Kroll Ontrack leader in providing solutions for backup and data recovery services has drawn up a list of those that are the most common errors that users make when there is a problem of loss of data on the hard disk of their computers, as well as give some tips on what to do and what not to do when faced with a similar case.
- Conduct in hazardous situations damaged hard disk are certainly to be avoided. The do-it-yourself, without an adequate knowledge of the hardware and the necessary technical skills, can lead to total compromise of the device, making impossible any future attempt to retrieve data
- Clean the disc. In most cases, the user proceeds to format the disc after restoring data from backups made previously. Once you clean the disc proceeds like a script for a new installation of software such as operating system and various applications. Although the transaction does not appear to be the most complex, but often one realizes too late that their backup is not updated or worse does not work. In this case there are solutions that allow you to recover data. The Board, however, is always to check the operation of the backup and its status update before proceeding to the formatting.
- Substitution of components: It often happens that in case of malfunction of the hard disk you try, improvising technical, to replace the failed drive by purchasing a similar, without considering that the components of a hd containing information of its membership drive the technical specifications of its new component, and especially that opening up the disc in unfit environments can cause irreversible loss of data.
- Block of the disc, or if you find that the drive and the heads are firm, for example because there is no noise due to the normal rotation of the flat disk, the most common mistake is to remove the disc and or try to shake him of taps, hoping to break the deadlock. Nothing more wrong! because it threatens to severely damage the disk at the physical level. In these cases is often that the head that graze the surface magnetic rovinino the surface of the plate that contains the data making it impossible to scratch and all future reading.
- Infiltrations liquids such as the overthrow of a glass. The same remedies are used, such as groped to dry the disc with a hair dryer, with the danger of only worsen the situation. The appropriate behavior in these cases is to keep the drive moist, thus preventing the impurities will be established on the plates inside the drive and contact the assistance of a professional provider of data recovery.
- Using improperly system utilities for recovering data. It is a strong temptation for the user who faces the risk of losing valuable corporate data, to use them. Classic examples are CHKDSK, Mac Disk Utility or fsck. The problem is that if the drive is physically damaged the use of these programs has resulted in further damage to the hard disk, making it harder to recover data.
Conclusions: In most cases, do not improvise technical do-it-yourself but contact an expert who knows how to resolve the situation and prevent loss of information. In over 80% of cases, you can retrieve the full content of the medium, even in cases apparently insoluble, but you do know!
