Deleted Storage Partition - Recovery

[BWG]

So, I was re-installing Windows on Wednesday, and I accidentally deleted my storage partition which had all of my important stuff on it. I have pulled files before off drives, but this time I was trying to actually restore the partition since I had no writes to it after the format. I'm trying to use DiskGetor right now, and I think it may work, but I'm curious what others have done who have ran into this situation, or one similar to it.

Yeesh! GL in the recovery. I wish I could help, but I have never accidentally deleted a partition before.

Ha! no seriously, I have never deleted a partition by accident. Not in the last 25 years at least. I might have done it on my 386 back in the day to a 10MB HDD.

Wait, I am actually loosing here. I'm -1 and you are -0 which isn't a real number, but is just 0.  Damnit. Touché.

I could not just restore the partition, but I am pulling all of the files. Problem is, the last item is my 4k movie collection which is roughly 4TB and my RAID is 3 TB, so I'm pulling every drive I own into the mix to hopefully get it all back.

It's an older program, but I've used Power Data Recovery and I think that will do what you want.

There is a good chance you could restore the partition table using testdisk.  TestDisk is include with the GParted live iso. https://gparted.org/livecd.php

I may give that a go after I transfer all but the movies to my local.
