4.4. Recover Data from Lost Drive/Unallocated Partition

Stellar Data Recovery allows you to locate and recover data from a Lost Drive/Unallocated Partition from a connected hard drive. The Partition becomes unallocated/RAW when a drive letter is not assigned, a partition is accidentally deleted, or a file system is damaged or corrupted. The unallocated partition is not listed under the drives on the PC; therefore, you cannot access any files from this partition.

With Stellar Data Recovery, recover the lost data from unallocated space and access your files and folders easily. This function works on Raw Recovery to recover the lost data from unallocated partition.

Steps to Recover Data From Lost Drive:

1. Run Stellar Data Recovery.

2. From What to Recover screen, select the desired type of data, i.e., Documents, Emails, Videos, Audio or Photos you wish to recover. Everything is selected by default. You can also customize your scan by selecting among the available types of data.

3. Click Next.

4. On Recover From screen, select Lost Drive.

5. Click Scan button. A screen showing the scanning process is displayed.

Note: When there are multiple unallocated spaces on a hard disk, it will appear under Recover From as Lost Drive 1, Lost Drive 2, and so on. You can select only one Lost Drive at a time for recovery.

Note: You can click Stop  button if you need to stop the scan process.
