Hard Drive Crash Post Dropping of Computer

There is nothing in this world that comes close to the expense of losing your important hard drive data. A hard drive contains all kinds of data, including pictures, videos, audios, and documents. Damage in hard drive primarily occurs due physical damage reasons, such as, improper hard drive design, dropping of computer, excessive vibration/motion, faulty hard drive components, incorrect handling, and natural disasters. While backing up of the data enables you to overcome such disastrous situations, most computer users don't bother to create a valid backup. In such situations, if the user needs to recover the data from a physically damaged hard drives, then s/he needs to take help of renowned data recovery organization that provides effective Data Recovery Services.

To elaborate the above scenario, consider a practical scenario where you are walking in your office with simultaneously watching the e-mails on your laptop. While doing so, you collide with one of your colleagues and your laptop falls on the floor. After this incident, your laptop does not start and the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible.

Cause:

The root cause for the unbootability of your laptop is the physical damage of your hard drive. The same situation can also occur in case the CPU (Central Processing Unit) of your desktop falls on a concrete floor.

Resolution:

To overcome the above problem and to access the data saved in your hard drive, you will need to restore the data from an updated backup. But in case of absence of an updated backup, you will need to opt for the Data Recovery Services offered by some well-known Data Recovery organization.

Troubleshooting 'WARNING 0200: Failure Fixed Disk 0' Error with Maxtor Hard Drive

It is a nightmare when your computer tries to boot up but cannot do so because of a failed hard drive. The situations may go worse when you don't have any proper backup in place. Symptoms of hard drive failure include a completely dead hard drive or some error messages that suggest hard drive failure. Whatever the case may be, Hard Disk Data Recovery service is the solution that can aid you recovering lost data even from a severely damaged hard drive.

Maxtor is one of the top brands when it comes to reliable hard disks. But these hard disks can also get failed due to common causes that may affect other hard disks. In such circumstances, the hard disks may fail initial POST test and give the following error message:

“WARNING 0200: Failure Fixed Disk 0”

The number '0' can change according to the number of installed hard disks and BIOS type.

Note: POST or Power-On-Self-Test is the initial test performed by a computer when it is turned on to determine if the computer hardware is working properly. If the test finds hard disk not in proper state of working, it generates an error message, such as above.

Cause

Two main reasons for this problem to occur are:

• Maxtor hard drive is not attached to the computer properly

• Maxtor hard drive is physically crashed

Solution

You need to troubleshoot the depicted behavior using the below steps:

• Check if all hard disk cables are properly connected and in good state. If required, replace the cables

• Make sure that the hard disk is correctly configured in BIOS

• Ensure the proper jumper settings

If the hard disk is still undetectable, the hard disk is physically crashed. You can safely replace the hard disk if a suitable backup for data restoration is available. In other cases, you should consult the Data Recovery Services experts to extract the lost/inaccessible data from it. The Hard Disk Data Recovery technicians employ careful and advanced procedures to treat a physically failed hard drive and recover data in usable format.

Stellar Information Systems Limited is one of the trusted Data Recovery companies that provides efficient data recovery service solutions for all brands of hard disks, including Maxtor, Western Digital, Seagate, Hitachi more.

Types of Hard Disk errors & its Data Recovery

Hard Disk is the most important part of your PC, which permanently stores all your data, applications & operating system. Because it has moving internal parts, it may fail and create error at any point of time and may create into critical data loss situations. Such kind of situations can be taken care via deploying Data Recovery procedures.

Some disorders that can lead to errors of a hard disk, you will find listed here.

Logical error:

This error includes the mistakes that have an impact on the file structure, with the hard disk in such a case is technically intact. For instance, the master boot record is damaged or File Allocation Table file system is deleted or damaged. Viruses attack may have mixed up the file system or deleted. In most cases, the hard disk recovery is possible. It is also known as logical data recovery.

Another cause of data loss is the demagnetization of the magnetic disks of the hard disk. This can be done by sabotage or by disturbing magnetic fields . A data recovery is no longer possible.

Mechanical defects:

For the purely mechanical defects of hard drives, can't save the disks, but the data on hard disk can be restored via a professional data recovery. In cases where for an instance of a hard disk drive is beyond repair, will be installed via data recovery specialists in the class 100 clean room laboratory, the complete entire stack of magnetic disks to another hard drive and then backed up all data onto another hard disk. By dubbing this hard disk to a new hard drive, all data are immediately available again.

Physical Defects:

The hard drive is most likely to get damage due to physical defects, and may be its beyond the software repair capabilities, if any of the following symptoms is apparent:

• There is a problem apparent on the exterior of the hard drive, like visible damage to the connectors and/or chips.

