I'm looking for a tip of a free partition recovery program.

[Marie]

Hello everyone  
This is my first post in here and my English may not be the best, but i hope you will understand me anyway.  
I saw this video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPw2G8fQR58) and that program(MiniTool) don't works for free anymore. So I wonder if there is another easy and good program to use for free?
My problem is that i destroyed three of the hard drives partitions when i tried to learn how to use Linux to remove write protection on a win10 recoverypartition.       I'm used to Microsoft platforms since 1988.. but now I'm started to learning Linux, then win7 unfortunately has an end of life 2020.  

So back to my question... Now i need to restore the disk i messed up. I tried to use MiniTool and it's possible to recover them, but MiniTool is no longer free to use..
So I wonder if some one in here know of an another easy and good program?

Have a nice day.

Hello
Okay, but if you look on this (https://www.partitionwizard.com/comparison.html) then it's says "Recover Lost/Deleted Partition X " it's not a tick on that option. And when i had it installed on my windows7 and i tried to recover the partitions, then it said i had to upgrade to an other version. And that version only had 1Gb data recovery for free use. and the three partitions and it's data is on 550Gb.

Thanks for the links, I will try them later to night. Now I must go to the grocery store before they close.
I will be back on the forum in an hour or two.

EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition 
Tested.. Not a Recovery program. It was a partition manager program. But It had a link to an other data recovery program, but it was only data recovery, not partition recovery.

Paragon Partition Manager Free
Paragon. Can't install the program on my windows7 32bit. Install error: Need a newer version of windows

Active@ Partition Manager
also an Partition Manager. But i liked the layout.  

GParted 
Copy from there webpage: GParted is a free partition manager that enables you to resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss.
Nothing about a recovery program in text or screenshots . So i didn't test it, since it is not a windows program.

.
Perhaps you misunderstood me. I'm not going to make new partitions on the drive. I want to rescue the partitions that has disappeared and all the data on the rescue partitions. (it's one Win8 and one Win10 Rescue partition on the same drive I am interested of saving.)

Yes I did messed up the partition table with Linux Gparted when i tried to remove write protection on the Win10 HDD.. I have used Linux around 15-20 hour totally in my life now.. So I think i am going to use windows 7 to undo the damage I did. :LOL: I have some old recovery programs that are great, but that's just the problem, they are so old that they can't handle some newer hard disk partitions UEFI and so on..

And a big yes ... I will use less sensitive hardware in future Linux lab tests.    ha ha ha

So any tip of a Recovery program Free to use and with HDD-partitions Recovery functions and it's data.

I think that's what you after

[Britec]

A lot of FREE Recover Lost/Deleted Partition have limits, if you have 550GB of data and you value your data that much, maybe consider buying the software for $39 surely your data is worth $39.

Hello again
I've solved my problem late last night. All disk partitions are now saved and all it's data.
Linux and the program TestDisk were the solution.
Thanks for all suggestions.
