Partition Table Doctor can help you to repair partition table and recover lost or deleted partitions except for physical damage, or hard disk (or other storage medium) failure. It is safe to use for only recovering your partitions through modifying partition table or boot sector, which means the software will never attempt to write to data area of the drive you are want to recover.
Whether partition can be recognized by system or not depends on the partition table and boot sector of partition (More partition table details please see: About Partition Table). If partition table or boot sector of partition is destroyed by virus or deleted accidentally, you will not see the partition you need. In fact, the partition is not actually lost.
If you know more knowledge about partition table and boot sector of partition, you may manually use Edit Sector to recover partition.
Of course, Partition Table Doctor will automatically check & repair partition table or boot sector of partition errors to recover partition.
