Common scenarios in which data can get deleted / lost from partitions on Mac OS X

Volume is accidentally formatted / re-formatted – There are times when you need to re-install the operating system and in such a situation it is essential to re-format the existing Mac hard disk volumes. Formatting the wrong volume might lead to loss of data. You might also end up formatting a partition on your hard drive unintentionally    

Deleted partitions after re-partitioning the hard drive – When you re-partition a hard drive either by re-sizing, adding or deleting a partition there are chances that you might accidentally delete a volume or end up losing data due to some other partitioning errors 

Catalog record corruption – The catalog file maintains details regarding the various files and their respective location on the volumes. Corruption of the Catalog record makes these files inaccessible due to lack of information

 Volume header corruption – Corruption in the volume header makes the volume inaccessible resulting in loss of data

 Failed Master Boot Record – Failure of the Master Boot Record makes the volume inaccessible.
