[Creeva's World 2.0] Recovering A Lost Windows Partition
Recovering A Lost Windows Partition(My Original Blog Post:

Picture from here
A few months ago my home server lost all of my MP3's from a share. I
was freaking out thinking some process had magically deleted them. Then
I noticed the partition was missing. I spent a few days banging my head
against the wall trying to recover the data and nothing helped. Since
I'm a listener of Security Now, I attempted to use Spin Rite on the
drive, even this didn't help it. I was freaking out.I set aside the
drive and re-addressed it yesterday. A friend of mine had a copy of
Partition Doctor 3.5 and we ran it against my drive. In a matter of
minutes we managed to get teh drive back up and all of the MP3's were
there. Neither my wife and I were too anxious to go through the 2-3
week ripping process we did last time when we re-ripped at a higher bit
rate.This is not a promotion, I get no money from the links you click,
if however you do have an issue with a lost windows partition, try
Partition Doctor's demo version and it will show you if it can be
recovered.To read all my other blog posts - past, present, and future -
