Now many of you got this question is it possible to get back the files from the deleted partitions. Yes you can get files back from deleted partition but no one will say it for sure. During the recovering process you can't all files back.

There are two methods to get your file back

1) If you deleted c drive and all your files are deleted then you can use system restore option to restore your system to last saved position. But am not sure how this method works for you. Some or many of you might find this method wont work because your c drive is formatted or deleted and you can get any boot manager to load files from your backup.

But you can use restore factory setting to get back the windows boot manager and all your files in the c drive is lost and you cant get anything back. This method wont give you any positive response if you delete or format c drive and you can retrieve or recover any files.

2) Another method to recover files from the deleted or formatted partition other than windows drive can be done by using any of the professional recovery manager. This might take lot of time and the files you recovered from this process may be partial too. But one good news is that you can get at least few files from that drive. Recovery process takes long time and it may takes upto a day.
