Sometimes, users may meet a situation where a partition with txt data stored in is damaged logically. The specific case may be: the system will prompt users that the partition is not formatted after they double click it; then, the system will ask whether users want to format that partition or not. When meeting such situation, users should neither get panic nor format the partition as system prompted. Instead, users need to protect the partition because partition data can be recovered completely in most cases.
 
In general, such situation is caused by the following reasons: computer virus or illegal shutdown may lead to the abnormal performance of partition data, damaging some important partition data; unstable or insufficient power supply may lead to disk I/O error, causing logical partition damage. Well, after a partition has been damaged logically, how can users recover txt data stored in it? Here, we will introduce a simple method: using MilfordSoft Data Recovery – a piece of professional hard drive data recovery software.
