codemonkey Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hello all, I've been using Defraggler for some time now and have found it to be a great reliable program. Last night I started a defrag on all three partitions of my single physical HDD. I awoke to find the defrag "complete" and only two of the partitions listed. After a reboot, things are the same. Windows Disk Management sees the missing partition as Free Space, and only gives me the option to create a new blank partition. Windows 7 64bit Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Any ideas?

codemonkey Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have managed to restore the deleted partition using MiniTool Partition Recovery. I don't know if the MBR was corrupt but all the data on the disk is fine and there are no bad sectors after a scan. Are there any logs I can provide you with for a bug report?

Alan_B Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 1. Do not panic. Wait for expert advice before trying your luck with fixes that may do more damage. 2. A screnn shot of Windows Disc Management might assist those that can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 N.B. You are fortunate the Disc was MBR, I lost all partitions on a GPT disk and Minitool Partition Recovery is not suitable for GPT discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemonkey Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 N.B. You are fortunate the Disc was MBR, I lost all partitions on a GPT disk and Minitool Partition Recovery is not suitable for GPT discs. Lucky indeed! I had a bit if a general clean up yesterday, including un-installing lots of stuff and running ccleaner, but I rebooted and used the computer for a few hours before running defraggler so I am fairly certain the other actions were not the culprit. Again, if you require further information or log files for a bug report, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I am happy that you got your data back. I will leave it for a moderator to advise upon whether log files etc. would be of value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
