Hello,
My friend's SSD partition table got completely wiped (except for the EFI partition), and he does not have a backup. I did some diagnostics and ruled out that the SSD is not failing, though I'll keep an eye on it.
I was able to retrieve the files using some recovery tools, but none of the recovery tools were able to "rebuild" the partition table so that I can boot from Windows and use the drive again, despite the files actually being there and the partition being recognized as "RAW" instead of "NTFS".
Is there a way of rebuilding the partition or at least restoring everything to one drive or another without reinstalling drivers and programs again?
It would be a pain to reinstall Windows and the hundreds of programs.
If not, is there a way of automatically backing up everything at regular intervals and being able to restore that backup later on and get everything restored (including programs and drivers, not just documents) as if nothing happened, in one click?
Thanks,
Andrew
