Recover Un-allocated space on Disk?
Using ATI12, due to a stupid mistake on my part(and drive letters changing) I set the wrong path for a restore session and created a problem. Is there a way to recover an entire 4Tb drive that Acronis changed to 'unallocated' space. The restore was not completed and I am pretty sure there was not any writing to the Disk.
Thanks for any advice.

Disk Director includes a tool called Recovery Expert that can restore deleted partitions.

Unfortunately the drive was filled with data, and the status of the drive was unintentionally changed to 'un-allocated' in Acronis. There was no writing to the drive. I used a trial version of Power Data Recovery and I can see that the Data is still there and it is retrievable if I pay for the Full version of the software but it is expensive and I was hoping there might be a simple solution. I was hoping someone from Acronis might have ideas?

Jk........
The 'Free' Mini Tool Partition Recovery worked great! After it worked I was thinking about purchasing the Pro edition for $39 even tho I dont think I would ever need it. The free software has almost no limitations and is very powerful, but it was worth alot to me to get this fixed and it would help the development.
I really appreciate your advice........ Thanks man,
C
