Problem Description

Partitions refer to the portions of the hard disk that have their own logical file structure. Re-partitioning means deleting and resizing the current partitions on the disk. Since re-partitioning almost always involves deleting the current partitions, all previously held data in the partition is lost. This is usually done to re-align the space and data on the hard disk, but may also be the result of plain human error, the end result being that data in the old partition is inaccessible.
