Troubleshooting OS not found Error….. Need Data Recovery

2010-09-14T21:25:00.000-07:00

Today I am going to share with you how can you prevent from OS (operating system) not found error?

Many times people get different error messages such as “operating system not found” and "Setup didn’t find any hard drives installed on your system." And due to these error messages, the booting process gets stopped and files stored in the hard disk become inaccessible.

Here you will see the causes of these types of error messages:

• System BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) doesn’t identify the hard disk.
• The hard disk partition is damaged.
• Sector 0 of the physical hard disk has an incorrect MBR.
• A damaged hard disk partition is marked as Active.
• A disk partition that comprehends the MBR is no longer active.

Here you will see the solutions of these types of error messages:

To resolve the above problem and get back the hard drive data, you need to follow following steps:

• If any floppy disk drive is inside then need to remove it.
• Need to check boot sequence in system BIOS. If the primary hard disk doesn’t show up within the first three boot devices, it means that your hard disk has been corrupted.
• Use the fixmbr command in the Windows XP Recovery Comfort to repair the Master Boot Record.

However, if all the above steps unable to resolve the issue, the best option available just clean OS and reinstall in the same partition. A clean reinstall of the operating system will erase all data from the partition. In such kind of data loss situations, you should use advanced Data Recovery Services or software such as partition recovery.

It is compatible with FAT16, FAT32, vFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems. This read only Partition Recovery Software supports Windows Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000.

Hard drive is not spinning Up– Required Hard Drive Recovery

2010-09-07T02:21:00.000-07:00

Here I am going to share my dead hard drive story.

Few months ago I went to spend my 15 days holidays and took lot of pictures with my family and few friends. When I came back to my country home, I uploaded all the pictures in my laptop but after few days when I turned on my laptop I started to hear some electrical fizzing then rapidly I turn off my laptop (laptop), but being a stupid thought I just checked all the cables are connected correctly or not and then try again and This time I got smoke starts coming out of my laptop power supply. Then I go and buy a new power supply. No worries. I get it to home, replace the burn one and again turn on the laptop, now again got the same problem. Then I caught the problem is in my hard drive which was not being recognized such as the hard disk no sound and not spinning up. My hard drive had been completely dead.

I was panic how to fix it? My important data is stored in it. I consult to my friends and then someone suggested me about hard drive recovery services with some companies. Stellar Data Recovery was one of them. I packed my hard drive and directly visited to their office. After checking dead hard disk they gave me a list of recoverable files. I was very happy when I saw my all-important files were in that list. Instantly I decided to take the hard disk recovery service and after few days they provided me all my data in a new hard disk.

So I suggest to all be very careful about data loss situation and if still you get it then no need to worry because data recovery options are available.

Data Recovery Status - A Growing Requirement for Today's Businesses

2010-07-25T23:55:00.000-07:00

There may have been so many examples in your life or in your career where your good day converts in bad day with a hard disk crash. If it has not occurred to you yet, it can occur anytime and catch you completely unexpectedly. It can be very annoying to lose your all important data, those great documents such as presentations, portfolio, 2 years of research etc. Only the data recovery services can retrieve all the lost data. PCs are not a perfect machine and the anxiety of data loss is actual. Henceforth, I am going to share some tips and valuable information on data recovery with you.

Why is Data Recovery?

Data recovery is very important because most of the data in your PC is valuable. But what is data recovery? It is recovery of almost all the data that has been unintentionally deleted from your system or has been removed due to a hard disk failure, virus attack, bad script etc.

What should I look in Data recovery services?

Always try to recover your data via data recovery service providers who have a 100 class clean room. A 100 class clean room specification is one where there will be below hundred microscopic pollutants in a space of one square foot and the rooms are cleaned via air filters to remove every dust. It is inside such clean rooms that the hard disk is opened for data recovery.

What is 100 Class Clean Room? And why use it for hard disk recovery?

