What does data recovery mean to you?

August 28, 2009 — 585

Hard disk drives have now become imperative to everyday life, even to those who have never seen one before. Many people do not know what hard disk drives look like and how they should be treated. Many users transport their external drives in their bags not realizing how sensitive they are. Manufacturers build rugged drives, but they are still not immune, their casing is tough but the internal components are not. Therefore if you drop your external drive you may have to pay the consequence ? a data recovery company.

There are many specialized data recovery companies in the market; this is ultimately due to the high number of drives that are failing. The correlation shows that the numbers of hard drives that are failing are in line with the numbers that are being manufactured. Statistics show that the numbers of hard drives produced every year are in their millions. And this number is going to carry on increasing and this is due to the variety of products that a hard drive will be used in. Plus the Government has recently unveiled Digital Britain which now means that everyone will have a computer, which in actual fact the percentage of the population that owns a computer is a lot less than you would think.

Digital Britain will boost the hard drive market and in turn will boost the data recovery market. Hard drive failure is a reality for a very high percent of those who own a computer. The data recovery companies see this day in day out. The number of customers who have complained that their hard drive is only a few weeks old keeps on increasing. Is this due to the higher capacity of hard drives or is there another problem?

Do we need a better design of hard drive or is it that we have to keep backing up our data time after time to ensure that the pictures of our loved ones won?t be lost forever. However we do know that even if the drive fails, there is still hope for the data, data recovery technicians are able to work wonders. They are able to resurrect data that many people thought they had lost forever.

Data recovery is pretty soon going to be a mainstream service, not only will it be a necessity to many but a get out of jail free card to husbands who forgot to backup their children?s baby pictures.

Data Recovery, what, when and why would you need it? Is it a con?

August 28, 2009 — 585

What do data recovery technicians do? Do they simply plug the drive into some wonderful piece of kit that automatically recovers the data? Do they wave a magic wand and have the data moved directly from your drive to a new one? Is it a con?

The answer is no. Data recovery is a black art, being able to recover data from drives that have failed requires skill, precision and patience. Data recovery technicians have to be able to manipulate drives, open them up and repair small components to enable the safe recovery of data.

A clean room is needed to carry out data recovery effectively, if this is not available and the process takes place without this critical clean air environment you can wave bye bye to your data. As any particle of dust or hair that lands on the platter surface will damage the data way beyond repair.

Some customers feel that they are paying way over the odds for data recovery, and many compare it to the amount they originally paid for the entire computer system. However customers fail to understand the amount of skill and work that goes in the data recovery process and also the number of hours they spend in the lab and the amount of legwork needed to be done to ensure that the customer is happy data they have retrieved .

Hard drives fail for a number of reasons. The main reason being that they have been dropped which has a dramatic effect on the hard drive and its ability to read the data. Data recovery specialists typically see this type of drive failure on a daily basis and work hard to recover that data by using specialist recovery techniques known only to the data recovery industry.

Recovering Deleted Files

What is unallocated space?

September 6, 2008 — 585

What is unallocated space?

Unallocated space, sometimes called “free space”, is logical space on a hard drive that the operating system, e.g Windows, can write to. To put it another way it is the opposite of “allocated” space, which is where the operating system has already written files to.

Examples.

If the operating system writes a file to a certain space on the hard drive that part is now “allocated” to the file, and no other files can be written to that section. If that file is deleted then that part of the hard drive is no longer required to “allocated” and becomes unallocated. This means that  new files can now be re-written to that location.

On a standard, working computer, files can only be written to the unallocated space.

If a new drive is connected to a computer, virtually all of the drive space is unallocated space (a small amount of space will be taken up by files within the file system, e.g $MFT, etc). On a new drive the unallocated space is normally zeros, as files are written to the hard drive the zeros are over written with the file data

Working Example

Blank Drive

A freshly formatted (NTFS) 500 GB hard drive starts with 99.9% unallocated space; we will assume its 100% to make the maths slightly easier. All of the unallocated space will be zeros, literally 00 00 00 written on the hard drives.

If a 5 GB file, e.g a large movie, is placed on the drive, then there will be 1% (5 GB)  allocated space and 99% unallocated (495 GB)

If a 10 GB database file is now added to this hard drive there will be a total of 3 % (15 GB) of allocated space and 485 GB unallocated space. New files will only be written into the remaining unallocated space.

What happens when a file is deleted?

If the movie file, from the above example, is deleted the allocated space it was using will now become unallocated. I.e There will now be 2% allocated space (the 10 GB database) and 98% unallocated space. 

However the data from the movie file is still on the hard drive, it does not just disappear, it just changes its status. This means that the following situation now exists:

There is 10 GB of allocated space and 490 GB of unallocated space.

Of the 490 GB, 485 GB would be all zeros, however 5 GB of the unallocated space would be the old movie data.

Until new files are written to the hard drive this movie file will remain deleted but still  recoverable from the hard drive. Even if new files are written it must overwrite the same unallocated space as the movie file, before the movie file is destroyed.

Unallocated space can only be accessed by specialist tools, and now directly from Windows. Such tools include:

R-Studio, WinHex, EnCase, FTK,
