Partitions in a personal computer mean splitting the hard disk into various logical splits, and it is possible to have various operating systems in each of these partitions or these partitions could also have different file systems. While configuring the new personal computer the thing we do is to partition the hard drive based on our requirement. The total memory of the hard drive could be divided between these partitions. The data that is stored in one partition is highly independent of the other partition. Data loss is one of the very common things in any computers that are mainly caused by the existence of virus. If one the partition has virus infected files it will start spoiling the complete data in the whole partition.

It is highly possible to recover lost partitions windows data using numerous data recovery techniques. The data in a particular partition could be recovered by first installing the data recovery tool in any other partition and starting the partition scan of the damaged partition using that software which completely scans the disc and lists all the data of the damaged partition which could then be copied to a new location. Once the required data is recovered the damaged partition alone could be formatted in order to completely remove the virus and the required data can again be moved into the disc. Hence using these softwares we could recover all the lost data.
