Data Recovery Software Help For Windows, Mac , Linux Systems

A hard disk can be divided into logically separated storage units called as partitions. Every partition is formatted according to a file system. The file system decides the method of organizing and storing the data into the partition. Different operating systems use different file systems, such as Windows operating system uses NTFS, FAT, or exFat file system. Therefore, if the partition or partition file system suffers from some corruption or malfunction then chances of data inaccessibility or data loss saved on that partition are created.

However, there are measures available online to fix the problems related to partition corruption. But, sometimes these solution measures too fail to rectify the issue and thus the problem itself compels the user to reformat the partition. Though, reformatting deletes all the data from the hard drive partition but the data can easily be recovered form updated backup. In the absence of backup, third-party partition recovery software can do the needful.

Let us discuss this issue through practical example. Consider, when you try to start your Microsoft Windows XP based computer (which has NTFS partition), encountered the following error message:

“Windows could not start because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel. Please contact your support person to report this problem.”

After encountering this error message, you may become unable to boot your system. However, to solve this issue, you must understand the causes behind occurrence of this error message.

Cause:

This issue occurs when the Hal.dll and Ntoskrnl.exe files are mismatched.

Resolution:

To solve this problem start your computer with Windows XP installation CD then follow the below mentioned steps:

• Go to setup page and repair the Windows installation by selecting ‘R’.
• Now at the recovery console, run CHKDSK, to fix the errors on your disk.
• Try to run BOOTCFG/rebuilt, to rebuild the boot configuration. Provide all the information which are asked and press Enter.
• Then try to run FIXBOOT , to fix the current boot sector.
• In the end try to run FIXMBR to fix the issues related to Master Boot Record of your system.
• Now, go out of the recovery console by selecting Exit and restart your computer.

Most of the times the above recommended resolution steps can solve the issue and fix the error. But, there are times when these solutions fail to workaround the situation at that time you are left with single choice that is to format your Windows XP based hard drive and restore the data from updated backup. However, in the absence of an updated backup, one is left with a choice that is to use third-party partition recovery software to recover precious data. These software can recover your data lost due to formatting or deletion of partitions.

Any problem with your computer hard drive internals may cause a number of severe data loss situations. It is the most important part of a computer that stores all the data. Even minor damage to the drive may create problems in accessing your business critical data and you have to carry out Hard Drive Recovery to overcome these problems.

Handling such kind of physical hard drive problems isn’t usually something that a normal home user should attempt. Physical Data Recovery is not like just restoring some files or folders after accidental deletion. It could become really complex that needs experience and specific skills and it must be carried out in safe and controlled environment of Clean Rooms. To solve the issue, you should understand the problem areas of your hard drive:

1    The storage components of your hard disk are referred to as ‘platters’. Any damage to disk platters is generally the most difficult one to sort out because the damage could actually remove your precious data stored on the drive itself. Such kind of damage could be resulted by issues with other hard drive components like read/write head. Data Recovery in this situation requires great expertise in this field.

2   When you read or write data from/to the hard drive, the operation is actually carried out by read/write head. This is actually responsible for accessing data from the hard drive platters. Any damaged to this hard drive component might result into serious data loss. To solve this problem, head replacement is required that is actually done by Hard Drive Recovery professionals.

3    Another common problem area of hard drive is ‘actuator arm’. Damage to this part also causes severe damage to disk platters and ultimately unacceptable data loss. When it happens, you may hear some odd noises like clicking, scrapping etc. In these situations, you should immediately shut down your computer and contact disk recovery specialists.

4    Data inaccessibility and data loss problems may also occur due to damage to the hard drive circuit board. The problems may occur due to power outage and heat. The circuit board is responsible for supplying power to the hard drive and run spindle motor. When this part gets damaged, the spindle motor may not run and thus the platters and head can not move and data can’t be accessed. To fix this problem, circuit board replacement is required.

When you face any of these situations, it would be better to shut down your computer. Further use of system may worsen the situation and make your data irretrievable. The best thing to do is to find a reputed and experienced disk recovery company and send you hard drive to it.
