So the worst thing that could have happened did happen! Your HDD hard drive failed and you lost all your information! But what about your big presentation you have at the end of the week with your boss? All the information for that PowerPoint presentation was also lost and you did not back it up on a thumb drive! I bet you think you are doomed! Well, you’re not! In fact, you just got lucky! Whether it was due to your personal error, formatting partitions, virus attack, bad sectors on the storage media, reinstalling the operating system, partition table corruption, MBR, power surge or any other reason, your information can be restored! And this is all made possible by HDD Hard Drives Data Recovery Software.

Now as the name suggests, data recovery software is software which recovers lost data from malfunctioning media storages, whether it was lost due to physical or logical corruption of your hard disk drive as suggested above. It was deemed a necessity as there were thousands of individuals like yourself that was continuously loosing valuable data due to hard drive failure, which we all know is inevitable at some point in our computer’s life. In reality, hard drives have very sensitive components including the circuit board, actuator arm, shaft, motor, platters and the read/write head that usually get damaged over time and as is understood, when these go bad, the hard drive ceases to work.

This software has an amazing data restoration technology capable of recovering deleted files, documents, songs, videos, photos and even movies from hard drives, external hard disks, iPods, digital cameras, floppy drives and other storage media devices with supported operating systems such as Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Novell. Hence there is no need to worry that your operating system is not supported by data recovery software. If you have a Windows operating system, the Windows Data Recovery Software can recover all lost and deleted files and folders as it supports VFAT, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and NTFS5 files. For those Mac computers, the Macintosh Data Recovery is capable of restoring Mac data from unattainable Mac volumes and Mac storage media devices including Mac HFS and HFS+ file systems. Additionally, the Novell Data Recovery restores information from Novell Netware and Novell NSS volumes, including those formatted. It also recovers data when v-repairs prove unsuccessful in repairing corrupt Novell partitions. Last but not least, those with a Linux operating system can also receive such benefits as this software is able to recover data from Linux EXT2, EXT3 and Reiserfs volumes, formatted Linux partitions. In addition, it can reinstate data after it deleted from the trash can and after Super Block or Inode table corruption.

So now all you need to do is to download one of these software for your precious HDD Hard Drive and finish preparing for that PowerPoint presentation for your boss! No worries!

If only man was that great to develop something so divine as a flawless, faulty-less computer! Impossible! The truth is, we all have to go through issues facing our personal computers, and how irritating it can be! Nothing is more frustrating than having a faulty computer or devices that may seem to have a life of its own and not follow the commands of its owner.  Many of these instances call upon us the owners to try to find out what the problem is, as to resolve it before it reaches a point where it will cost us!

That is where the concept, Computer Troubleshoot comes in! It involves a process of elimination where the problem with the computer or its devices (including peripheral) is sourced and then resolved (if it is even that simple)! Usually when one goes through this process of elimination, a major factor has to be established in order to begin. It is figuring out whether the problem with the computer is because of a malfunctioning hardware or outdated and/or corrupted software. Hence, troubleshooting can be broadly divided into two aspects, that of the hardware and software components. Now this all might be a tedious process and does require some patience and persistence!

Some common issues people face which can be solved when you computer troubleshoot include, hard drive clutter, when the computer runs extremely slow as well as when the mouse, keyboard or other hardware devices fail to work. Did you know that the simple Control, Alt and Delete action is also a troubleshooting strategy that determines which one of the frozen/slow programs on your PC is not responding? A simple action we undermine its power almost daily!

Take for instance, that you are trying to communicate with your friends via your Windows Live Messenger in a voice conversation but they are unable to hear you. Your troubleshooting instincts would kick in instantaneously where you would either think it is the Windows application itself that is at fault or your microphones. So you would restart the program and if the problem still exists, then through the next step in your process of elimination, you would try to obtain if it is indeed your microphones at fault. Some common troubleshoot procedures may include checking to see if the microphone is connected properly in the microphone jack at the back of the computer ( if it is not within the system), checking to see if the sound drivers were set up properly in the operating system as well as checking to see if the battery-ran microphone has battery life. Perhaps with no success after all these checks, then a computer consultant can be called in to assess the situation ($$$)!

Also consider the situation, with an issue with the computer software, where your computer programs refuse to open or are running too slowly, you experience unexplained crashes and error messages and the Control, ALT and Delete initiative fail to work. Then it can be one of many things; RAM usage needs to be minimized by closing those programs not in use, the PC needs to be shut down and restarted, the PC needs to be rebooted or systems scans need to be run to eradicate viruses, malware and other forms of malicious software. Again if these initiatives prove unsuccessful, then perhaps it’s time to ask the computer specialist to do his own troubleshoots for a special fee! But otherwise, before you jump the gun to pay a fee, computer troubleshoot! Its free and simple as ABC!

1.Right click on the start bar and click start task manager.

2.Click the Performance tab.

3.Click on the bar named memory to sort the applications by how much memory they are using.

4.Now end Process on any software you’re not using right now.

5.(Optional) Refer to this post to stop the software from starting with your computer. Stop startup programs.

Edit: Sorry forgot a step this is to clear up some confusion.

6. You will be prompted with a warning box. If you are closing word or some other app make sure everything is saved first. And closing an applictation that you don’t know could cause the system to be unstable but after a restart everything will go back to normal so you don’t really need to worry.
