Undeleting Partitions
When simply deleting a partition (without additional wiping) disk management software only
removes references to it in the Partition Table, thus leaving the possibility to recover it later.
The program enables 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 occupied by that
partition. That is why the program offers this function only for blocks of free space.
The operation can be accomplished with the Undelete Partition Wizard.
Startup
There are several ways to start the Undelete Partition Wizard:
• In the Main Menu: select Wizards > Undelete Partitions…
• On the Common Tasks Bar: click the Undelete Partition item of the Wizards menu.
• Select a block of free space on the Disk Map and click the Recover Lost Partitions item on the
page that appears in the Explorer Bar.
• Call the popup menu for the block of free space (right click of the mouse button) then select
the menu item: Recover Lost Partitions…
Setup
The wizard offers the following steps to accomplish the undelete partition operation:
• Free blocks to scan for lost partitions. Choose a free block from a tree-like list of available hard
disks.
• Search method. By default, the wizard selects the fastest search method for your operating
system. In most cases that will do to find any accidentally deleted partition. However if you're
under Windows XP for instance (the Conventional Search option is selected), but the deleted
partition you're looking for has been created with the Disk Management utility under Vista, the
wizard won't be able to find this partition, unless you manually select the appropriate option
(Quick Search for Partitions Created by Vista or Later OS). Moreover if the wizard still fails to
find the partition you need, you can select the Thorough Search option to scan every single
sector in the specified search area to get the most accurate results.
