I was using Active Partition Recovery and accidently wrote over the MBR and now I cant get the last logical partition back. :cry: It's a 250GB hard drive and this is the last partition I need to copy to my new drive. The partition is on the end of the drive and It's about 10GB of stuff on a 50GB partition. I used VirtualLab Client and got the info in the pic. Can someone guide me into getting this partition back? Maybe someone can help me write a new MBR and how to replace the old one. I don't need any other partitions on the drive, just this one.

I have EasyRecovery Pro for things like this, recovering deleted files, partitions etc. Its easy, it recovers, and its pro :)

It snot stricktly Free though, but PM me your MSN or emai ladress if you would like help.

Technicaly this is a software problem, not hardware.

I tried Acronis and it didn't show the partition. I'm downloading easy recovery pro to try that. Time to stick it back in the freezer.

Virtualab shows all my files and everything but it doesnt recover the partition itself and they want $130 to just recover 10 GB.

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
