Hello,
I accidentally deleted a logical partition containing
Windows Vista (not encrypted). This was accidentally
deleted in Windows XP Disk Manager
I recovered the partition using Acronis Disk Director.Try ResQitHello - I haven't tried out your tool yet.

I couldn't get t to work in XP.
I have used bootNG to "undelete" the partition.
I used a free tool, HxD to view the the last and first disk
sectors of this partition. The last was correct. I looked
at the first sector and it was zero's. I copy and pasted the
sector at the end to the beginning.
However, disk management in Windows XP says the type
is RAW. Is it just the partition table that's bad at this point?
Any thoughts on what to do next?
The starnge this is, it ran for about an hour in "quick" mode
and didn't find anything, so I set it to he slow, thorough mode
and it found it in about 10 seconds.
PArtition table fixed, booted up Vista without any problems.
Took a cursory look at what I could in windows explorer,
my data ifles were in tact, I assumed windows itelf was too,
since it booted without error - I scheduled a chkdsk for the next boot
which ran and found hundreds of index and security descriptor
problems.
It's a week-old install, first time I've ever seen Vista. It's quite
different from XP. If it wasn't for my private data in there,
I would have just scrapped it. Not sure what to make of the chkdsk
errors, at least I can now reinstall it without losing my data.
Cheers,
Dave
