AltDataRecovery - Partition Recovery

Partition Recovery contains three functions. They are Partition Table Backup, Partition Table Restore and Partition Recovery. If you notice all partitions of a hard disk do not show up in "My Computer" or can not be open, the partition table information of the hard disk may has been damaged by misoperation or virus. Partition Recovery can handle the problem for you.

Note: It is recommended that users should run Partition Table Backup to create a backup file after format or re-partition a hard drive. By doing that, users can always restore the healthy partition information to the damaged partition.

Partition Table Backup:

To prevent misoperation or virus from damaging the partition table information, you should backup the partition table of a hard disk every time you repartition it.

To backup the partition table, all you need is to select a target hard disk and click the Partition Table Backup button.

Select a safe location to save the backup file. We suggest you to put the backup file to some removable storage devices such as USB drive, memory card or other writable media.

Partition Table Restore:

In the case all partitions of a hard disk are missing, you can use Partition Table Restore to restore the backup file to the hard disk.

Select the target hard disk and click on the Partition Table Restore button. Select the backup file that you made from the target hard disk.

Caution: It is very import that you should restore the backup file that is most recently backup from the target hard disk. If the backup file was not created from the target hard disk, the result will be unpredictable.

Only the matched backup file will be restore to the target hard disk. If there is no error in the partition table, the backup file will not be restored.

Partition Table Recovery:

Partition Table Recovery is used to rescue a hard disk in the case that the partition table has been damaged and you do not have a backup file of the hard disk. Partition Table Recovery will determine the partition layout on the hard disk by scanning the entire disk. By gathering information, the software tries to re-create the partition table so that the partitions of the target hard disk can be shown in "My Computer" again.