• The hard drive is not listed in Windows Device Manager, Widows Disk Management and in the system BIOS.

• The hard drive remains silent (no movement/vibration, no spin-up sound felt) when powered up. Etc.

Data recovery helping to prevent loss data

Technology today has touched every part of our lives and revolutionized every single thing. From the moment we get up in the morning, till we go back to sleep at night, we are surrounded by the miracles of technology. Be it the alarm that wakes us up in the morning, or the means of transport that takes us to our work place, or our precious partner mobile without which most of us do not even feel complete. All these are a result of advancement in technology. And when we talk about technology, and its advancement, computers cannot be far behind. In fact, amongst all the technologies, computers are by far the most advanced, and that, when they are in their budding stage. Chatting, mailing, gaming, music, movies, drawing, writing, everything has shifted to computers. Various facilities like surfing, emailing, accessing free information, calculating, downloading, are byproducts of computers and their advancement.

But, every rose has its thorn. And the same is with technology, and needless to mention with computers. Computers are susceptible to data loss, owing to corruption or deletion of files. And many times due to these highly useful applications and software that we use. We might download a virus, or run too many applications, or accidentally shut down the computer. But even if we do not make these or similar mistakes, a power surge, blue screen of death, firmware problem, or mechanical failure might cause data loss.

However, with the advent in this world of technologies, today Data Recovery is also possible. In fact, recovering data from any storage media is possible, be it from the hard drive (internal or external) of desktop or laptop, RAID array, SAN and NAS storage media, USB drives, pen drives, memory cards, i Pods, anything. For data recovery, a sterilized clean room is required, where the dust particle are controlled to a high magnitude, so they do not affect the sensitive parts of the storage device. But Data Recovery Services requires an expertise, along with certain tools and software, that facilitate the data recovery job.

One such Data Recovery expert is Stellar Information Systems Ltd. This company is ISO 9001:2000 certified and deploys proprietary recovery tools and techniques in their Class 100 cleanroom labs, to recover all the data comprehensively. They have extended their Data Recovery Services towards more than an 1,100,000 people across 137 countries worldwide. In India, Stellar has 12 Data Recovery labs in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Vashi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

Is Data Recovery possible in Chennai?

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu, is India's 2nd largest exporter of software, IT & IT Enabled Services. The city also boasts of a large industrial base in the fields of healthcare, technology, hardware and cars.

And I am a B.Tech in computer engineering from the city's topmost college, working as a server administrator in one of the IT companies. Last week, while working on a huge project, there was a lot of data that was uploaded as well as downloaded. And, along with the useful business specific data, a few files (that eventually turned out to be potentially harmful) that were nowhere related to work were downloaded by some people in our organization. And, in a very short while, duplicated and reduplicated on most of the machines. And as is frequent in such cases, most of the systems were infected. Before we came to learn about it, the server crashed, along with inaccessibility of all the data, all the backups that were saved on the server.

All the work of our company came to a standstill, just because of one mistake done by a few people. But I guess thats how it is. One mistake, even a minor one, done by few becomes a punishment for many, along with those involved. We were all worried and unsure of what to do? We knew about data recovery software and were considering buying the software, but didn't know if it would completely recover all the files and all the work. In the emergency meeting, while discussing about this, one of the co-founders suggested Data Recovery Services in India.

This was new for us all. He went on, to elaborate, and suggested to seek help from, Stellar Data Recovery Services, a leading data recovery specialist, that had its branch office right here, in Chennai, with headquarters in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. They were a part of Stellar Information Systems Ltd., an ISO 9001:2000 certified company that performed large number of Server Recovery operations in its Class 100 cleanrooms.

But the main question that arose was, why not a product be ordered for data recovery? The reason given by him was, Stellar follows a 'No Recovery, No Charge' policy, and always gives an estimate after thorough analysis (of the storage media), about what data is recoverable and how much would be the approximate cost attached to it. After various rounds of discussion, it was decided that opting for Server Data Recovery Services in India, would be a safer bet for Server Recovery.

Stellar is capable of various data recovery operations apart from Server Recovery on wide range of storage media, including SAN, NAS and RAID servers. Recovering data from USB, iPod, laptop, internal and external hard drives, memory cards, SSD (Solid State Drive), exchange server and various other storage media is not a tough task for experienced and skilled recovery professionals at Stellar. They are capable of recovering data from encrypted files and drives as well.

Finally, we contacted Stellar and very soon we had all our data back, and operation running smoothly.

