Among many recent years’ inventions, RAID is an innovative technique to enhance data storage efficiency. In RAID, data is stored in multiple low cost hard drives and the entire set of hard disk drives work as a single system. The RAID controller manages the distribution of data in different attached drives. RAID is designed as a fault tolerant system, but, because of the complex internal structure, any small instance of data loss in RAID can be extremely critical. Under such a situation of RAID failure, it is always wise to opt for any professional data recovery services, rather risking your valuable data through experimentation.
In case of RAID systems with RAID level 5 or above, if one disk fails or goes offline, it can be sorted out by replacing the same with a healthy hard disk. But, if more than one disk fails at the same time, it can be dangerous to the data and a small mistake can cause permanent data loss. Therefore, it is better to consult any experienced RAID data recovery expert immediately...

Data recovery is a technology of the recent time to dig into the troubled storage media and retrieve back the data safely. Few years back, once the data from the media is deleted or if the storage device got inaccessible, there was no means to get those lost data back. Now the same is quite possible. The data recovery technique and the recovery process depends upon the type of data loss, system configuration and the recovery steps taken by you in haste. As, the troubled media carries all your precious data, it is always safe to take the help of any professional data recovery service provider for safe recovery without any further chance of data loss.
Loss of data can be of two types: Logical data loss and Physical data loss. Logical data loss situations include the accidental deletion, file system corruption, operating system crash, any loss/inaccessibility of data due to application malfunction etc. Similarly, the physical data loss situation can be the mechanical, electrical or firmware failure of the hard drive, controller failure of RAID, RAID configuration damage, damage to the media because of any natural disaster etc...

Sometimes, upgrading of the system to Windows XP results in data loss situations. Like, numerous attempts to start the system remains unsuccessful. Have you ever tried to find out the reason for such behavior. This happens because of corrupt or damaged setup file on hard drive. While upgrade that set up file cannot get overwritten. But with the aid of some appropriate measures, such kind of situations can be easily tackled. For good results, you can choose a third party hard drive data recovery tools.
Using a third party tool for hard drive recovery is a best option when all else methods fail.
Consider a realistic situation. When you make an attempt to upgrade your system to Windows XP. It fails and any of the below listed error message appears on the screen that looks exactly same as given below:
“C0000221 (Bad Image Checksum)”
OR
“STOP: C0000221 - Bad Image Checksum in ModuleName”

Though there are many other available storage media, including CD, DVD, pen drive, USB drive etc., hard drive of a computer is still the prime storage location of your valuable data. Moreover, many users usually use the external/internal hard drives for the long term storage of important data. Where hard drives facilitate storage of large volumes of important data, at the same time, data loss or inaccessibility from the hard drive due to virus attack, accidental deletion, operating system crash or file system corruption etc., results panic among the users. Under such situations, you can take the help of any
hard drive recovery software to bring back your valuable data.
Though, there can be a number instances, in which your hard drive data can be lost or become inaccessible, underneath are the most common ones:
Accidental formatting of the hard drive.
Corruption/damage to the file system of the hard drive...

In spite of taking many measures to prevent instances of data loss, we still come under the grip of it almost every day. Loss of valuable data can be due to an accidental deletion, virus attack, formatting of the media, operating system malfunction, hard drive crash etc. With sheer work pressure and changing technologies, it is practically impossible to avoid the occurrence of accidental data loss. Moreover, sometimes the situations are so worse that you do not even able to boot-up the system or the hard drive is making some unusual grinding noise at the start-up, forcing you to turn it off. For those instances of data loss/inaccessibility, it is better suggested to opt for any data recovery services, rather experimenting, when your precious data is on stake.
Among many possible instances of data loss, the situations which arise because of any physical damage to the storage media are the most critical ones. Following are some of the common cases of data loss:...

The world is seeing a new face of technology where everything appears to be fast-paced and virtual. The computer technology has also evolved in a short span of time giving a new dimention to the ever changing business requirements. Nowadays, hard drives that are the main storage medium in a computer come in various shapes with different capacities. But these hard drives too are subject to data loss and corruption. In such cases, you need to follow some hard drive recovery utilities to get your precious data back.
Scenario:
Suppose one instance, you switch on your computer and suddenly it reboots or gives you an error message. It may also happen that the computer gets hanged in the middle of the booting process displaying no error message. This is probably a BIOS error that appears something like:
"DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
OR
"CMOS Battery State Low"
OR
"CMOS Checksum Failure"
OR
"K/B Interface Error"...

