The Data disaster recovery

Tap Delete key, click empty Recycle Bin, stop breathing, hit panic button... Sounds familiar? And then, have you felt that supreme feeling of futility and vacuousness well up when you learn that your hard disk has packed up? Well, despair not. And heed not the hardware engineer when he tells you all is lost. Until you have tried out these freeware remedies. They may just save your skin/sanity/soul even after a trigger-happy finger has found the delete key... Or the dark forces of digitaria have dealt death blows to your hard disk's partition tables...

Before you say your prayers and attempt data recovery, here are some points you should keep in mind: If you have deleted a file/directory inadvertently and want to get it back, avoid using your system/concerned media till you have managed to retrieve your data. The more the activity on the disk/media, the greater the chances of your deleted data being overwritten. So do not copy any files to the disk containing your lost data. Avoid Web browsing; a browser's cache files could obliterate your deleted files. Avoid launching unnecessary programmes; agam, a programme's temp file writes to the disk. In fact, delete as many more files as you can to create more free space as there are chances of overwriting lost files with new one. So empty the Recycle Bin. Clear your browser's cache. Install a recovery programme, but not on the disk where your deleted data is located. read more……..
