The article runs about Dynamic Disk Recovery and everything that is connected with it. The usage of embedded Raid controller often requires Raid array restoration service. So, look at 1 instance. Imagine that you have equipped AMD SB 600 built-in chip set controller with a Raid array on it. You're happy when it worked, but there came a time to go after contemporary technologies. Of course you must have decided to choose Intel Core CPU. You've settled what motherboard to select and you see there an embedded ICH9R controller, you have replaced your hard disk drive, but Raid array isn't identified yet. There are two ways out available for users:

1. You may purchase new hard disks and create absolutely new Raid array and transport all information from the old computer to a new one that requires a lot of expenses and much time to recover a previous Raid array.

2. Also you can use the services of file recovery lab where the experts would recover your files for some short period of time and for not great sum of money. Or you can get a Raid recovery software to restore it by yourself. If you would utilize outer Raid array such a problem would not simply exist, because you're just to transport a controller with hard disks. One more problem is that nowadays there are a lot of built-in semi-hard Raid controllers in the market. And such controllers can recover just the arrays 1, 0+1, 5 and they don't utilize the other means of file recovery.

The method of “mirroring” can guarantee protection. A lot of persons think that if they would not use a usual stripe (Raid 0) they will be surely protected from a loss of information and there will be no necessity to restore Raid arrays. But there are difficulties such as electricity failures, driver problems in operating system, virus assaults that can make you lose all your files from all the hard disks and no “mirroring” would assist you. And what would you do in such case? In this case you must not strive to restore the data from a Raid array or to restore the entire Raid array.

Current text will demonstrate you how to perform ntfs data recovery even in case the disk sector is injured. It is really big problem today as the amount of information saved on disks is rapidly growing and it is hard to manage all the information appropriately.

If you are a well-skilled user you should realize that HDD is not considered to be a safe place to save some quite necessary information. You have to realize that HDD is a mechanism and any mechanism has got definite operation life and that is not actually big. If there is a mechanical failure sometimes that is impossible to restore any information as HDD becomes completely unworkable.

The operators that attempted to work out any HDD troubles with Windows 98 or earlier systems preferred use of fdisk software and some other primitive systems. Today it is used only in rare cases and only by real professionals because amateur can make harm to data with it.

File systems

File system defines the method which is utilized to save data on the face of the HDD. There are some sectors which are called partitions on the HDD.

Modern Windows operates with FAT-32. FAT-32 was produced on the principles of working of FAT-16 but it can serve more data. The disk space limit for FAT-16 is only 2 GB. Operating systems Windows 2000 and Windows XP are compatible with FAT system meanwhile FAT is not the main system.

Windows NT, XP and 2000 use NTFS system as it offers considerably greater degree of safety of info storage. Another significant advantage is that user can establish individual access rights for any file. The most important part of information for the OS is the boot record and disk partition table which are placed in the first sector of every disk. Read the rest of this entry »
