Hard Drive Data Recovery
2008-10-20 06:22:00
You’ve been working on a project or term paper on the computer, and suddenly, the computer crashes and all your data is lost. Well, not quite–you can actually have many of your computer files restored via a service called hard drive data recovery. This process is done by professionals, and helps you to recover important documents to access on another computer if your PC has crashed. When you contact a hard drive data recovery specialist, he or she will try to find the cause of the data loss first. If you have noticed that your computer has been running slowly lately, or if it has been difficult for you to save documents, this could be a sign that it’s time to buy a new device. If you see a bright blue screen pop up when you try to change programs or applications, this is another sure sign that you’re going to need hard drive data recovery soon. A specialist will also be able to check for virus contamination and file overwrites, as well as defects in your har...

Advanced hard drive partition and geometry recovery
2008-09-21 09:55:00
Here is the story: My brother?s got a full of information 160GB hard drive which after running several Scandisk tests didn?t show up at the BIOS system report at reboot. The hard drive was NFTS formatted so I thought that the recovery process should go easily.I run my favorite recovery software R-Studio, FileScavenger etc? but they didn?t recognize the hard drive at all. It appeared that drive?s geometry (heads,sectors,cylinders) information was also incorrect. So no matter how many file recovery applications I was using the result stayed the same: unrecognized file system or misplaced file information.I looked at the hard drive?s sticker and noticed the Cylinders Heads Sectors values which could be also found in its service manual. Then loaded up the free testdisk program and carefully entered those numbers in the Geomety section. But the 160GB hard drive now appeared as 37GB?what was happening? In order to allocate bigger hard drives sizes 2 types of addressing have been invented:...

Hardware Mismatch for Fibre Channel Hard Drive
2008-08-19 16:32:00
We had a hard drive (FC) mismatch and had to rebuild the path_to_inst file and /dev/rdsk/*, /dev/dsk/* and /dev/rmt/* directories. We had two drives (but the backup drive was inoperable), so instead of booting off the backup, we had to recover via cdrom. That part was a little trickier than expected. After a little web searching, a handy disaster discovery procedure (hardware mismatch) was found on the Sun BigAdmin site.Method 1 (towards the bottom of the Sun page)Here is what was done.Boot from CDROMok boot cdrom -s# mount /dev/dsk/c1t#d#s0 /mntRename path_to_inst# mv /mnt/etc/path_to_inst /mnt/etc/path_to_inst.orgRemove- all old device links# rm /mnt/dev/rdsk/c1*; rm /mnt/dev/dsk/c1*; rm /mnt/dev/rmt/*Rebuild path_to_inst and devices (this (syntax) was the part we were missing)# devfsadm -r /mnt -p /mnt/etc/path_to_inst **Note: Suspect corrupted bootblock? - reinstall it. # cd /mnt/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs # /mnt/usr/sbin/installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t#d#s0Unmount root...
How to upgrade the hard drive in a Topfield TF5000PVRt
2008-08-15 10:23:00
I purchased my Topfield TF5000PVRt standard definition personal digital video recorder about four years ago when they first came out. It's a great little box with twin SD digital tuners and an 80Gig hard drive. All that techo guff means that you can pause and rewind live TV as well as watch a pre recorded show whilst recording two different shows on different channels all at the same time. You can also put your music on it if you want via a USB connection, but the 80Gig hard drive is the limiting factor. It's good for about 30 hours of TV. A bit later on they increased it to 120Gig, but even that's not enough. Over time I had filled mine up with movies and shows (mostly cooking shows - Food Safari rocks!) so that I was always deleting stuff to make more room. Enter Ebay. I've purchased a brand new 400Gig drive via Ebay for the bargain basement price of $79.00 and now I'm about to go about upgrading my trusty Topfield. Read on if you would like to see how it w...

How To Move Linux to a New Hard Drive
2008-07-27 00:49:00
It's been a busy week for me. It's been one of those weeks where all the machines in the house gang up on me and demand attention at once. Like the Twilight Zone episode "A Thing About Machines", I've had to carefully negotiate with them, bargaining to keep them patched so I don't have to repair them for just a bit longer. While I'm at it, let me just mention that I also switched over my ISP. And a big, whooping shout goes out to Iowa Telecom, our new DSL provider, for unflinchingly providing comprehensive tech support to set up my network with their service even after I admitted to openly running Linux! We're set up with their DSL now, which has had no problems at all. Back to the point of this post, one of the computers ran out of hard drive space. So I had a bigger hard drive with four times the disk space handy, and swapped them. The steps: 1. You'll need to connect the new drive onto the IDE cable. Most IDE cables have two plugs for hard drives. The headache comes wit...
