Information recovery specifically designed for Linux

March 9th, 2009

There was a time when the Linux operating system was considered only usable by hardcore computer geeks. Linux is a very precise program generally shunned in favor of Windows due to its lack of fancy features. In fact just ten years ago if one wanted to use Linux on a PC there were no easy install Linux distributions. This changed when Redhat repackaged Linux so that anyone could easily install it. Now there are dozens of Linux distributions and many PC owners have found that Linux lets them get new life from an older slower PC. As simple and quick as Linux is it is still prone to the problems of hard drive access corruption as are Windows and Apple programs. For this reason, Disk Doctors, the world’s leading data recovery firm has developed a data recovery tool just for Linux applications. This powerful utility can scan Linux superblocks for lost files and quickly recover the data on them. Only a Linux recovery utility can rescue Linux files.

Recovering lost partitions on Windows systems

March 9th, 2009

Data recovery on computers using the Windows operating systems can take many forms. Simple file recovery can be needed when one accidentally deletes a needed file or if a file such as an email is corrupted on transfer. But most Windows data recovery refers to dealing with a situation where a computer won’t start because huge sections of that PC’s hard drive have been damaged. These sections and the access code to them are referred to as partitions. Consider them as you would a lock on a door. Should the key become lost or damaged you need a locksmith. In the case of partition recovery that locksmith is Disk Doctors. Disk Doctors has developed targeted partition recovery programs for every version of Windows. In fact there are only two windows programs needed on for older Windows operating systems and one for newer, These programs require no special skills to use and successfully recover your lost data.

Solid recovery tools for Microsoft Outlook and OE

March 9th, 2009

When one needs to recover lost emails the requirements for data recovery can be quite rigid. Most email recovery can be divided into two areas. These are web based mail and client based. Web based mail such as Yahoo or AOL mail can be recovered in two different ways. If the message was recently received most web-based email has it stored in a special file. Simply look at the file marked recently deleted mail and restore the message. If the message was opened on your PC then the information is stashed in your temporary Internet files folder on your hard drive.

You will need a basic data recovery tool to open that folder and retrieve your mail. The most popular client based email systems are Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. These use special files bearing unique extensions developed by Microsoft. These are .PST and .DBX respectively. If you use either of these email systems and have lost any email you can restore that email easily using Disk Doctors PST repair or Disk Doctors Outlook Express recovery.

Targeted file recovery for any data format

March 8th, 2009

Image files usually bear the extension JPG, PNG or GIF. There are of course dozens more file extensions for image files. These files are all created differently using different coding. When a Jpeg or other image file is lost on a computer hard drive it can easily be recovered using a third party file recovery program. But that program must be built so as to recognize file types and code. How else could the program to recover lost files know what it was looking at? Few companies make data recovery software that is powerful enough to retrieve files from hundreds of different file extension type. In fact most data recovery software does little more than the chkdsk program built into Windows. This won’t help you when you are looking for a lost MP4 file on you iPod.

When you need real file recovery of any kind of file, you need a targeted program to recover lost data from Disk Doctors. Disk Doctors has developed over 40 programs to rescue data. Most have multiple capabilities so all you need to do is choose the program that matches your PCs operating system and you will never permanently lose a file again.

March 8th, 2009

If you have sensitive or secret information stored on your PC then you need to be aware that anyone can access your data. This includes the record of any websites you have visited as well as financial records and personal emails.

This will protect you from a slight cursory examination but anyone either legitimate or not that really wants to get at your personal information can do so easily with a downloadable data recovery program.

A Mac specific program for logic crash losses

March 7th, 2009

Apple Macs are far and away the best-built computers available. The operating system never crashes, the graphics set the industry standards for both viewing and development and the durability of Apple equipment is legendary. Much like Mercedes Benz automobiles, Apple gear is around ten years ahead of the competition. Mac Laptops are perhaps even more amazing as they now use large solid state hard drives that are impervious to mechanical breakdowns. Still that does not mean that they are immune to a logic crash. And earlier Macs use conventional hard disk drives. So even Apple Macs can fail. When they do fail, smart owners use the new Mac data recovery program from Disk Doctors.

The user-friendly program allows anyone with any level of computer literacy to easily recover Mac files. Whether your Mac or Mac book uses a hard disk or a solid-state drive you can rescue any data locked away by a logic crash with the Disk Doctors Mac Data Recovery Program.

Fast, safe email recovery for Microsoft Outlook

March 7th, 2009

I have email addresses on Yahoo and AOL I have owned for over 12 years. Kind of amazing isn’t it? I also have email addresses for my business that are tied to websites. These are two completely different types of email and both of them manage to find different ways to lose my messages. In the case of web based email systems I have lost messages for many reasons. Usually it is because of delays in the message arriving. When a message arrives three days late I often open the not and cannot place what it pertains to then I delete it. With my own server based email system Microsoft Outlook the messages are lost due to flaws in the Outlook Program. In any event the email recovery remedy is a program from Disk Doctors.

Disk Doctors PST repair will quickly locate any file that has been corrupted or deleted on Microsoft Outlook. When I need to recover deleted emails from my web based addresses I use disk doctors Windows recovery as a catchall tool. It scans my temporary Internet storage files and any email that was opened and looked out can be found on my hard drive.

Recover deleted files by undeleting them

March 5th, 2009

The term “undelete” is often used to describe an action we take to recover deleted files. And while it is technically incorrect it still serves as usable term explaining all kinds of computer data recovery requirements. Do you have a situation that requires you to find and restore a lost file?

Generally, the need for file recovery is created by one of two scenarios. Either your computer has deleted a needed file through a software failure, or you have deleted the file due to human error. In the first case files can be lost or go missing as unreadable under many circumstances. Many programs set folder size limits so that at some point when you place new files into it, old files are automatically deleted. Human error in deletion of files takes many forms. One can be uninstalling an obsolete program and not be aware that attached to that software are many needed program application files. And of course everyone from time to time clicks on delete when they meant to hit save. Regardless of how your files were deleted, when you want to undelete them the solution is to download Disk Doctors Undelete. This powerful yet easy to use program will quickly find the content of your deleted file and then save that data to another safe location. Or if you prefer Disk Doctors Undelete can write your now recovered files directly to a CD/DVD.
