Tried to resize a 2Tb with minitool partition manager.

"All operations completed sucessfully" and in the background I got a prompt from windows asking me to reformat before i use the drive.

I'd like some advice on how to recover some of my data please.

before messing with partition resize utility its always best to backup....

testdisk might do the job,

in the fist instance if there are a few critical files it might well be able to recover them..

then it might be able to put the partition right,

though its not the user friendly'ist tool...

possibly try an ubuntu live cd (jsut ot see if it will read the drive)

You could try using recuva.

I was dual booting and lost 1 boot and data. However I used the same said program in the other OS to recover the partitions and run checkdisk. It was my mistake for running the program from an in use disk.
