Want to restore the lost partition on the hard disk without data loss

“Hello there! I need your help. I am using Windows 10, which has three partitions C, D, and E. Everything was normal until last night, but when I turned on my HP laptop this morning, there was nothing on the E partition. It became unallocated space. I don't know what happened to my laptop. I am not technically proficient, so I don't know how to do it, but I want my hard disk partition to come back. Please help me.”

Why are the hard disk partition lost?

Some users may have questions. I did not deliberately delete the partition, but why is it lost?

There are many reasons for partition loss. Some of them are common, but some are not. Generally, partition loss may be caused by the following reasons:
☞ Deleted by mistake. Unfortunately, even professionals make this mistake.
☞ The operating system may fail to recognize the partition as a result of bad sectors.
☞ Partition loss can occur as a result of damage to the partition table caused by viruses, other malicious software, or incorrect disk operations.
☞ A power outage will result in a power surge, which could damage the entire hard drive and all of its partitions.
☞ The volume label, drive letter, or partition name is missing.

Maybe you will be concerned after reading these reasons. But don't worry, the lost partition can be restored under certain conditions. Of course, you need to use a reliable hard disk partition recovery tool.