2010-07-23T00:11:00.000-07:00

If you have been using PCs for a decent amount of time there is a good chance someone has told you that data stored on a hard disk is not exactly safe. I am here to declare you that this is really true.

Always remember that the PCs storage media like tapes, CDs or other are different from hard disk because it’s mechanical, active devices and are thus subject to comparatively quick failure. And if it gets fail then instantly contact to hard disk recovery provider to prevent your lost data because only they can recover your data safely in their 100 class clean room.

What is 100 Class clean room?

This is the Prevention and the reduction of dust atoms and pollution of the hard disk platters. By technical meaning, a Class 100 clean room has no in excess of 100 atoms higher than 0.5 microns in a cubic foot of air. Essentially, a Class 100 clean room is required to confirm that the surrounding air is of standard quality so the hard disk could be opened up to complete the necessary repair work. To be able to at least expose up your crashed hard disk for further repairing, it is adequate and necessary to safeguard that the vendor has a Class 100 clean room. Otherwise the pollutants may lose and stick on the exposed hard disk platters creating further accidental crashes with the read write disk head during spinning.

With RAID Recovery Available, RAID Failure Is a Fear of the Past

2010-07-22T00:03:00.000-07:00

Now with advance techniques of RAID data recovery, the anxiety of losing bulk of important data with a RAID failure has gone. RAID was presented to provide a safe and fault-tolerant storage system that increases the complete performance of the system in terms of data security and storage efficiency. As in most of the RAID systems, data is reflected or split across various disks, that’s why the chances of data loss is less. However, when it happens, the situation becomes much more difficult than any normal system and prior to the creation of RAID recovery, it was like more anxiety attached with more competence.

There are various situations which can be the causes of data loss from Raid Systems and demand something like RAID restore device to bring back your lost data.

In today’s time many corporations as well as an individual do not place their nervousness over data recovery until they face that odd scary day of losing their important data. The next week could have been an esteemed mile stone as your corporation was to sign a million dollar arrangement and today as your system hard disk crashed; it is creepier than the bed watering imaginings of your life. This is not just a line from a film; rather we have heard similar lines in real life.

Following are some of the warnings that show a data loss or an indication that it will occur soon:

• There is a clicking or crushing noise coming out of the hard disk while operating the system.
• The hard disk seems silent or not spinning up when powered on
• The system is not booting up, or doing so in an uncommon fashion
• The hard disk is not detected by the system BIOS
• Files and folders suddenly disappear in any directory.

Only an expert's approach can bring your data back

2010-07-12T04:04:00.000-07:00

This is very true because only expert can recover data with up to 100% security. So always recover your loss data from data recovery company.

In a week, there is an important presentation of your's before the client and while making final touches, your system went blank. Nobody even wants to think about such a nightmare, but situations like this are quite common and can happen to any of us.

Whenever, we listen or read something about data recovery, the first thought that comes to our mind is that we should have a proper back up. Adding few more pounds to our work burden, there is a long chain of assumption in a backup process like the hardware is working properly, users know how to perform backup, the backup tool is working correctly, the storage media is capturing data correctly and the backed up data is exactly the one we want to backup. Any break in the order makes the whole process collapse. And to our utter dismay, very less no of people do backup and the rest bigger mass are highly vulnerable to data loss.

Apart from normal deletion and corruption of data, following are some of the symptoms that can indicate that a data loss has occurred or will occur soon:

· The system is not booting up, or doing so in an unusual fashion

· The system BIOS fails to detect your hard drive

· The hard drive is making clicking or grinding noises while operating

· The hard drive is silent or not spinning up when powered on

· Files and folders suddenly disappear from directory listings

Whenever you come around any such situation, always seek for the service of expert and experienced data recovery services providers with Cleanroom facility. Why to involve risk when it is the matter of your most valuable data! Data recovery process needs a systematic approach through expert professionals and physically damaged drives should only be opened and repaired in Class 100 Cleanroom environment as dust particles of more than 0.5 micron size may come within the head and the platter of the disk resulting in scratches on the magnetic platter and permanent data loss.

