There are situations when one of the hard disk partitions stops working correctly. This may be after installing any program that could cause the hard drive partition to malfunction, or for another reason. Typically, the damaged hard disk partition then has a RAW file system and zero capacity. And to be able to use it again, you need to restore the file system.
It is necessary
- - A computer;
- - TuneUp Utilities program.
Instructions
Step 1
It is very difficult to solve this problem without partial loss of files. But with the right approach, the loss of files can be reduced to almost zero. Right-click on the hard disk partition whose file system you want to restore. In the context menu that appears, select "Format". In the window that appears, select the file system in which to format the partition. Set the formatting method to "Fast". By formatting the disk in this way, you can recover information later. Then click "Start". In a few seconds, the hard disk partition will be formatted and the file system restored.
Step 2
Now that the hard disk partition has been formatted and the file system has been recovered, you can recover lost information as well. After returning the file system, do not save any information in this section, as this will significantly increase the chances of data recovery. To restore them, you need the TuneUp Utilities program. Download the program from the Internet and install it on your computer.
Step 3
Run the program. After scanning your computer, you will be taken to the main menu of the program. In this menu, left-click on the "Fix problems" tab. In the window that appears, select "Recover Deleted Data". In the next window, mark the desired disk partition and click "Next". Another window will appear. You do not need to write anything in the "Search Criteria" line, since you are not looking for a specific file. In the same window, check the box next to the line "Show files only in good condition" and click "Next". The process of searching for deleted files will begin. After its completion, the found files will be displayed in the program window. Just select them with the left mouse button and click "Restore" at the bottom of the program window. Lost files will be recovered.