Gurgoan extends Hospitality along with Data Recovery

Last week, I went to meet my Pen Pal in Gurgoan. It was for the first time that we were meeting each other after a long friendship of over 6 years. Once there, he took me to visit all the wonderful places that they have. Gurgoan has a high standard of living with most of the things exorbitantly priced. We were both fond of music and had loud music playing in our car as we moved to various parts of Europe. At night, we were lodging into budget hotels.

One evening, when we checked into a hotel and were going to our room, one of the luggages fell down the flight of stairs that we had just climbed. We rushed down to pick up the bag just to realize that it was my laptop bag. We had hurriedly put our memory sticks, iPod, and Zip diskettes in my laptop bag. And here it was lying, to my dismay, on the floor. All my mails, files and photographs were gone! I had brought all these things to show them to my pal, who seemed to be very cool about the whole incident!

And why not, it was my treasure that was in ruins, not his!!

Everything was lost. I was upset.

We used to go for a drink, everyday, but today, I certainly did not feel like! I was completely ruined!

I didn't have my meals, and sat in front of my laptop, trying to start it, but to no avail. I looked at the broken devices, and did not realize when I went to sleep.

Next morning, the room had none of the things and I was starving. So, I went with my pal to have breakfast, and that is when he started talking.

He had given my stuff to a company that specialized in recovering data from any inaccessible storage media. That was dumb! How can data be recovered from a broken device?. But then he started telling me that it was an old concept in the field of technology. Data Recovery is very much possible thanks to companies like these, that have pioneered this concept.

This company, Stellar Information Systems Ltd., an ISO 9001:2000 company, that has more than 1,100,000 customers worldwide. They have their own controlled and sterilized Class 100 clean rooms, where all the recovery operations are carried out. Clean rooms ensure that Hard Disk Recovery can be done by opening the device, without the fear of dust particles settling on the platters, a situation that can render the hard drive data unavailable.

My friend had gotten all the devices analyzed and reassured me that all my things could be easily recovered. Besides Hard Disk Recovery, and small storage device recovery, Data Recovery was possible from Servers and RAID arrays.

When I went back, I had all my things and a treasure in the name of friendship.

Data Recovery Services required for Investigations

I am a private investigator, and having completed my studies, I have been working independently for various private and government investigations. Of course, in case of government investigations, I have assisted various federal agents, ex-spies, and even ex-police officers. We are always armed, ready to shoot anything and everything suspicious, with our camera. Generally we have to make and maintain notes for future references. At times, we have to follow a target, and making notes is part of the documenting procedure. These documents and photographs collected form a part of our report and help us analyze, plan and solve any case. Earlier the documenting procedure was tedious and time consuming. But, ever since we have shifted our work on the digital media, our work has become as smooth as silk.

But, if there is a solution for every problem,then with every solution comes another problem. And with the advantages that computers extend today, they also bring their share of problems. Virus infection, dead screen leading to loss of data, clicking/grinding noise of the hard disk, motor damage, hard disk head crash, etc. are just a few of the examples of such problems. I have learnt through my bitter experience, to take backup, and in most case to take double backup to save my crucial files and photographs.

But, despite all attempts, once in a blue moon, I find data inaccessibility. Yet, I do not get perturbed by it, as I have an ally named Stellar Information Systems Ltd., by my side, who are a pioneers in the field of Data Recovery Services. Earlier seeking their help was a bit of a problem, but thankfully, due to their innumerable branches all over the world, they are just a stone throw away. Even, Data Recovery Services in India, is at an all time high, with branches at 12 different locations in the country.

Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, Noida, Pune and Vashi cover almost the whole of the country. For all the places close to these locations, I merely need to bubble wrap my media for sending it to one of these offices.

For Data Recovery Services in Delhi (and around Delhi), I need to simply contact their Delhi office for the same, and my work would be done.

For Data Recovery in Noida and adjoining areas, their Noida office can be contacted.

Seeking their Data Recovery Services in Gurgaon is taking help from their headquarters.

A budding IT sector in Chandigarh, is also not far behind, with Data Recovery Services in Chandigarh.

All these along with the Data Recovery Services in Ahmedabad, form their Data Recovery task force in the northern region of the country. Likewise, they have spread Data Recovery Services in India, and abroad. They have class 100 cleanrooms, and follow a 'No Recovery, No Charge' policy, thereby showing their confidence in their data recovery capability. I have never in my profession followed such a policy, as I know how difficult it is to follow it. This company is ISO 9001:2000 certified, and follows stringent procedures along with complete transparency in the recovery process. They have never failed my faith in them and they are far more reliable than my backups, which if fall in wrong hands can turn the entire case upside down.
