I need help with partitions

[jan1024188]

I need help.

I have just removed all partitions on my disc. I didnt want to do that. Now, there s nothing on my hdd.

I need a tool like a Live CD, to get all partitions back. Please help me.
I had NTFS, HFS+ and EXT partitions.

Which program to use?

Hi Jan !

check this sticky.

Will UBCD recover ntfs partition too? I had some important data there, and I dont want to screw up.

What about MBR?

I had a Vista Bootloader

yes. did you try TestDisk? its easy to use, most accurate and very fast.

What about MBR?

MBR? did you delete partitions or formatted whole disk?
MBR is not a part of Partition Table. it stored separately in First Sector of HardDisk along with Partition Table.

I formatted the whole disc I think.
Theres nothing on it, just unpartitioned space.

Ive removed everything from my laptop HDD (with damn OS X), and now I have unpartitioned space.
I am just into a TestDisk, and I selected Intel partitioning tables.

It finds me an Extended NTFS partition, but I dont think I had extended before. Im sure it was primary.
Also TestDisk says that NTFS in 81 gb big. Its a 150GB partition, but I think it was about 80gb full. Is this ok?

What will happen when I select "write". Will this bring my data back?
Can I screw up with this? I dont wanna lose any data, if there is still any, because when I select to list files on that extended NTFS, it says that partition is corrupted.

What should I do?

[devils casper]

its not possible to recover data from Formatted disk using free packages like TestDisk or UBCD. these are for Partition Table Recovery only.
try commercial data recovery packages. i dont know anything about Commercial Packages and can't help you here. sorry !

ok, I made a partition table (it was made, with errors)

Boot sector: BAD
jan birsa: Sectors are not identical
A valid ntfs sector must be presented in order to acess any data

Now I have a 80gb NTFS partition BUT ITS EMPTY.
There is no VISTA on it.

Before there wa a ntfs partition about 152gb big.

So, can I resize NTFS partition to bigger size in TestDisk to get files back. Or Could I resize NTFS to bigger size and make another ntfs partition on my disk. I would install windows on it and some unformatting tools. Would that help?

Like devils_casper said, when you formatted the drive, you overwrote some or all of the data you wanted to recover, I think at this point even a professional would have a hard time recovering from that drive now. Each time you write to the disc, you decrease your odds of a recovery.

well, mac os x destroyed all data so I had to install everything again

For future reference. If you save a copy of the partition table
on a floppy or CD, you can use this to recover partitions after
an accident.
