The Undelete dialog appears, and the selected unallocated space is searched.

All primary and logical partitions that can be undeleted are displayed in the scrollable list. If no partitions are found within the unallocated space or none can be undeleted, a message appears indicating no partitions can be undeleted.

3Within the scrollable list, click the checkbox of the partition you wish to undelete.

While it is possible to undelete more than one partition at once, Norton recommends that you undelete partitions one at a time, beginning with the one that you want most. Doing so helps ensure the integrity of the data within the partition.

Restrictions on Undeleting Partitions

There are some situations in which a partition that has been deleted cannot be undeleted and will not be displayed in the scrollable list. They include the following:

You cannot undelete a primary partition if your hard disk contains four primary partitions.

You cannot undelete a logical partition that was deleted and now is not within the extended partition.

You cannot undelete a primary partition that was deleted and now is within the extended partition.

The partition includes file system errors. If PartitionMagic finds a partition, it checks for errors before undeleting it. If the partition has errors, it cannot be undeleted.

You cannot undelete a partition that has been completely or partially overwritten by another partition or file system. Because of this limitation, if you see two partitions in the Undelete dialog and undelete one of them, the other may no longer appear in the list.