What is Class 100 Cleanroom?

A Class 100 Cleanroom is a sterile environment which has less than 100 dust particles of size less than 0.5 microns per cubic foot of air, as compared to some 5,00,000 to 10,00,000 particles of even bigger size in normal environment.

Basic Dos and Don'ts prior to data recovery

2010-07-07T22:57:00.000-07:00

With every step forward in the field of data recovery services, it is a fact that our systems are getting more vulnerable to data loss. From various system errors, physical breakdown, viruses, accidental or intentional deletion to disasters like fire or flood are common for big enterprises as well as individuals. We are the least concerned about regular backup and hence, the need for data recovery services increase to minimize major personal and/or professional loss.

Prevention is always better than cure as data loss aftermath is more costly than the lost data itself. Living in a mechanical arena, preventing data from deletion is all most impossible. But with certain precautions, you can atleast prevent permanent data loss.

Just after encountering any data loss scenario, you should be extremely careful in handling the troubled system. And the motto is to avoid overwriting deleted files by new data as deleted files are not physically erased and by overwriting, the chances of recovery almost diminishes.

Don'ts

* Don't try home remedies by just listening to friends or from Internet.
* Don't run the recovery Disk/CD/DVD shipped with your laptop/desktop.
* Don’t try standard Windows features, like System Restore to recover your files.
* Don’t restart your computer and avoid starting or using any unnecessary software.
* Don't swap circuit boards on modern disks. A firmware/system area conflict issue can cause major problems.
* Don't forcibly cycle a clicking or non-responsive disk. By doing that, the disk will be damaged further and will make the data unrecoverable.
* Don't put the affected disk in the freezer and then try to spin it up. Moisture may condense on the disk surfaces causing head contact and hence, further damage.
* Avoid browsing the Internet because browsers save cache to your disk.
* Don’t copy new files or install any program to that disk.
* Don’t defrag your hard drive.
* If your hard disk is physically damaged never open it. Only a qualified hard disk data recovery professional in a certified Cleanroom environment should open a hard disk.

Dos

Do seek professional assistance immediately from trusted sources to avail data recovery services in order to recover your data safely.

Necessary Things You Must Know About a System Hard Disk

2010-06-29T02:45:00.000-07:00

What is a system Hard Disk might be every computer user knows the answer but most of the new computer users having less knowledge about this most vital component of PC.

What is Hard Disk:

Hard disk is a magnetic disk on which you store system data. It is usually offer more storage and faster access to data than floppy disks (first storage device) do. In hard disk a motor-driven spindle within a metal case having some rotating rigid platters which can be one or more depend on various hard disks. Whatever we read or write in our system the data is stored in hard disk.

How does the hard disk store data?

On each of the platters of hard disk there is a thin layer of magnetic film. Data storage on hard disks is very comparable to that of a cassette tape. Data is stored in many 1's & 0's. These binary digits are arranged in dissimilar ways to represent dissimilar characters. When these are read back via the head the data is retrieved & processed.

A system hard disk is separated into drives having main function to store the data in their drive. In which C drive is by default comes in all hard disks because all OS (Operating Systems) and software files is stored in this by default. Each drive is selected a certain space 20 GB to C drive or 40 GB to D drive this all depends of total size of hard disk. Drives names and size can be changed according to user at the time of OS (Operating system) installation.

Why system Hard Disk is one of the most important part of the computer? Because it stored the all-important data of computer user which he needs in future for various purposes. The data can be personal or professional which can be important for a company business. Or it can be personal images which is memorable part of your life.

If we lose our important data due to hard disk failure then this will be a really very serious and provoking situation for us. And after that how get back lost data from failure hard disk is a big question for us.

Hard disk recovery is most required after hard disk failure because when any problems come across in the hard disk then there is always a probability of getting a data loss and in world millions of computer users are using hard disk recovery services or software to get the lost data back.

