This is related to question: How do get my Windows 7 partition back after a blue screen? about losing the Windows 7 partition completely.

I wonder if a Partition Recovery tool is a good, reliable one? There seem to be 4 that are free listed as top of Google search of "Partition Recovery": Active@ Partition Recovery ( http://partition-recovery.com ), Mini Tool Partition Recovery, DiskInternals Partition Recovery, and EaseUS Partition Recovery.

Is one of them a good and reliable one? Thanks so much.

I have used Mini Tool Recovery.

With MT Recovery I restored very easy 2 logical partitions.

Partition Wizzard (same company) seems also quite reliable for partition operations.

  • I used Mini Tool Recovery on Vista to recover my Win 7 partition, it said "Please select the partition you need from the following list"... and I chose the partition to recover. (I chose Win 7). And Mini Tool actually went ahead and deleted my Vista partition after saying it is in use and "restart". I guess it meant "Choose the partition you need" and it will delete the ones you didn't choose. Not "Choose the partition you need to recover".

The EaseUS one will attempt to recover files, but will not make any attempt on a partition. In a recent test of it, it found essentially nothing on a Mac HFSJ+ disk. I have confirmed this with their tech support department.

DataRescue from Prosoft is another one. It also does not attempt to rebuild a partition, but only scans the disk space for files. (Based on version 4.) I have a tech support query in about this.
