Best Portable External Hard Drives Reviews

One of my friends have an IBM external hard drives, once when he copy computer files on the local hard disk, but he deleted the partition, leading to not find the previously partition, when re-use this external hard disk, and the above documents no longer exist, at the began he just thinking about using some data recovery procedures to try, so download a online program EasyRecovery to try to recover data,

However, EasyRecovery can only see a USB device, that is, that external hard disk, select it, click on “next”, program prompts can not be extracted, it can only think of other ways, and so have diskgen in mind, because when the deletion of a partition on the hard disk, it actually does not really delete the data in partitions, but only changed its partition table, so the data inside the hard disk should be intact, as long as find the missing partition table, the computer  will be re-identification the partition of the hard disk, but there is a problem to use diskman,  external hard drives are USB devices, this software diskgen for MS-DOS will not work well or do not work.

Diskgen could be run in the windows9x under DOS window and view the partition information, but not Save, in winXP and win2000 it will not run, the program will prompt can not find the hard disk) it is only in order to run under pure DOS, but in a pure DOS can not load the next USB drive, so I looking for a notebook hard drive and desktop hard disk drive adapter will be directly connected to the chassis of the hard disk data online, the system BIOS after the reboot Locate the hard disk, floppy boot into DOS with the boot prompt, enter diskgen implementation “Tools” run “Rebuilding the partition table”, re-start the computer, problem solved.

Summary: Diskgen (formerly Diskman, now known as DiskGenius) is a powerful hard disk partition management tool, in many cases, can be used. I think it is reconstruction of the partition table feature is particularly useful, its principle is that when the hard disk partition table was damaged by a virus or other reasons, through the unspoiled partition boot record information re-establish the partition table, as long as the hard disk is not formatted, generally can recover hard disk partition table, repair, quit after the necessary Save, restart the system, namely, may be normal. At the same time it’s partition and formatting functionality faster and convenient than fdisk.
