a try.

Moderators Andavari Posted January 29, 2011 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hard disks seen as RAW can also be fixed via Windows Recovery Console, on XP at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makoyalu Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 recuva is the best deletion files recover freeware i've ever used before, although it cannot do anything about lost partition recovery. if you need to recover the files from your lost partitions, ok, just other special partition recovery is the way. i found this article would be a hand: restore lost hard disk partitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
routing Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 hey all, thanks for your good suggestions. i did find recuva is only special for deletion files recovery. i tried rescue kit, sorry, i am not a professional one, it is a little bit difficult for me to understand how to do, because i am afraid it will destroy all the files so still thank you DennisD and i will try makoyalu referred, data recovery wizard partition recovery...
