[2022] Best USB Partition Recovery Tool

Can I recover the lost partition in a USB drive?

Users might need to find a lost partition on the USB for various reasons, like accidental partition deletion, corrupted partition table…

When a USB partition loss happens, some users may think that this USB doesn’t work anymore and the important data files on that USB are lost. But, is there any possibility of recovering the lost partition on that USB?

Well, it is possible, but only if you use a third-party recovery tool. When partition information, such as partition type or location, is deleted from the operating system, the lost partition won’t display in Disk Management or File Explorer. However, it still exists on the disk. Only a professional tool can recognize and recover it.