Lot of us are able to install Windows operating system ourselves because of the excellent help documentation made available by Microsoft. However, at times this step can sometimes backfire as the critical files can go missing making the system become inaccessible. A similar problem may occur when you change the file system of primary partition from FAT32 to NTFS. In such cases, you should restore the missing files using Windows XP CD to recover hard disk. If the method does not work, then you should use a third-party
hard drive recovery utility to recover the inaccessible data.
Let us suppose you have a Windows XP system that has FAT file system. You have just converted your FAT file system to NTFS using the “convert drive: /fs:ntfs” command. However, when you start the system after the conversion the system does not start. The following error message is displayed in this case:...

No matter which operating system you use, all the storage devices (including internal and external hard disk drives, zip drives, CDs, DVDs, pen drives, and many more) are prone to errors and data loss. This could happen due to any reason, like, unintentional or intentional drive formatting, unexpected power off leading to sudden closure of the operating system, accidental deletion of important system files, partition or its file system corruption, operating system error, some bugs, corruption or damage to the storage media, read/write error messages, and many more. But handling all these problems is fairly easy, if you have a backup of the data. But in case you don't have it,
hard drive recovery software can aid you in your endeavor for it...

Last week, I learn something new. Data Recovery services could be availed for Mac machines as well. Though this fantastic machine is not so prone to problems, but if at all they develop, it is very difficult to get data back, unless you have sufficient backup in place. Backups are the most reliant ways for data retrieval in case of any problem. But in their absence, one has to opt for
data recovery using appropriate means.
One such incident happened, when some MacBook notebooks were found to have faulty 2.5-in. SATA hard disk drives. These hard drives had a manufacturing defect owing to which the drive heads failed mechanically, and detached from the arm after some use and scratched the data area of the drive, thereby causing permanent data loss. If the user finds such a problem on his/her hard disk drive, then they can be sure of losing most of the data, if not all of it, unless they had a backup on another sturdy media. Since the head ploughed deep into the platter, most of the damage occurred to the inner tracks, but that doesn't mean that the outer tracks were spared...

A hard drive is the primary storage device in the computer systems, which helps you to store valuable data. Apart for this, the important system files that are required to run the system are stored in the hard drive. Lot many times, these files get missing or damaged during an update, thereby disabling you from starting the computer. In such cases, you should try to copy these files from the CD of the operating system. If that does not solve the issue, then you should use a third-party
hard drive data recovery software to recover the trapped data.
You can consider a situation where in you are unable to start your Windows XP Service Pack 2 system. The following error message is displayed on a black screen:
“Windows could not start because the following file is missing:
\system32\drivers\ntfs.sys”
Cause:...

Windows systems are using the NTFS (New Technology File System) file system for quite some time now as it is fast, secure, and reliable from its predecessors. That is the reason some of the users use FAT (File Allocation Table) file system apparently convert from FAT to NTFS. However, at times the conversion can go haywire as some critical files go missing during the conversion.
In such cases, you should replace the files to recover hard drive using the setup CD of the operating system. If the method does not work, then you should use a third-party
Windows hard drive recovery to do the needful.
Let us assume a practical situation in which you have used the 'convert drive: /fs:ntfs' command to convert the file system of your Windows XP system from FAT32 to NTFS. However, when you try to start the system you fail to do so. An error message is displayed in this case, which is:...

An error message while starting Windows Server 2003 system, halts the boot process and makes hard drive data inaccessible. A boot error message may appear owing to various reasons, the most common being system file corruption. Corruption of even a single system file (required at the time of boot process) halts the entire boot process. Just like other files, system files too are prone to corruption. And the cause of corruption can be virus attack, operating system damage, and human mistakes. To overcome system file corruption, a Windows user can format the system and restore data from an updated backup. However, in case no backup is available, a user needs to opt for a commercial partition recovery software.
For detailed explanation of the above problem, consider the below error message that appears when you try to boot your Windows Server 2003 machine:
“STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x0000000)...