Data recovery services such as Hard Disk Data Recovery is benefit for all computer users who ever faced this unfortunate situation of data loss to recover the lost data back from their computer hard disk.

Necessity of RAID Recovery after RAID 5 Failure

2010-06-18T21:46:00.000-07:00

In today’s time big organizations use many top end computer servers with a type of storage media called RAID to safeguard their data. Still Raid fails. Let’s first understand what is RAID and how data recovery is possible from it.

What is RAID?

The extended form of RAID is Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, is contain most of the CPU machines. Raid is a collection of small, inexpensive hard disks in the form of an array. It offers a way to collect same or dissimilar data at dissimilar places on various hard disks.

RAID provides high level data storage reliability and performance with low-cost components. According to the RAID levels like RAID0, RAID1, RAID3, RAID5 etc. it can replicate your data between several hard disks. It’s a very effective technology because it is possible for one of the disks in the array to go corrupt and the rest of disks can continue to manage the stored data.

RAID 5 failed and recovery is possible.

In a RAID 5, the least number of disks in the array is three. Even though all disks share the data storage responsibility, it is possible that one can go corrupt, hence affecting the storage media capability of the all-inclusive array. And this is where RAID Recovery like RAID 5 data recovery comes in, whereby via raid recovery specialized work a single disc can be repaired to allow the data that was stored on it to be recovered.

RAID Recovery services provided by different reputed Recovery companies are presented for all standard & nested levels of RAID. If you experience this kind of RAID failure and are always not able to sort it out yourself, just consult with one of the raid recovery professionals if you want to ensure that all of your data is fully recovered with upto 100% guarantee.

Stellar Information systems Ltd. Is market-leader in providing best, safe and comprehensive Data Recovery like RAID Recovery, Hard disk recovery, server recovery and so on. It caters for all RAID levels, including RAID0, RAID1, RAID3, RAID5 etc., using proprietary data recovery techniques and tools in Class 100 Clean Rooms.

RAID 1 failure and recovery options in India

2010-05-26T05:07:00.000-07:00

RAID 1 uses a technology called mirroring and requires a minimum of two drives of exactly the same size. This particular type of RAID architecture writes two copies of the data simultaneously on two separate drives. If one of the drives suffers a failure or doesn’t respond, the other drive will continue to function. Being high on fault tolerance, RAID 1 is quite popular for those who are not looking for great read performance. But if ever you encounter a RAID 1 failure which renders data inaccessible, there is better way than acquiring professional RAID recovery services.

RAID 1 only immune to physical failure

Though RAID 1 can be an effective solution in physical disk failure, it offers no data protection in many other circumstances. For instance, if a virus attack damages the data present on one disk of RAID 1 array, it will also end up infecting the same data on all other drives in the array simultaneously. Therefore, systems using RAID 1 as a protection against physical failure should also have a provision to maintain backup to allow data recovery in such cases. However, if a disaster strikes when there is no backup available, no need to press the panic button. Your data can be recovered safely provided you get in touch with RAID data recovery experts immediately.

Causes of RAID 1 failure

A RAID 1 array can succumb to a failure under following circumstances:

Bad sectors in RAID 1 array
Corrupt data in RAID array
MFT corruption
Accidental deletion of files
Controller failure
Firmware failure
Partition table corrupt
Power fluctuations
Virus attacks
Backup unsuccessful
Natural disasters like fire or flood

RAID 1 Recovery

Experts who are well-versed in recovering data from all types of RAID array should be trusted for this purpose. It is recommended you go for a company which has necessary and sufficient resources to perform RAID recovery. Ensure you select a company which has a clean room facility to perform invasive recovery on physically damaged hard drives.

Stellar Information Systems Limited is a reliable organization which specializes in providing effective and economical RAID data recovery services in India. The company has a team of highly-skilled technicians, a vast array of proprietary tools and Class 100 Clean Rooms to tackle recovery from almost all RAID levels including RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 0, RAID 6 etc. Stellar has centers at the following locations: Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Noida, Pune and Vashi.

