How to Recover Partition in Windows 10/8/7 with AOMEI Partition Assistant?

Scenario

Once, one of my friends had suffered a lot from data loss. He used to save all his private matter on partition D, including photos, videos, music and things like that. One day, when he starts his PC, he cannot find his partition D. He was so disappointed that he began to recall what can be the cause for this. He sought in his mind what he had done the day before with his computer. After some brainstorm, something caught his attention. It seemed that he accidently deleted his D partition...It is too late to mourn, so he think about me and told me that. With my suggestion, he successfully gets back his lost partition with all his private data.

Why do you need a partition recovery tool?

To learn partition recovery, we should first give you an exact impression about partition. Generally, a disk is always divided into several parts, and each part is called a partition. It is very useful to divide hard disk into several partitions because each partition will work like a separate disk drive, you can use it for storing different categories of data without confusion. If a hard disk only has one partition, once the partition gets lost or is deleted accidentally, all data will get lost.

In fact, there are several causes for partition loss. Some are common, while others are not. To restore a partition, it is usually necessary to understand why the loss occurred:

Accidental deletion: Unfortunately, even pros make this error since the human aspect is present in virtually all situations.

Bad sectors: They might make it difficult for the operating system to recognize a partition.

Damaged partitions: A lost partition might result from damage to the partition table caused by a virus, other malware, or an improper disc operation.

Power problems: Power outages generate power surges, which can destroy the whole hard disc and all of its partitions.

But, the thing is if there is more than one partition on the disk and one of them gets lost or is deleted, what you lost is only the data on the lost partition; the data of other partitions on the disk are still there. And fortunately, if you have lost one or two partitions, you can still have them back by partition recovery.

Partition Recovery is actually a method of recovering your lost partitions that were accidentally deleted or damaged due to hardware/software failure, virus attack, or some other unknown reasons, as long as they were not formatted/overwritten after deletion. And here we will show you how to recover partitions with Partition Recovery Wizard built-in AOMEI Partition Assistant, which may restore partitions that were deleted a long time ago.
