When you reinstall Windows 2008 on a SCSI drive there are many things that happen. However you should probably first understand how files get deleted on your SCSI drive. When you delete a file or even when you format your drive the files get marked as “re-writable.” While they might appear to be deleted and permanently gone forever to you as the user, they are still intact. This is how the majority of storage devices work and it’s what allows REMO to be able to access your files even when they have been deleted or formatted. REMO can perform NTFS file recovery, SCSI data recovery and it can even operate to recover FAT32 partitions. With these options available to you the possibilities are endless. Thankfully, as long as you have no written over your older files everything that was stored on the SCSI drive previously should still be located by REMO.

When you reinstall Windows 2008 over the top of an existing installation, all of the original files get copied to the hard drive and then certain areas within the installation are reset to standard Windows settings that are provided as default settings. These settings essentially turn your installation into the condition it was when your install was fresh. Most of the time when you install Windows the Documents and Settings folder is erased and everything is deleted. However, as long as the deleted files are not overwritten they will be recoverable. Everything else on your SCSI drive should be recoverable as well. Less fragmented files and data on larger disks are more easily restored but that does not eliminate the possibility from other disks.

There are times when your computer may display a “Missing operating system” error during startup. This error usually occurs, when there are errors relating to the boot loader or the boot files. Though the data on your system is inaccessible, in reality, all the data is still present on the hard drive and can be recovered, if the recovery process is done in the right manner.

The problem is usually with the Volume Boot Record better known as VBR, which contains details about the various partitions on the hard drive. Damage to the VBR means loss of essential data required for accessing the data on the hard drive. This could occur due to virus attacks, malware, improper shutdown of the system etc. The only way you could get around this issue, is by formatting the whole drive. This would result in loss of data, and you would then require a Windows data recovery software to retrieve data from hard drive.

There is a method available to get back the lost data, by rebuilding the corrupted Volume Boot Record. This is a complex method, and involves many steps that have to be performed carefully. Not only this, there is no assurance that you can recover all the lost data. It is therefore advised that you make use of a good crashed hard drive recovery software to recover data from formatted hard drive.

REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software is a powerful recovery software, designed for systems that run on Windows O.S. The software performs a scan on the affected hard drive and recovers the lost files and folders from both NTFS and FAT partitions.

There are instances when the whole system has crashed, and all the data present on the hard drive has got affected. This usually occurs, when the whole file system has got corrupted, and none of the files and records including the Master Boot Record is inaccessible. In such extreme cases of data loss, you need to get a disk image of the entire hard disk, so that data can be retrieved from it at a later stage.

Creating a disk image essentially means making a carbon copy of all the data on the hard drive including the file system records and system files. This is usually done by copying bit by bit information from the affected hard drive onto a trusted and safe location. But, this has to be done using a good disk recovery software, as improper methods and low quality data recovery software could cause permanent loss of data.

It is therefore suggested, that you make use of REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software. This data recovery software comes with an in built option, using which you can create the disk image of a given hard drive. The created disk image can be saved at a safe location, and then later be used to recover files that have been lost or deleted.

Most of us face data loss situation where our important document, report, or even the contents of an entire memory card will suddenly cease to exist. Computer data can get corrupted, deleted, damaged or sometimes just seem to disappear. Fortunately, in many cases, recovering the lost data is possible with the help of consistent data recovery software or with the help of a qualified computer technician.

Physical Damage

Electronic components are delicate and can be quite unpredictable. In fact, most people’s first experience with document loss comes from a scratched CD or DVD, causing the audio or visual to skip. This is due to physical damage that can be difficult and in some cases impossible to retrieve. The electronic device will have to be fixed by hand and by an expert, as even the smallest traces of dust can destroy fragile parts. Repair of physical damage can involve replacing and repairing corrupted parts.

Logical Damage

Though the files are saved, sudden crashes and power surges can cause unusual storage and document loss problems that you might not even notice until days later. If you do experience a sudden crash, or even an unwanted virus, it is important to scan your computer immediately following to check for any hidden problems. We even lose data due to accidental deletion, formatting or reformatting the storage device and so on. Just because you accidentally pressed delete, formatted or your system crashed, don’t give up hope. Data recovery after reformat, deletion or any reason for that matter is common and can be quite successful.

Once data loss has been discovered, we need to identify the problem whether it is a physical or logical failure. Whether the data loss has occurred due to physical failure then you need to consult data recovery experts who are better equipped to deal with such matters. And if it is logical failure case then you need to do research for the best data recovery software before proceeding.

Recovery of lost data from complex data-loss situation like drive re-partitioning and re-formatting is possible with Remo Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software. The software lets you recover all the data lost after formatting the drive, with utmost ease. Read the rest of this entry »

The term “crash”, when applied to a hard drive, can indicate one of many problems that result in the drive being rendered unusable. There are many symptoms that the computers exhibit, before they crash. Some of the common symptoms can be summarized as follows,

• PCs with hard drives that are about to fail, slow down considerably, and have common startup problems. These hard drives may also not start up in the first place giving rise to more troubles.
• These PCs that are about to fail may also show some error messages. These might not be related to hardware always, but sometimes they are also related with software issues.

