Yesterday, I found my E partition missing. I don't know why and can't find the partition in Disk Management either. There are many previous photos in the partition. Is there any way to get the partition back or if not, any way to get the photos back? Emergent!!!

Thank you in advance!

ha14,Thanks for all your recommendations very much. Well, i used the easus partition recovery to get ALL my photos BACK!!! Before i used the freeware, i had compared all your recommendations. I finally found that the easeus partition recovery was very suitable for me and i found that a number of people had downloaded the software on download.cnet.com, so i just tried it. It's really a perfect freeware and it found my partitions in a short time. Now i like going to the easeus.com to find useful softwares. haha ,i have recommended my company to use one of their products called easus partition manager unlimited edition. My boss praised me.http://www.partition-tool.com/epm-unlimited.htmI really think this site is worth paying attention. Maybe we can find worthful information.

If you aren't confident you can do this yourself, send your drive to a lab. they can recover more files the sooner you stop using your computer.
