I have 2 drives
1. 512 gb hdd showing as dynamic
2. 512 gb ssd showing as basic (OS installed in it)
Yesterday accidentally deleted one of my partition in HDD, it has all my data of softwares and mainly my office work in form of excel, ms word and pdf files.
Any free softwares for the purpose. Tried some they need paid licence to recover the found data.
Thanks

Recuva works fine most of the times.

Recuva doesn't works for dynamic drive.

Try testdisk, though it's a bit tricky to use.

TestDisk - Partition Recovery and File Undelete

Did you use win 7 disk management for changing partition size? If the disk is converted to dynamic then most free recovery solutions won't work.Your best bet is to convert dynamic to basic & then try recovery but that too needs a fairly complicated method & any mistake may result in complete data loss.First make a RAW image/sector-by-sector image of your dynamic disk in some portable hdd by using imaging software like macrium reflect free.
