HDD “unpartitioned” itself? – This is how you recover it!
Hello,
I recently had a major problem where some very important files of mine were stored on my HDD, i removed the HDD, installed Windows onto a different HDD, and inserted the old HDD back in as primary slave.
It failed. The older hard drive was detected by Windows as having no partition formatted to it at all.
Curious as to how this could possibly have happened, I searched the net for a way to access the “unpartitioned” hard drive.
After a few minutes of searching, I found what i was looking for. A piece of free software called TestDisk.
I used this software, and it works perfectly!
