Can I use your program to search and recover the lost data from the deleted/reformatted partitions?
Question: Can I use your program to search and
recover the lost data from the deleted/reformatted partitions?
Answer: In this case, instead of the original partition
entry we would have a new one and everything would work fine except
that later on we could recall that we had some important data on the
original partition.
If you've created MBR, Partition Table, Volume Sectors backup before the problem (for example, Active@ Partition Recovery and Active@ UNERASER can do this), you can virtually restore it back and look for your data (in case if it has not been overwritten with new data yet).
Some advanced recovery tools also have an ability to scan the disk surface and try to reconstruct previously deleted partition information from the remnants of information (i.e. perform virtual partition recovery). However there is no guarantee that you can recover anything.
