Jamie, if you've accidentally deleted a partition on your external hard drive, don't panic! Try using a partition recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard or Recuva to scan the drive and recover the deleted partition. You can also try using the built-in Disk Management tool in Windows to attempt to recreate the partition. If the partition was accidentally deleted, it's possible that the data is still intact and can be recovered. If you're unable to recover the partition, you may want to consider using a data recovery service or consulting with a professional data recovery specialist.
When a partition is deleted or lost on an external hard drive, the first step is to stop using the computer immediately. This is crucial because any further operation on the Mac or PC can result in the partition and its data being lost permanently. Once that's done, the next step is to learn how to recover the lost partition on the external hard drive.
To recover lost or deleted data from a partition on an external hard drive, you'll need a professional tool. First, use the tool to scan the external hard drive and locate the lost or deleted partition. Once found, the tool can recover the data from the partition. Next, create a new partition on the external hard drive using the tool or the computer's built-in disk management utility. Finally, restore the recovered data to the new partition on the external hard drive.
One of the best tools to retrieve the files from the lost partition on the external hard drive is Deep Data Recovery, which enables you to easily scan the hard drive for the lost partition data, covering almost all file types saved in the partition on your external hard drive, using two standalone scanning modes: Quick Scan and Deep Scan.
The software is available for both Mac and Windows PCs, so you can download the version that matches your operating system.
If you're unable to partition an external hard drive, try multiple times to ensure it's recognized. Note that this process is performed on a computer, and without one, you won't be able to recover files on an external hard drive on either a Mac or Windows PC.
Try the default one to scan the external hard drive for lost or deleted files in the lost or deleted partition.
Deep Scan can find more files on a lost partition on an external hard drive, but it takes longer than Quick Scan and may provide a better recovery result. You can try it in the result window to scan for more data.
To recover deleted data from an external hard drive, first, use a data recovery software to scan the drive and retrieve lost files. Then, create a new partition on the external hard drive and move the recovered data to the new partition. This will ensure all recovered data is safely stored in a separate partition, making it easily accessible and preventing any further data loss.