We can take an immediate backup of the entire hard drive, and prevent data loss as soon as we notice these symptoms. But, if we are not quick in reacting, we might end up losing some valuable data, at least for a brief period of time, if not permanently. This is because; you can recover hard drive data, from a crashed hard drive, until it has been overwritten by some new data.

REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software lets you recover hard drive that has crashed, in its complete form, without any missing data. You can recover hard drive data, and also recover all the data from the missing partitions on your hard drive, using this software.

We commonly associate an ISO file or ISO image with copying of CDs and DVDs. A bit by bit copy of a CD or a DVD is usually called an ISO image file. These ISO files are usually created using CD burning software like Nero which create, edit, and extract CD or DVD image files, then convert the extracted image to an ISO file, easily allowing users to burn an exact copy of the original onto CD or DVD.

We usually burn CDs and DVDs to take a backup of all the data present on our hard drives, so that we can make use of them when we face a data loss situation. The irony though is that we sometimes lose the ISO file itself, and hence are left helpless. In such cases it is advised that you avoid trying any ‘Do it yourself’ methods, which might lead to permanent erasure of data, and go for a good data recovery software that can recover data from ISO image.

It is recommended that you use REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software, to recover data from ISO image. The software lets you recover data from missing partitions, and in addition to that lets you create a disk image of the hard drive. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you exceed 2GB pst file size limit and are you not able to access your Outlook emails?

When we face such problem, most of us first try to delete emails to reduce the size of the pst file and secondly try to use the Microsoft Inbox Repair Tool, called scanpst.exe to repair the oversized pst file problem. Unfortunately none of these tricks work.

Are you disappointed!

Need not worry, using a pst recovery tool your lost emails can be recovered. It’s essential to have certain basic knowledge about Microsoft Outlook to overcome such problems.

Maximum PST file size in Microsoft Outlook 2002 and earlier versions is limited to 2GB. Whenever your .pst file reaches or exceeds this limit, you will not be able to use the .pst file. Once the folder size reaches or goes beyond that size limit the file will not be usable even if you delete items. At such situations you face what is called the oversized PST file problem.

Usual Corrupt PST File Error Messages we come across are:

• “Outlook.pst can not be accessed – 0×80040116″
• “An unknown error has occurred. 0×80040119″
• “pst has reached maximum size limit”
• “OL2000: Unable to Use Your Personal Folder File if it Exceeds the 2 GB Size Limit”

In fact, Microsoft doesn’t have a way that can help to solve the oversized PST file problem adequately. The only solution to repair 2GB pst file is to use Remo Recover Outlook (pst) software. The software reads the damaged .pst file, identifies and restores all the found information in a new .pst file. The new .pst file is similar to the original damaged .pst file. Messages are recovered with attachments, if they have any.

Hence, Remo Recover Outlook (pst) software efficiently recovers messages, folders, appointments, meeting requests, contacts, tasks, task requests, journals and notes from .pst files. Outlook mail is recovered in plain text, HTML and RTF format. This Outlook recovery software has advanced support to recover large attachments and embedded HTML messages. It also supports recovery of password protected .pst files, plus both compressed encryption and high encryption .pst files.

SD (Secure Digital) card is a flash memory card widely used by digital cameras. Sd card is compact and slim but can handle high volume content. Recently a new smaller SD Card has emerged on the market. It is called the mini SD Card. The card is originally intended for use in mobile phones and miniature electronics, such as MP3 players. This mini SD Card can be used in your SD Card devices.

Is it possible to recover mini SD files or photos if they have got accidentally deleted?

Yes, it’s possible to recover deleted files or photos from mini sd cards.

However, to increase the chances of being able to recover pictures or files after they have been deleted avoid saving new photos, files or data to it.

When you delete a picture or any file from a memory card the data itself is not deleted, just the file system pointers that says where the data for those files is located gets deleted. The area where the deleted picture data was stored is now marked as free space. So this space is now available to the system for any new files to be written there instead.

If and when that happens, it is very important to make sure that new pictures or files aren’t saved to the memory card in the meantime.

In such situation, one of the easiest ways to recover those deleted pictures is to try some data recovery software.

Disk Doctors Windows data recovery would be the ideal software solutions to recover lost data. This software has a component that can recover deleted files or photos; also it can perform file recovery based on unique file signature search with the help of “File Tracer” component provided along with the software.

Windows data recovery software also allows you to create a disk image of the mini sd card, if the drive has “bad blocks”. Creating and recovering from the image files helps in ignoring bad block read errors.

In order to use this software, memory card should be recognized by the system i.e., a drive letter should be assigned to the memory card in the explorer. For that the memory card should be connected to the system through a card reader.
