Scarecrow Man Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 So I boot my computer with 4 SATA drives and 1 IDE drive, trying to format the SATA drives (RAID 5) and I see one drive come up... not thinking about the IDE drive I go to delete partition. It asks if I am sure "press L to continue" so I press L.Oops...I deleted the partition on the IDE disk; the one with all the data backed up on it.I have tried Active@ Partition Recovery, which seems to work, but I am unable to recover since it is not freeware.If anyone knows of a simple partition recovery tool, please let me know B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