While trying to start a Windows XP based computer, an error can occur, following which the data in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. If the reason behind, is the physical damage to the hard drive of your computer, you badly need expert hard drive recovery services to recover your valuable data. The error can be as below:
“Setup did not find any hard drives installed on your computer ”
Cause:
Analyzing the above error message, the first thing that comes into the mind is that the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) has not detected the hard disk and the data is inaccessible . Sometimes, there are more than one possible cause lie behind a single error message. Here, the above error can be caused due to any of the following problems:
There is some sort of malfunctioning to the MBR (Master Boot Record)of the hard disk.
The initial sector or sector 0 of the hard disk contains incorrect MBR.
The particular partition, which contains the MBR is no longer active or is incompatible...

Hard Drive is the brain of the computer. Every single byte of our work is stored in this brain of the computer. Normally it works fine but sometimes it faced the unwanted situations of hard drive failure, Hard drive is crashed, formatted or hard drive becomes inaccessible. There are many reasons behind this. First of all we have to understand the some basic things about hard drive which must every computer user should know about these features of computer hard drive.
For this read this article in which everything is explained about system hard disk Things You Must Know About Your Computer Hard Drive.
IF this Blue Screen is comes on your computer monitor “the hard drive can't be accessible” it means your system now infected with some problem then from here your hard work starts because this is very irritated situation and everybody wants to remove this error as soon as possible and get out from this unwanted situation.
What are the reasons for inaccessible Hard Drive?...

Though the advance computer systems, such as Mac, UNIX etc are robust in their design and storage structure, still situations leading to data loss are almost inevitable. This is the reason that various operating systems have inbuilt commands that facilitate certain amount of data security or preventive measures to save your data prior to a possible damage to the storage media.
The 'dd' command is such an example. The command can be used to make an exact image of the data from the dying hard drive and can be restored later on. However, under unfortunate incidents, the disk image refused to be mounted and it seems as if all your data is lost. These are the extreme conditions, where you have to think over technologies like Mac hard drive recovery or Mac recovery software.
Facts about 'dd' command:...

Whenever we boot our computer with any Windows operating system, then we patiently wait, for the system to boot. Earlier the users had to wait for long. But with the improving technology, the whole scenario has changed. Consider, for example, the NTFS file system formatted Windows XP operating system does not take that long to boot.
But what if, after anxiously waiting for the booting of your XP computer, you encounter an error message that indicates absence or corruption of a vital system file, and your system refuses to boot after that, then what will you do? Well, don't panic. First of all, check if your backups are updated. And after that search for ways to perform
windows hard drive recovery.
There are times when we boot our NTFS formatted Windows XP system. But instead of being able to work, you find the abominable message as follows:
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys"...

Many companies’ experiences the data loss problems due to hard drive errors and on top of it if they do not have proper and updated backup then situation become even worse. Data loss may include in financial statements, clients information, bills, catalog and etc. But with the advent of data recovery, there is no need to worry, because recovery solutions are available depending upon the type and cause of hard drive failure.
Types of hard drive failure
There are two types of hard drive failure out of which one is physical and another one is logical.
Physical failures are often due to a failure of electric motor, drive head crash, spindle motor, firmware corruption and etc.
Logical failures are often due to accidental deletion, accidental format, file and file system corruption, software bugs, viruses and malware, and etc...

In the Windows systems, the System hive is the place where the backup of the registries containing the keys, subkeys, and their values is stored. For each user profile, a separate system hive is created to keep the record of each and every activity. However, sometimes the System hive gets damaged due to several issues that can even make the system inaccessible. In such situations, you can use various system recovery methods. If these methods do not work, then this situation calls for a professional Windows hard drive recovery software to recover hard drive.
Consider a scenario in which you restart your Windows 2000 system and it fails to start. The following error message is displayed in this case:
“Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMced”
Note: The 'ced' letters displayed at the end of the error message is actually not part of the error. It is probably part of the previous screen, which was not overwritten when this error appeared...
