In need of bad partition recovery freeware

Asked By Wallace Browning 40 points N/A Posted on - 02/12/2013

I'm really having a bad day.  I couldn't access a lot of applications on my Windows 8 64 bit desktop PC.  I ran Avast antivirus and it found a lot of viruses and malware.  It disinfected some and it deleted some.  Now, I lost a large partition on a GPT drive.  Are there any bad partition recovery freeware out there that actually works?

In need of bad partition recovery freeware

 

Hi there Wallace,

 

I'm really sorry to hear about your troubles.

 

There are several free tools that can help you with recovering the lost partition. My first choice would be Easeus Partition Recovery as a very strong and free tool that works with Windows 8. Another suggestion would be an Active@ Partition Recovery as a bit simpler utility, but still functional and good enough.

 

The biggest problem with free recovery tools is that they are often not so much user friendly, so you may check Stellar Phoenix Partition Recovery too. It is not a freeware, but offers you a free evaluation of the software.
