Topic: Deleted partition table

Booted gparted live usb on a windows machine.  Resized the main partition successfully which left unallocated space and the newly resized partition with all of my data.  Then I went to create partition table like a moron and hit ok even through the warning because I was talking to someone and now viola... All unallocated space.  I stopped right there.. is there a way to undo this?

Re: Deleted partition table

This deleted the partition table of the hard drive.

You could try to use "testdisk", that is able to scan the hard drive content for partition entries, and very often recreate the partition table.
testdisk is included in the USB live.

For more info on testdisk, please check the official web site.

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***
