I tried to change partition on my dynamic disk in windows 7 and actually deleted entire volume .

Is it possible to recover a data somehow ?

upd: a bit more explanation. it was a single HDD with 2 primary partitions, I tried to combine them into one and windows created this as dynamic drive. I wanted to change back and tried another way and selected first simple volume and chose Delete Volume in Disk management utility, but this removed ENTIRE disk. So, now I'm having one big unallocated partition.

Questions:

  1. is it possible to fully recover file system (files and folder structure)

  2. if not, how to recover data.

I was able to recover all data with TestDisk. It's a really great tool.

So, TestDisk was able to find my last partitions and FS and I copied data via TestDisk to another HDD. Later, I experimented a bit and re-write partitions on the original drive. This returned disk to original state and after chkdsk command all files become accessible.
