Retrieving lost data from partitions is bit complicated compared to recovery of deleted files or folders. Data loss from partitions can happen due to human errors as well as due to malfunction of the computer. Some of the common reasons for losing data from partitions include accidental deletion or formatting of the partition, severe virus infection, file system corruption etc. Sometimes more than one of your partitions could disappear from your system. If the problem is due to corruption or damage to the master boot record (MBR) you will not be able to boot the system. To recover data from lost or inaccessible partitions you need to first restore partitions. An efficient way to restore partitions and the lost data is by using partition recovery software.
A hard drive is divided into multiple partitions where each partition works as a separate drive. FAT is a Windows file system which is not only used in computer systems, it is also used in memory cards. It is commonly found on floppy disk, flash memory cards, digital cameras, and many other portable devices because of their relatively simplicity. The major versions of the FAT are FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32. But its use on hard drives has declined since the introduction of Windows XP, which primarily uses the newer New Technology File System (NTFS). With the advancement of NTFS, usage of FAT file system has been restricted to USB drives. The popularity of NTFS over FAT is due to the fact that more advanced features are supported by NTFS file system. However there are still laptops and USB drives that make use FAT file system. The major setback of FAT file system with respect to the data loss is that the file system lacks a good crash recovery or security option, which automatically makes the FAT file system more prone to data loss. Switching over from FAT to NTFS is not the only way you lose data from partitions. Formatting the partition, corruption of partition and deletion of partitions can also cause data loss. Accidental deletions of partition or formatting are common cases, which leads to data loss. Whereas partition corruption can be caused by software malfunction or improper shut down of the system. Files lost from partitions can be recovered if the data is not overwritten by other files or programs.
