WDR-Partition recovery-Article-Incautious use of DiskPart resulting data loss & Recovery options:


DiskPart is a command line utility by Microsoft Windows that enables you to manage disks, partitions or volume by using scripts or direct input of commands. Functionalities of DiskPart includes creation of partition of a disk, setting the partition active and formatting of the partitions. As DiskPart enables explicit control over the partitions and volumes, many times, incautious usage of it results in data loss demanding any partition recovery software.

Below are some of the cases, where incautious use of DiskPart causes data loss or inaccessibility:

DiskPart converts a basic disk to a dynamic disk. Before using DiskPart, you must ensure that the disk must be empty or contains either primary partition or logical volume to avoid loss of data. Furthermore, the basic disks containing fault-tolerant disk driver (FtDisk), must be converted using Disk manager rather than DiskPart before upgrading, or else, these situations will lead to data loss.

If the hard disk has already been upgraded to dynamic disk, then usage of DiskPart command can damage the partition table leading to data loss and the need of partition recovery becomes inevitable.

DiskPart verifies the particular partition that is is capable of containing an operating system's startup files. If you mistakenly mark a partition as active and it does not contain the operating system's startup files, your computer won't start leaving the data inaccessible.

On basic disks, the partitions are deleted through focus. Thus incorrect choosing of partition focus and thereby deletion causes data loss. Partitions lost in this way can only be recovered using any good partition recovery software.

Be extremely careful while using the 'Create Partition msr' command by DiskPart as it creates Microsoft reserved partitions as the first partition. However, GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks require a particular partition layout and creating Microsoft reserved partitions as the first partition could cause the disk to become unreadable resulting in data loss.

All these cases of data inaccessibility or loss necessitate Partition Recovery as those partitions contain your valuable data. Furthermore, in the above cases, when backup is not available or failed to restore the data due to any erroneous reason, use of partition recovery software to get back your data is the only option left.

These Partition Recovery tools are safe and are easy to use without the need of any prior technical knowledge. The application use a certain set of scanning algorithms which help extracting lost information.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is one of the reliable and effective Partition Recovery software to recover lost, corrupted or inaccessible partition. This software offers risk free recovery through effective scanning and supports all FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, NTFS5 file systems.
