Recovering partitions
- With Acronis Recovery Expert, you can recover hard disk partitions accidentally deleted or damaged due to a hardware or software failure.
You can run Acronis Recovery Expert in the following ways:
While working with Acronis Disk Director Suite in the Automatic mode:
• Selecting Wizards - Recover Partitions or from the Wizards sidebar
While working in the Manual mode:
• Selecting Wizards - Recover Partitions or from the Wizards sidebar
• You can also launch the Acronis Recovery Expert in using Advanced - Recover item of the context menu by right-clicking onto Unallocated space
Then Acronis Recovery Expert begins reading the partition configuration of your hard disks. After the process is finished, you may see a warning that there are no unallocated spaces on your hard disks.
Note
• The entire hard disk space can be partly partitioned and/or partly unallocated. If you delete a disk partition - whether intentionally or by mistake - its space becomes unallocated. You can Create a new partition using unallocated space only.
Acronis Recovery Expert checks to see if your hard disks contain unallocated space. If you have no unallocated space, then it makes no sense to search for deleted partitions. If you have unallocated space, it may have contained one or more partitions. Acronis Recovery Expert will search unallocated space thoroughly - either automatically or manually.
You can recover deleted partitions automatically or manually. To do so, set the switch to the necessary position in the Recovery mode window:
• Automatic recovery mode
• Manual recovery mode
