Recently I have been tinkering on my SONY VAIO (W7 Ultimate) netbook and ended up deleting my local disk D. I deleted it through the disk management thinking that I can still create a new partition for it but it didn't work out as I thought. I tried to recover it EaseUS but still, no luck on finding the disk. Any thoughts?

Hey there again, Yukonissea!

Good thing that you didn't have any important files on that partition, indeed! I'd suggest you check if you will be able to assign a drive letter when you right click on that 1.87 GB partition. Be very careful no to tamper with the System Reserved and the (C: ) boot partitions, otherwise, you might end up reinstalling the OS and everything on the laptop again.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Welcome to the TH Forum, Yukonissea!

Can you, please, share a screenshot of your Disk management and how the HDD appears there? Deleting the partition and creating a new one basically erases all your files on that local disk D. I hope there wasn't anything important there. 🙁 If you have written any data onto that new partition, you most probably won't be able to retrieve any files from the old one. Keep in mind that using third-party data recovery tools is at your own risk and nobody can determine how successful the procedure will be.

Keep me posted. Good luck!

Well, the good thing is it's still brand new and I haven't transferred any of my files from my other laptop. So any solution coming from you guys is fine. And my local disk D was 250gb i think
