recovery after diskpart clean
Posted: 23 Mar 2017, 07:18
Hello all,
While trying to install Windows on a GPT system I accidently did a disk clean. Though I believed it would do it for a partition only, it did it for the entire disk. I found out from the forum at https://superuser.com/questions/1001110 ... part-clean, that recovery is still possible and stumbled upon this place.
Can someone please suggest how can I recover the data? Prior configuration was 2 partition (250 GB with Windows installed, 750 GB with data - which is the one I am concerned about). I did a format of the Windows drive with 250 GB and when i tried installing Windows I could not due to it being a GPT type. Thus I tried diskclean. After doing diskclean, I see a single partition of 932 GB. I haven't made any further writes to it.
I just need some expert's guidance so I don't loose anything at all. This data contains pictures of my grandmother who passed away in October last year, and I literally cried when I found out 750 GB drive is gone. Stackoverflow post gave me some hope but it did not have detailed instructions. I would really appreciate if some expert can really help me out to get the data recovered.
