    data recovery after using diskpart clean


    My son has a Dell laptop/tablet, it originally came with Win8 installed but he upgraded to win 10. The latest windows updates caused the machine to get into a reboot cycle and he was unable to roll it back when trying to restore to an earlier point (he said it gave him a write protect error) Somehow he got into the command prompt on reboot and ended up running a 'diskpart clean' command.
    I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to recover the original partition or at least some of the files from it..

    Many thanks.

    any other suggestions?


    Most of these videos seem to cover how to recover a partition on an external drive. My problem is that this laptop no longer has a bootable drive. I booted it with a windows 10 recovery usb stick and tried to run the 'diskpart' command but it would only recognize the usb volume.

    thank you so much for your suggestions!!!

    Sorry not understanding, it's me. When you say you ran diskpart, did diskpart start and the "List disk" command showed no other disks?

    download and boot my Rescue Disk (link in sig below)
    There are file and partition recovery tools present

    Using the diskpart / clean command does not format or wipe the disk
    It just removes the recorded disk layout - which should be able to be recovered / rebuilt..
