Lost your Password? Must Read!!

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 06:35:32 -0500

A password is a secret word or phrase, that is applied to restrict any intruder, hacker or unknown person from getting access to the personal information. A password is generally applied for authentication of the identity or to gain access to a particular location or resource. So, in case you lose or forget your password, you will not be able to access that location of the system. Also, losing password would prohibit accessing any application like MS Office, Gtalk, etc (i.e., if you had set a password). This would lead to huge loss and inaccessibility of data or information, as you will not be able to access your password protected location or application. To avoid such situations, you must note down your password at some place where you can easily find it. And in case you lose it, you have to use a powerful Password Recovery Software to recover your password. Imagine a practical situation – You are a regular user of GTalk application. But, one fine day, while trying to log in, you could not remember the password of your account. You try hard to recall the password, but to no avail. **End Summary** Topics: Password recovery software]]> windows password recovery]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Pavan sharma is a freelancer doing research on windows password recovery softwares and novell data recovery software.

Enforcing Disk Quota Limit May Cause Data Loss in Windows Vista

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:50:06 -0500

In Microsoft Windows Vista, you can easily setup the 'Hard Disk Drive Space Quota' to set upper limits of storage space usage for user accounts. When you reach the maximum limit of allocated user space, it gives you a deny or warning message. This feature in MS Windows Vista is specifically useful when you have several users that access same computer and you need to restrict hard drive space for the users. However, in some cases this process may cause damage to your system and results into partition loss. In such circumstances, you need to use Partition Recovery solutions to retrieve lost partition and stored data. Every drive in Microsoft Windows Vista has distinguished quota settings. If you perform any action on a volume, it does not affect other disk volumes. While managing the hard drive quotas the operations you perform on a disk volume don't affect other volumes. You can limit the hard drive space usage in Microsoft Windows Vista through enabling Disk Quota organization feature by following the underwritten steps: Select 'Computer' from Start Menu of Microsoft Windows Vista. Right-click the Windows drive on which you need to configure the disk quota and then select Properties. **End Summary** Topics: Partition recovery]]> partition recovery software]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Manika Batta a student of Mass Communication doing research on partition recovery Software .

Further Use of Damaged File System Cause Serious Data Loss in Linux

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:55:16 -0500

File system is the most critical component of every computer operating system. It manages all the data on your hard drive. Operating system only interacts with the file system to access data from your hard drive. In some situations, this complex data structure gets damaged and all of your data stored on the hard drive become inaccessible. In Linux computer, you can check and repair minor file system errors using fsck. If this tool can not repair the damage, it alerts you unrepairable problems. Such issues need Linux Data Recovery to be handled effectively and easily. The file system implementation code is debugged very effectively, thus the problems does not occur so often and they are generally caused by the virus infection, improper system shutdown, user errors and power failures. Most of the Linux systems are setup to check file system integrity automatically during boot process, through fsck command. It detect and correct the errors before your system is used. Use of the damaged file system make the situations worse. If data structures are messed, further use of damaged file system would possibly mess up them even more, causing grave data loss situations. **End Summary** Topics: Linux Recovery]]> Linux data recovery]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Manika Batta a student of Mass Communication doing research on Linux data recovery software.

File system corruption renders all of your hard drive partitions inaccessible, resulting into partition loss. In such critical circumstances, you need to opt for partition recovery solutions to recover lost partitions and stored data. In a practical scenario, when you set up your computer that is running Windows NT-based Server to export to itself using Directory Replicator service on the NTFS (New Technology File System) file system partition, you come across any of the below error message: Event 3208 "The replication service could not update directory tmptree.rp$ from source on %3 due to error 183" Or Event 3216 "The system error 5 occurred" The error do not occur when you replicate the data on a FAT file system partition of same computer. **End Summary** Topics: partition recovery]]> partition recovery software]]> windows partition recovery]]> recover partition]]> recover windows partition]]> partition data recovery]]> wi]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Author is doing research on partition recovery related problems and discussed on the causes of Partition Corruption and File loss .Author suggested to use partition recovery software in case of partition loss or file corruption.

Root iNode Corruption Cause Data Loss in Linux

In Linux and other Unix-like operating system, you can detect and repair hard drive errors using fsck command. This command runs in 5 phases. In the first phase, it checks data blocks and their size while in second phase file and directory pathnames are checked. In the remaining three phases, the connectivity, file reference counts and the cylinder groups are examined respectively. If in the second phase, fsck disk checking process fails, you might come across critical disk corruption situations and possibly data loss. In such circumstances, to retrieve lost, missing and inaccessible data from affected hard drive, you need to opt for linux data recovery solutions. The problem may occur due to corrupted or missing iNode entries from Linux hard drive. At this point, you might encounter below error message: “Root iNode is not a directory. Clear?” This behavior of Linux operating system renders all of your critical data on hard drive inaccessible and results into serious data loss situations. In order to salvage data from affected drive, you need to carry out data recovery linux by sorting out the problem. **End Summary** Topics: linux Recovery]]> linux data recovery]]> linux data recovery software]]> ext2 recovery]]> ext3 recovery]]> reiser fs recovery]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Author is researching on Linux operating system super block corruption error that become the cause of data loss.
