Restoring a partition deleted by mistake.

Planned to reformat the PC? The Windows 7 setup however, did not show the complete capacity of your new SATA hard disk. Therefore, you cancelled and wanted to boot from the old hard disk again, to look for help on the Internet. However, you also deleted the boot partition of this drive by mistake. There is important data on it,Can it be restored? i answer that yes...........................

You can try the data recovery program Test Disk by downloading it from www.cgsecurity.org. It is a free open source program and is very efficient.Test Disk has been developed with the intention of restoring lost or mistakenly deleted partitions. The program repairs the partition table as well as the boot sector and also rewrites the Master Boot Record (MBR) if required. The most important thing is you can run it using a boot floppy, CD or a USB stick—this is important in cases like this, in which boot partitions are affected. Navigationin Test Disk takes is performed using the arrow keys. Actions are confirmed by pressing [Enter].

Important: Actual changes to your hard disk are executed by the program only if you confirm with [Enter], [Y],and ‘OK’. With the option labeled‘Proceed’, an analysis first takes place.The present status can and should be saved using the ‘Save’ button.Test Disk shows the hard disk info as CHS (Cylinders, Heads, Sectors) after a verification started with ‘Search’. This is followed by its total size in MB. What is important is the first character of the output line: ‘*’ means primary and active as boot partition, ‘P’ is primary but not bootable, ‘L’ is a logical drive,and ‘D’ indicates the partition has been deleted. Selected the deleted partition, place it on ‘P’ using the right/left-arrow keys and save with ‘Write’.
