Hard disk stores many important files, but it is brittle. That is because hard disk data security is threatened by many factors, such as virus attack, hard disk adjustment tool, hard disk impact, sudden power failure. Under these situations, partitions sometimes may disappear. At this time, how can we recover lost partitions? What factors result in partition loss? Generally, hard disk partitions will not lose easily. However, if we perform accidental operations or hard disk partition is disturbed by external factors, hard disk partitions may be lost. For example, when resizing FAT partition with parts of partition management software, some users may press down Restart Button with mistakenly thinking system crash after they wait a period of time. Under this condition, hard disk partitions may be lost. In fact, in the process of resizing partition, data need transferring, so it will cost a long time. Moreover, if users install some system software, such as Linux, partition also may be lost if they are unfamiliar with operations. Once partitions are lost, users, generally, choose partition recovery software to recover lost partition.

Among partition loss, FAT partition loss is commonly seen. Fortunately, there are many methods for recovering FAT partitions. Partition recovery software can recover lost FAT partitions, and partition management software also can recover lost FAT partitions. Between them, partition recovery software is used more widely. Partition recovery software can recover the following types of partition loss:
  1. Lost partitions caused by accidental deletion.
  2. Losing partitions with using unknown software.
  3. Partition loss because of incorrect operations.
  4. Lost partitions caused by virus attack.
