How To: Recovering Deleted Disk Volumes in Windows (trying to)

This is a how to on recovering a deleted volume from a hard disk. It could work or you could lose all your data. Well not lose, but it'll be even harder to get back. The process depends on how the volume was initially deleted. 99% of the time it will be an accident in disk management or diskpart. It happens.

The first part of this video is setting up a virtual hard drive containing a couple of files on a deleted volume.

...the recovery process starts. There's not much to it.

I don't have any spare drives so this was verified on a virtual hard drive. I show how to set this up at the start of the video in case you haven't actually deleted a volume and are watching just to learn the process.

As also noted in the video, partitions and volumes are different. If you have a deleted partition, you're likely need something a bit more powerful to access/recover the files.
