HOW TO RECOVER DATA FROM A SYSTEM

HOW TO RECOVER YOUR DATA WHEN YOUR SYSTEM FAILS

A lot of times we have been victims of data lose in one way or the other. Hard disk failure is an inevitable problem associated with computers. And through this, lots of important documents and data are lost, often leading to huge loss to companies and individual businesses alike. As such, it is therefore very important to know what to do when such happens.
When your computer suddenly refuses to boot or turn on, the following are some simple steps to take to retrieve your files, which can save you a reasonable amount of money.

1. Get an External Case
Once your computer refuses to boot, the most reliable means of retrieving your data is to get a Hard disk external case that you can connect to another computer using a USB cable. This method gives you access to your files before calling a pro.

2. Use a LiveCD
If you do not have a second computer to do the above method, using LiveCD will be ideal. You’ll need to get temporary access to a computer with Internet and a DVD burner. Download a Linux LiveCD, Small Linux is the smallest, but also has issues mounting hard drives. The most simple for an average computer user would be Puppy Linux. It has a larger file size, but should recognize your drive. Burn the Live CD ISO to a CD and insert it into your computer (the one with the crashed hard drive). Restart the computer and when it the computer logo appears, press F2 (or whatever key for your system) to enter BIOS. Change the boot sequence to CD first, Save and then Exit.
The Live CD will start, simply follow the directions on the screen. The OS will start, and you should see your hard drive mounted on the desktop–something like “60GB”, etc. Plug in a second drive and copy and paste the folders over.

3. Data Recovery Software
If the two options above sound confusing, you can get a data recovery software for a few bucks. Personally, I used EASY RECOVERY, and it was very effective. I got the software for a reasonable amount, and I have not regretted because it has proved its worth. In fact, the software can even recover windows applications and registry files intact. The software can even be used to repair Microsoft office documents. You really need to give a try to this software if you chose to recover your lost files.

If you need the software, you can send an email to ketuzkoncept1@yahoo.com with subject: SEND SOFTWARE. After that sending the email, in the next 48hrs, the software will be sent to your box with guides on how to use it.

4. Call a Professional: If you fell is very difficult for you, simply take your hard drive a professional that will be able to retrieve your document, it may be costly but it’s worth it except the files are not very important.
