Handy Steps to Keep Away from Data loss Situations

Data loss is the most common & one of the biggest problems in the computer world. Every 3rd person is suffering from it; even you may also face this trouble anytime. Data play an important role in any business, organization etc. It’s really a nightmare when somehow you lost or delete your crucial data which can cause serious harm to your work or business.

Let’s have a look on some of the major data loss situations:-


    • Physical damage of the hard drive like burned hdd, broken hdd etc.
    • Virus or malware attack which leads to inaccessibility of your hard disk
    • While installing the newer versions of OS, sometime results to accidentally formatted partition which is containing the valuable data
    • Backup files get accidentally deleted or misplaced
    • Data get unintentionally deleted

    Effective methods to stay away from these kind of data loss situations:-

    • Create the backup of important data and write the backup copy onto the CD-DVD's or external hard drive
    • Try to use antivirus software for your machine to minimize the malware threat
    • Use system utilities such as  chkdsk /r on a regular basis to fix minor faults from the hard drive
    • Create restore point randomly
    • Updating system driver and OS programs from authority websites 

      Taking regular data backup can be a solution of the problem. But, with growing threats and malicious programs, taking only back up or basic precautions is not sufficient as far as the data safety is concerned. Virus can easily damage the backup files and sometime deletes it permanently from the hard disk. People are having misconception that the data deleted from the recycle bin or hard drive will results in permanent data loss, but it's not true at all. An identical copy of the deleted data are keep alive somewhere in the drive until the space is overwritten with the some other data, all you need to know is how to find it. To locate or recover the deleted data from the hard disk, you need to download the right data recovery software from the trusted source like Stellar Phoenix.

      5 Resolving Steps to Fix MSDaRT.DLL Errors

      Windows users are facing different type of dll errors in these days and I had already written different articles separately to resolve.

      error code 0x1292            or
      cannot find [path]\msdart.dll        or
      Component is missing: msdart.dll, please reinstall the fresh copy

      That means your Windows got infected by some malicious programs (Trojan, spyware, worms etc.) or there is any problem with your registry. This error could lead to the serious damaging of your hardware or frequent system crash and you will lose access to some or all the important files and folders contained in the hard drive.  These errors will continue to appear whenever the user wants’ to access or install any programs or even while installing windows, and doesn't remove completely unless and until any resolution steps are not performed.

      Frequently Asked Questions by Data Recovery Users

      My mail box get full with some of my blog readers questions, Some of get solved by replied mail, some are in my research list… let’s see “How much I can solve..I decided to drop the answers of those questions in my new blog post because these issues are common & most of the users suffer with these issues.  


       
      Most Common Question- asked by Rozer: How to choose best data recovery software?

       

      Don’t go for fake advertisements just try to brain stormed and find out your solution. Some of them I will let you know remaining are your choice. First of all see all the features of the software & check it fulfill all your requirements or not. Most of the companies offer demo version which is absolutely free of cost, try this opportunity. After that if you found lots of choices, check extra features of the software & price to take better decision.
      After choosing utility according to above features, try to see the user reviews of that particular software and company which helps you more to choosing the best one.


       

      Nice One- asked by Eileen: I am currently trying to recover files from external hard drive. The original data loss scenario involved connecting the hard drive to my computer, saving files to the hard drive, stopping and removing the hard drive from the computer, reconnecting it to another computer and message pop up “it must be formatted”. I did not proceed with the format, and nothing has been done to the drive since.


      This can be happen in two conditions:
      • file structure has been damaged
      • file structure has been badly damaged

      Both the lines have different meaning. If your file structure gets damaged, you should try hard drive data recovery software.

      If your files get badly damaged, the data recovery software is not able to recover your data. The software showed the data but not all of the files. In this case you should send your drive to professional data Recovery Company to retrieve data manually.
       


      Tough to answer- asked by Golvin: I have accidentally formatted C partition, after that I reinstalled windows on my system!! Before formatting I transferred all files in external drive but One of my frnd formatted the drive at 2 times...In this case, CAN I Recover My Data??
       
       

      First of all data recovery from your bootable drive i.e. C in your case is not possible in anyhow, because OS cannot be recovered by any data recovery software. But from external drive you can easily recover your data with any of good data recovery software. Remember one thing don’t overwrite the drive from where you want to recover data otherwise data recovery will not possible. In your case you have formatted the drive twice doesn’t matter but don’t try to overwrite on it, try data recovery software and get your data with ease. 
       
       

      A fast finish: Now I have to finish this post which becomes too longer. I will try to cover other issues in my next post. If you found your answers from here in this post or you have any query regarding data recovery software just shoot your comment.

      I Goofed! Ooooops! Can I recover my data??

      I decided to write an article but not find any topic. As all my readers knows I always love to write article on data corruption errors SO I decided to search topic on forums. I read a post on a forum..

      Post: All these three words come from my mouth”I Goofed! Ooooops!” at the time when I opened my PC & a BSOD come in front of my eyes..All the data was wash out from the drive... I don't know what get wrong with my PC. Even I don’t update backup.. All the readers who read this post will think I’m a duffer, how can I do it?? I admitted it :(...How can I recover my data?? 
       
       
      So what will be the next step? 
         
       
       


      For many of us, data recovery from your hard drive by ourselves is hard, especially for novice user. Usually you have inbuilt utilities to accomplish data recovery task but at the same time you have to know each and every limitations before using these utilities.


      As many users thinks that heavy use of the drive cause of data lost but Google engineers kicks off his advice that "there is no relation b/w heavy use and hard drive failure. While some people have technical knowledge or we can say have technical circle who gave proper guidance on this issue, those who are less knowledge about it, can learn the knack after reading this article.

       
      I covers quite a few images of hard drives & which are worth for checking to analyze how data get save in hard drive &  the exact situation of hard drive failure & data lost . here is a couple of highlights:
       
       
       
      New hard drive closer look
       
       


      Old hard drive closer look





      Laptop Hard Drive




      External Hard Drive



       
       
      Hard drive used to save data either used by single user or in any big organization, the purpose is all same, only the difference is type of hard drive. In what situations hard drive get failed:  Head Crash, BSOD, Read & Write Errors, logical & physical failure, any error message pop up on the PC screen & many more..

       
      Follow Goldilocks to recover data:

       
      I suggest him this answer- To find the solution; you should delve on Google about the error. As per my experience the errors pops up when partition get deleted. Due to the error, you lost your data but you can easily recover it by using hard drive data recovery software. In Data Recovery company, there are lots of proclaimed “experts” blowing advice like a hurricane and actually impacting data recovery more like a small thunderstorm...So decide very wisely!!
