Recover a dynamic disk partition in win7?

November 21st, 2012, 23:37

hi,

i have accidentally clicked on delete volume on a mirror-volume. the problem is i delete the volume without realizing it will delete the other mirror volume as well. i am wondering is there any quick way to retrieve back the partition without going through the common data recovery route? the volumes are dynamic disk and running on win7.. it is showing as unallocated space now. have not format or created a volume over it. please help!

*i know there is a fix within windows using dmdiag but that is for non-mirror volume only. also tried with various partition recovery tools but still unable to recover the partition as they only worked with basic disk, not dynamic disk.

Are you accepting the risks involved with DIY? if so then maybe look at:

Depending on what version of Win7 & if VSS is enabled you could try Previous versions

Having raid is still not a replacement for back ups.
