Posted September 28, 200618 yr I have Two drives on one of my PC's. E:\, and C:\ C: Has windows installed onto it, but for some reason my computer will not boot up off it. E: HAD windows installed onto it, and that worked fine. I was about to reinstall windows onto the C: Drive but accidentally erased the wrong partition (on my E: drive). Is there any way to get everything back off that erased partition without taking the drive out of the PC?
September 28, 200618 yr Hmm, I think the easiest way would be to just take the disk out and plug it into another machine and get the backup. I have been in a similar situtation b4 (I think) and I just took HDD out. end of... edit: However if you E: has windows on it already just switch the 2 connectors from the other hdd into the other :/ and boot up, you can format your C: from your E: to save switching leads back if your lazy... ask for more details if you want. / Typo
September 28, 200618 yr Author Taking the drives out or doing anything physically to them aren't options atm. On that PC right now I'm on a live CD of ubuntu, know of recovery software for linux?
September 29, 200618 yr you might be able to download erd commander which recover deleted files and shit and restores your system backt onew. its jsut like a live cd except that it is for recovering your pc contents back. I was also gonan recommend either BArt PE or even file scavenger but I thgink they only allow you to recover files on a dead hd, so they probabaly woulnd't let you recover a whole partition thats already been deleted. try out those progs though and tell me how everything goes/.
