partitioning - How to recover Windows 7 partition?


I created a 50GB partition on my hard drive to experiment with installing a 2nd copy of W7. (I wanted to see if a clean install would fix a bug)


However, It seems I can no longer access the old part of my computer the way it was before. I was under the impression that creating a partition like this was harmless. Is there anyway to change my primary partition back to what the computer boots to?


Thanks


Answer



Usually if you don't explicit delete a partition it will be able to backup, because partition table is mostly changed.


If you have a computer with a working Windows or Linux system you can create a bootable CD with a very good and free partitioning software called Easeus Partition Master (Home Edition):


Just follow the instructions here:

If you have no working computer, you must download from somewhere a Boot-CD, like one of the best i know is Hiren's Boot CD which has a lot of tools on it for partition and MBR-Recovery:


You can find it her: http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
