Is my data gone?

Thegreatnero · Jul 30, 2014

Okay so I turn my pc on thi morning and I notice that my games hdd is missing from explorer, so going into the disk management window I see that it has become unallocated space.

Hoping to god it might work I re-assigned the drive letter but when I try to access the hdd it says that it has lost the file system. How can I get the file system back? And is my data gone? At no point did I see anything about overwriting or formatting that drive.

Try Recuva, you might be able to recover your data with it: https://www.piriform.com/recuva

Eduello :

Recuva trows out an error saying it cannot determine the file system type. Thank you for showing me the program, it could defiantly come in useful at another time

I've been in the same boat and this worked for me, but it took a very long time and the drive was only 500GB.

Recovering a RAW partition is tricky and there's no guarantee that the data will be recoverable, unfortunately.

Try Partition Find and Mount:

Otherwise can you show us the contents of sector 0 with a disc editor (eg DMDE freeware).

Sector 0 is where the partition table lives.