Hard disk failure and data recovery options in India

2010-05-24T04:26:00.000-07:00

Hard drive failure is an unavoidable reality in today's technologically advanced era. Imagining such an event is tough if we take into account staggering rates with which data is growing. An organization's prosperity rate highly depends on its continuous access to data. And, in the absence of its critical business data – operational, customer database, sales ledgers etc – an organization doesn't stand anywhere. Realizing the need to provide support to disaster-stricken organizations and individuals, in the absence of valid backups, many hard disk data recovery options have surfaced in recent times.
Causes of hard drive failure
Many data recovery companies have taken the onus to rescue organizations and individuals from frightening hard drive failures. Be it a head crash or a broken hard drive, data can be recovered provided you avail hard disk recovery services from experts. Below is the list of prominent causes which lead to a hard drive failure

Firmware issues: Firmware is an embedded code which controls a hard disk's basic functions. If the firmware gets corrupted, a hard disk will not be able to interact with a computer

Electronic failure: A power surge or spike can prove disastrous to the controller board of the hard disk, making it undetectable in the BIOS (basic input/output system)

Mechanical failure: These failures occur due to problems with internal components of a hard disk. Head crash, spindle motor failure, and heads sticking to platters are some of the damages which constitute mechanical failure

Logical Errors: These comprise of virus attacks, human errors, file system corruption, MBR failure, deleted data, formatted drive, boot sector failure and so on.

Warning signals before an impending hard disk failure You must not take early signs of warning very lightly. A hard disk is bound to exhibit various symptoms in varying degrees if it is about to fail. Predicting and judging the symptoms at an initial stage may save you from the trauma of losing all the vital information to a serious hard drive crash. Let's have a look at some of the common indications:

“Drive not formatted,” “Operating System not found,” “No fixed disk present” and other error messages
Crunching and grinding noises from the drive
Desktop is not able to boot
Blue screen of death
Desktop hangs and freezes too often

Recovering data post hard drive failure Hard disk recovery experts employ advanced recovery techniques to deal varied cases of data loss, depending upon the nature of hard drive failure. Moreover, they are proficient in performing invasive recovery on physically damaged hard disks. There is no dearth of options in India when it comes to retrieving data from hard disks.

Recover data from hard drives in event of head crash

2010-05-17T04:52:00.000-07:00

Over the years, with advancement in technology, hard disks have got smaller and better. Considering the staggering rates of data growth, it's no wonder that hard disks which boast of a capacity of 2 TB have made their foray into the market. The downside is that their reliability factor has come under question since they are highly susceptible to mechanical failures. Head crash is one such event which can send shivers down an individual's spine. The inability to access the data may cause further annoyance and disturbance as an affected individual has no option but to rely either on a valid backup or hard disk recovery experts.

A head crash is the most common cause of hard drive failure. A head crash happens when a hard drive's read-write head touches its rotating platters, resulting in scratching and fatal damage to the magnetic surface of the platter. If and when you come across such an unfortunate situation, don't panic. Hard disk data recovery services can be availed in order to recover lost vital information from a failed hard drive.

A head crash is inevitable and the worst part is you can't even predict it. A hard disk's read-write head is precisely positioned on a disk platter and can make contact with it under various circumstances, resulting in grave data loss situations. Let's have a look at the instances which can be accounted for a head crash:

Wear and tear of hard drives
Dust factor: Since a hard drive is not 100 per cent sealed, dust particles can enter and obstruct the proper movement of a read/write head
A read/write head is suspended by an armature arm. If the armature arm of a head gets damaged, the chances of head touching a platter are very high
A head crash can occur if you accidentally drop your hard drive
Fluctuations in power supply can affect a head's movement, resulting in a head crash

To deal with head crash and data loss situation, it is important for an individual to trust only hard disk recovery experts. These experts employ top-notch technology and sophisticated tools to recover data from even severe damages.
