  1. Hi Dennis, What happens after 3 hours of the promised 24 hours the program has finished and didnot found a partition. So I had to start all over again and I tried another suggestion Partion Wizard Home Edition 5.2. That program did also not find a partition but recommend to download PDR6free (power data recovery) also from MiniTool. That program could recover I hope all of the data from the corrupted/deleted partition (photo's, documents, even .dbx files from Outlook Express and several cabs. All together more then 12 GB. But all as raw data e.i. all photo's (.jpg) were numbered form 1 to 3600 and also all documents. So no names but numbers So far so good. I will have a look at your last suggestions now. I tried Testdisk but it is a command line program. Was it a system partitions. Yes and no. It is a Packard Bell laptop with normally 2 partitions. The C: partitions is used by PB to recover XP form scratch in case of problems. De d: partition is the boot partition having XP installed and all of the user data on it. As the laptop didn't start up properly, somebody installed XP from a CD to the C: partition, after trying to recover it from C:. Those actions did delete or corrupt the d: partition. What I will do now is install XP on C: and use the d: as a data partition.
  2. Hi Dennis I have burned the iso of RK_free to a CD. I booted from CD and started to search for deleted partions. The first cycle costed almost 14 hours and then the progress indicators showed only about 40 % and the process continued with another 24 hour. It will take a long time. But now after 4 hours of that 24 I see that some deleted partitions has already been found.Unforunately it shows the sectors in hex formats. I had hoped that the old partionname was also recoverd. But I still have 20 hours to go now, so I let you know on saturday regards Gijs
  3. Hi DennisD,, Thank you for your welcome in this forum and for your suggestions. Before I will try to restore the deleted partition I like to save as much data as possible. I followed your idea to make the directory structure visible. At first I didn't really understand it, because in order to alter the options you described I had to discard the wizard. I did set the options like you told me and then pressed the scan. It was ready just in a split second. I saw a few directories always starting with a dollar-sign. So I started the wizard again in a nightly run and after 7 hours (for 15 GB of unallocated disk space) I found out that 400 documents were found. But I saw no directory structure at all. But ... while saving the data to an external disk I saw a directory structure appearing including the documents. Great !!! :D I didn't have to sort out all the documents, they were already placed in the correct directory !! Now I started again to scan the disk for all the pictures on it. And after that the music and the video. When everything is saved I will try to recover the partition using one of your programs. Can I run Paragon from a usb-stick ? I let you know regards Gijs
  4. Hello, From a friend I received a laptop with 2 partions on it. One partition with Windos xP Home (C:) on it and the other partition is corrupted or even deleted. The later was the original boot partitions with XP and user data while the c: partition was the windows recovery partion. Problem is now how to recover the data form that lost partition. With a very special program I can mount the unallocated partion and with recuva in wizard mode I started to recover the data. I started with Pictures. It cost over 7 hours to recover a lot of pictures, even Windows and program pictures, gifs and png where recoverd, where I was only looking for data in My Documents. Is there a special mode or tric using recuva whereby I can recover files in a structured way in the original directory. Is there also a mode to recover the lost partition without losing data. Because the program I have used (Partition Find and Mount) is only temporary mounting the lost partition regards Gijs
