Recovering Lost or Deleted Partitions using Mini Tool Partition Recovery Wizard

In today's digital age, data loss can happen to anyone, regardless of their level of computer expertise. Losing partitions or data on your hard drive can be frustrating and sometimes, irreparable. However, with the right tools and knowledge, it is possible to recover lost or deleted partitions. In this article, we will explore how to use Mini Tool Partition Recovery Wizard to recover your lost or deleted partitions.

The Importance of Scanning for New Hardware

When a new hardware device is connected to a computer, it's essential to scan for new hardware to ensure the system recognizes the device. Sometimes, scanning for new hardware can make the drive visible again. The controller and restarting the system sometimes makes the drive visible again if you've had problems with it. However, if the partition has been deleted or corrupted, none of these methods work.

Restarting the System

To start fresh, restart the system. Once the computer is back online, open up Mini Tool to show its capabilities. Launch the application, and once launched, the actual program will be displayed. The tool will display all available drives, including the two terabyte drive with Linux swap and ext4 partitions.

Deleting Unnecessary Volumes

Since the data on the Linux partition is not needed, delete these volumes quickly using right-click on the volume. This allows the user to directly go straight over to the Partition Recovery Wizard without applying any changes. The tool will display a quick scan of the drive, which may take some time. This initial scan is essential to detect partitions and identify if they are lost or deleted.

Full Drive Scan

To scan the full drive, select the two terabyte drive as the target drive. This step takes more time than scanning for unallocated space alone but provides a more thorough examination of the entire drive. Once the scan is complete, the tool will display any detected partitions, even if they are labeled as "lost or deleted."

Applying Recovery Changes

After detecting lost or deleted partitions, apply these changes to recover them. Click Finish to initiate the recovery process and wait for it to complete. If successful, the recovered partitions will be visible again.

Managing Newly Recovered Partitions

With the newly recovered partitions in place, manage them by allocating letters to the drives if they are not already visible. This can be done using the "Manage" section of the tool. Right-click on the drive and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths." Clicking "Add" will enable users to choose their own letters for the drive.

Conclusion

Recovering lost or deleted partitions is a complex task that requires patience, knowledge, and the right tools. Mini Tool Partition Recovery Wizard is an essential tool in this process. By following the steps outlined in this article, users can recover their lost data and get back to using their computer without any issues.
