Accidently my partitions new volume D an E have been formatted after restore complete system. Recently i was used "easeus partition recovery wizard" and when i'm using it my formatted partitions have shown after searched. But when i select it to recover it's said "this partition cannot be selected because will overwrite the existing system or boot system". What should i do? Any idea about it? Thanks for your explanations.

you can take the help of a software called partition magic...
otherwise try format again.

Fixing your MBR should do it. This is the master boot record which directs your computer to the right system partition during boot up.
Research the command bootsect.exe and bootrec.exe
To access, boot in recovery mode by hitting the recovery key (look for it in your computer's manual) and then choose the command prompt. Type the above mentioned commands.

Is there any OS in the partitions?If so,the OS booting system is inside that partition,which is quite impossible to overwrite.In my opinion,the best that you can do is to reformat the whole thing back,because there is nothing such as to undelete a partition.
I would like to hear any ideas from other users as well since I've never encounter such thing like this.
