I have a HDD with 4 partitions and in a Recovery Console when I listed the partitions all were "Initialized" but the 4th partition was "NOT INITIALIZED" and I don't know why.

The resize operation was made only on part#2 - C:\[System-W7] and #3 - D:\ .

so I don't know why is affected this last partition but now I want to recover the data because when I try to access the drive letter corresponding to the #4th partition it say's: "Drive E:\ is not formatted. Do you want to format it?" and in Paragon Partition Manager (Free ed.) even it detect the size of partition 231 Gb, it says "not formatted" BUT display it as having data on it and I know that on this partition is data.

#Part.no#4 FSID:0x07, Filesystem: ntfs-v.3, Part.Size:231 Gb, Used Space: 0 bytes - NOT INITIALIZED

Who can help me recover my data? What can I do to retrieve the data?

 
Solution
The only way I know how to do this is with paid for software. As a technician, I have this in my "toolkit" for customer repairs. It's not free, it's $79.95, but I have yet to find a suitable Free program that will recover the data.

Thank you but I have recovered with Recuva all data on another partition (it wasn't much to recover, 10GB).
