Is it possible to recover files in this case and how?

Question

Data recovery

Hello!
What can I advise a person in such a situation:
from under Windows, by standard means, two logical disks were combined into one unallocated area. No formatting has been done. So far, no further action has been taken (the computer was turned off). Now you need to correct the error, restore this data. How best to proceed, what are the chances?

Answer 1

If you have not performed any manipulations other than creating a new logical drive (formatting, writing new data), then the chances should be good.
Connect the disk to a computer with a working OS, download the free R.saver and run a full scan.
If you need more information, start with a video about recovering files after formatting (it is close on the topic, but in no case do not format the disk yourself ), or write here in the comments.
First make sure that no programs or OS will write anything to the disk when connected, and refuse if Windows prompts you to initialize or format. Judging by the post, this is not yet possible, but still: also do not save anything to disk yourself (including data recovery programs).
In addition, if the question is about the SSD, prepare in advance and do not turn on the disk in vain - the TRIM command can permanently erase the data. You must either act quickly or turn it off.

Answer 2

The odds are very good, if that's the case. were the original logical drives with the ntfs file system? if yes, then turn on the computer, search, download and install getdataback for ntfs and use it on the physical disk that has undergone the procedure for removing logical disks, start the search. this program will offer, in theory, several options for how it sees the partitioning of the disk at the moment before deleting partitions, choose the very first option, everything should be found without loss. the program will allow you to save to any disk, except for the one being scanned, so if you do not have enough space, you will have to find another disk of sufficient size somewhere and repeat the procedure. after you restore everything and make sure that everything is ok - you can work with the original physical disk further: create logical (logical), format,
