Hello everyone,
I have the strangest issue that I have encountered until now. Yesterday, the computer was running a little bit laggy and I have restarted it a couple of times with the Restart function of Windows (no hard restarts). Upon the last restart, one of my partitions (D:\) appeared in RAW format, being inaccessible, while another one of about 25GB completely disappeared.
The hard drive is a WD2500JB-00REA0 and it has a size of 250GB. Currently, only the D:\ drive appears and it has 119GB of non-formatted data. The HDD appears in the boot screen and it can be assign as a Boot Device in the BIOS screen.
I have tried:
- the Western Digital utility of scanning HDD's - both the quick and extensive test returned absolutely no erros, but the HDD is recognized as having only 128GB.
- the EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition, in which only the D:\ partition appears, at 119GB, but it also sees 250556187 sectors with no bad sectors on a surface test - as shown in this image.
- the diskpart utility, but there is no trace of the 25GB disk
What could have happened? And there is any other way which I could use in order to retrieve the 25GB partition which I need the most, as it contains a lot of impotant files?
