Linux is basically a command based operating system, where, there is a command for each operation and users, who use Linux based computers are usually known as more technically sound individuals. But, however tech savvy one may be, accidental deletion of data is quite common even in case of Linux systems. Moreover, sometimes while resizing partitions with various third-party utilities, important existing Linux partition gets accidentally deleted causing a serious data loss situation. In such a case of Linux data deletion, a Linux data recovery software can help you recover your lost partition back.

Users make multiple logical partitions to a single hard disk drive for the convenience of data storage. Moreover, Linux operating system based computers are often with multiple partitions and each of the individual partition has a fixed size. It is quite common that the need of partition space changes and hence, the need to resize the partition arises. Though, there are several partition resizing tools for Linux systems do exist, there lies a number of potential risks of partition loss as well. Therefore, the whole process of partition resizing becomes more complex than it actually seems...

A Linux-based hard drive can be divided into primary, logical, swap, or foreign partitions. These partitions are assigned a pre-defined space at the time of installation of the Linux operating system. However, as the requirements of the user change with a passage of time, the users increase or decrease the size of these partitions accordingly. To do so, the users either opt for FDISK utility or any third-party application. While the process of re-partitioning allows the user to fulfill all partitioning requirements, it might also result into complete unmount ability of the hard drive, if not performed systematically. In most of these situations, the user encounters an error message that does not allow him/her to access the data saved on any of the hard drive partitions. To overcome such error messages, the user needs to opt for an effective third-party Linux Data Recovery application, if s/he has not maintained any backup...

For our convenience of storing data, in our Linux system, we used to make several logical file system(ext3,ext2,ext4 etc) based partitions to our physical hard drive. File system is a programmed set of rules, which is implemented for the storage, manipulation, hierarchical organization, navigation and access of the stored data through the operating system of the computer. Inside the partition, as a whole, data is stored under two sections: Meta data and User data. Under the meta data section, all the information of the corresponding partition information are stored in a systematic way. After that, under the user data section, all our data is stored.

If due to any problem, the Meta data section of the Linux system gets corrupted, the system fails to access the information regarding the partitions in the drive and hence, all our data residing in the partitions gets lost or inaccessible. In such as case, with the help of Linux data recovery we can be able to recover back our valuable data...

The partition is considered as a piece of logical division of the disk space, which runs on some operating system. Partition table is located at the first sector (cylinder 0, head 0 and sector 1, MBR) of each hard disk and It memorizes the information about sizes and locations of partitions. Hence, any corruption to the partition table, may lead to serious data loss or inaccessibility, demanding LINUX recovery technology to get back your valuable data.

Scenario:

You started your LINUX system and suddenly your system halted with an error message popping up. All your data in the hard drive becomes inaccessible and you are getting the same error message, every time you boot your PC. The situation has left you with no other option except something like LINUX data recovery to get your data back. The error message flashing on your screen may read as follows:

“The partition table on device <drive_name> was unreadable”

Cause:...
