Hey!
In general, I had such a problem: I wanted to increase the size of one of the disk partitions as a director (I moved only the right border of the partition to free space). Next, Acronis suggested that I restart the computer. I expected that the operation is simple, so everything will go quickly, but, either because of my mistake, or because of a bug, after the reboot, Acronis began to do something very complicated and long. Without filling the progress bar by one percent, he rebooted.
As a result, this section, on which there was a system and a bunch of important data, is not readable at all. The file system is defined as None.
Tell me what can be done? Is there any way to restore the partition completely? Or at least save the files?

a) first save the data: R-Studio, Get Data Back
b) if the data is saved, kill the partition and create a new one, it will be easier.

In such cases, it is better to take it to a service center. You can try it yourself, but it's not worth the risk. Although if there is a desire:

If the partition was with the NTFS file system, then you can try the FINDNTFS utility.
At one time, she saved me most of the files from the partition that disappeared due to the fault of Win XP. In the first versions of XP did not support disks larger than 120 gig, it seems. I also had a 200 gig screw, and when copying a large amount of data to disk, the partition fell off.

In Linux, when there was such a problem with the primary partition, it was easy. Using fdisk, the same partition was simply created from the beginning of the disk. The main thing here is to guess the first cylinder) In the end, the partition table does not change the contents of the partitions themselves.
You can also look at the contents of the disk where the partition began. Find the signature and send the beginning of a new section there. Well, this is generally for crazy red-eyed people)

You can use a small distribution kit, pmagic can be loaded from a USB flash drive, from a disk, etc. great contraption, there you need almost everything that is required to restore the partition table and data on the disk.
