Problem: How to get back old partitions?
Error Made: Unknowingly I fired the clean command in repair pc CMD, while installing Windows 10.

Totally my disk with three partitions.
Partition 1: Where I Tried to install windows10, but thrown an error as mentioned below.
Partition2 & 3 : other partitions which were gone after entering clean command.

While I was installing Windows10, it is showing an error like windows cannot be installed on this partition, it is GPT partition, which is partition 1.


So went to repair my pc --> Repair PC selected advanced options and command prompt then.

> diskpart
> list disk
> select disk 0
> list partition
> select partition 1
>clean

Then I checked

>list partition
No partitions are available
>list disk
it is giving total disk capacity around 950 GB as disk 0

Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Z580



Please help me out..... 🙁

nothing you can do. the command you gave "cleaned" everything on the pc.

if you've not touched it since the windows install, you may still be able to recover some data with recovery software but it is unlikely you'll get it all or that it would be complete.

sadly you've likely lost most all of the data you're hoping to get back. hopefully anything real important was backed-up elsewhere. sucks but many learn this lesson the hard way just like this

Try running testdisk, if it can't bring the partitions back it may be able to at least copy your files out from the drive.

@Math Geek: I haven't touched any thing and didn't proceed with OS installation. Waiting for suggestion...

you should try what hang 9 suggested.

if that fails, what i would try if you've not touched anything is to put the drive into another pc and try running some recovery software. it may find a lot of the files. this has worked for me with very limited success. i can sometimes get a few important files but don't think i have ever been able to get a massive amount of stuff back. no idea what you are hoping to save but i usually get a ton of corrupted files and such when trying to grab a lot of stuff from such a mistake.

@Hang-The-9: Can we able to run testdisk without installing OS, using windows installation media? If yes.. Please let me know how to do it.

Yes, connect the drive to another computer and run it from that system. It is also in some disk recovery tools like http://www.system-rescue-cd.org/
