Data Recovery Software Help

Dell XPS M1330 is the latest laptop from Dell computers. It is a high performance computer with its unique configuration. The hardware configuration of the laptop is as follows:

•    Processor- Intel Core 2 Duo
•    Motherboard- Intel 965 GM
•    Memory- 2 GB Dual Channel SD
•    Hard Drive- 160 GB 5400 RPM SATA

SATA is the latest technology of hard drive. These hard drives has more speed than traditional IDE and PATA hard drives.  Internal structure of laptop hard drive is different to the desktop hard drive. It is comparatively thin than desktop hard drive with same storage capacity.

Due to the thin structure of the laptop hard drive, the space between the head (a device that read/write data on hard drive platter) and is so minute. In some drives it is less than micro inches. Due to much less space even one dust particle could disable the spin of the head. The situation when the head touches the hard drive platter due to some dust particle can lead to head crash.

A head crash is the special type of hard drive failure that occurs when the read/write head of the drive touches the rotating platter of the drive resulting in a disastrous damage to the magnetic media on the surface of the platter.

In these circumstances, the hard drive head can’t read or write data from or to the platter and the drive become inaccessible and unusable leading to the nightmare of data loss. This is the worst scenario of laptop data loss. In these situations, to recover your data, you need for laptop data recovery solutions.

In this particular case of data loss, you need for laptop data recovery service to repair your laptop hard drive. Data recovery service is the process of recovering the lost data from physically damaged hard drive. The process of laptop data recovery service is done in specially designed data recovery labs known as “Clean Rooms”. You should never try to repair your hard drive by yourself in open environment; otherwise it may lead to further data loss.

Stellar Information Systems Ltd is a leading data recovery service and software provider company that can recovery all the data from your laptop hard drive in all possible cases of data loss. The company has Asia’s first Class-100 data recovery Clean Room to provide better recovery service to their customers. Along with the data recovery service, stellar also provides data recovery software for all popular operating systems including Windows, Macintosh, Linux, UNIX and Novell.

I’m working in Language department of a school. I own a Sony VAIO laptop for lesson preparation. Its model is PCG-9RHM that was purchased before six months.
Before one week, I was concerned by one error message that appears when the machine on saying “SMART failure predicted on hard drive 0 please perform immediate backup of data and replace the disk”. But this error doesn’t create problems, after starting the laptop works well.

Yesterday it gave a new error message “Delayed Write” from my operating system that is Windows XP. It looked like Windows XP was annoying to edit the registry when it croaked. After shut down, the laptop wouldn’t boot. When I tried to boot it in safe mode, it caused the system to reboot repeatedly after loading System32\Drivers\Mup.sys.
When I reported Sony VAIO tech support team in this regard they suggested to restore the system using 6GB hidden partition of my drive created by Sony. But I failed to find this partition when tried to access the drive as a slave to another computer.

When I asked them again, they told to restore the system using VAIO recovery disk. But I don’t want to loss my data, so installed the new operating system of another drive and tried to access the main drive by attaching on this computer. But I didn’t show even the partition of my drive. I was really much tensioned as I lost all the lessons created yet. Those were stored only this drive without backing up.

My drive was completely formatted and the data has been lost. I told this problem to my friend who works as a hardware engineer in a company. He told me that this is not a hardware failure, you hard drive is formatted due to some registry errors and suggested me to search for any solution about this problem.

I started searching on the Internet to find out the solution and got a data recovery software: Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery software. But I was not sure that this software can solve my problem, so called up the technical support team of the company and told them about the problem. They replied me that data recovery in my case is possible and also suggested to try to scan the drive using demo version of the software.
As they suggested, I downloaded and installed the Windows Data recovery software and start searching through the “search logical partition” option of the software. After few minutes of processing, the software displayed all the logical partitions and I attempted to perform scan for data on my logical partitions using advance scan of the software. The data recovery software displayed all the results in tree structure and I found that all of the lost data were recoverable and tried to recover them. But the software gave a message that you need to activate the software in order to recover the data. I just purchased the serial key of the software and recovered all my lost data.

X Series is the most popular series of laptops developed by IBM. These laptops have unique configuration with high speed process and memory. These are less prone to failure as their data storage technology on hard drive is quite different. These systems use Shock-Mounted Hard Drives.

These hard drives come with special metal covers and the platters of the hard drive are highly reflective. Because of the metal cover on the drive these are shock proof and there are less chances of short circuit. These drives have a screwdriver bit that is placed into one of six screws that clamp the stack of platters and spacers. In the center, below the screws and clamping plate, is the motor that spins the platters.

The head structure of the drive is also very different. There is more space between platters and the head of the hard drive when the drive is not working. Since the drive is not in operation, the head is simply pressed against the disk by the suspension. Continue Reading »
