Memory Card Unrecognizable after Formatting in Windows XP

2009-08-05T07:45:00.000-07:00

In Windows, you can format a memory card or memory stick to FAT (also known as FAT16 file system), FAT32 or NTFS file system. Some digital cameras support only a particular file system. Therefore if you use an unsupported file system formatted memory card with the camera, it will not recognize it. To solve such problems, you will need to reformat the memory card to make it compatible with digital camera. You will need to restore lost data from backup. However, in case of any backup concerns, you should use Digital Photo Recovery applications to recover the lost digital data completely.

As an instance, when you insert any of the below removable media device into your digital camera, you might observe it unrecognized:

Multimedia Card (MMC)
Secure Digital (SD) card
Compact Flash card
Memory Stick
ATA Flash card
SmartMedia card

This behavior is specifically observed in Windows XP.

Cause

You have used Windows Explorer in Windows XP to format the removable media device in question. If the volume has been previously formatted to FAT file system and doesn’t contain more than 2 GB of data, the format utility will use FAT32 file system as the default setting. Thus if you format your removable media device or memory card using Windows Explorer in Windows XP, it will be formatted to FAT32 file system. The above behavior is observed if your digital camera doesn’t support FAT32 file system. This problem is mostly observed in earlier models of digital cameras.

Solution

You should consider these steps to fix this problem:

The latest service pack of Windows XP has fixed the issue. If you install this, it compels Windows XP to retain the original file system while reformatting it.
To prevent such issues, you should change the default setting while formatting
To make the memory card recognizable by digital camera, reformat it by using digital camera software. Restore the lost data through the most recent backup available.

In case if no clean backup is available or you don’t have any backup, you should use Photo Recovery Software. Designed with advanced Digital Photo Recovery technology, these tools recover and restore all digital data from any of the removable media device.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is a fully-featured tool that recovers all lost photos, audios and videos from memory cards, memory sticks, hard drives and USB flash drives. It is a read-only Photo Recovery Software that supports almost all digital file formats. The application is available for Windows (Windows Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000) and Mac (Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.4 Tiger and 10.3.9 Panther).

Secure Digital or SD card is the flash memory card, available in capacities range from 1 MB to 4 GB. These are non-volatile memory cards used in different portable devices. But SD card might get corrupted if you forcefully remove it from a computer system. Such situations cause critical data loss as to solve these problems; you need to reformat the SD card. You will need to restore lost data from the recent data backup available. But if backup seems to be invalid or you don’t have any backup, use commercial Photo Recovery tools.

Protect Your Online Assets

2009-07-26T00:29:00.000-07:00

Many of us have spent countless hours developing and refining our websites. Also, if you deliver electronic content (ebooks, art work, software) you have spent much time creating these goods as well. Don’t risk losing everything! Make sure you can always get back to where you were by having multiple backup versions.
First a couple of basic points: Most hosting providers perform backups on a regular basis (weekly, daily, or on demand); You should always have a local copy on your own home computer or burned to CD. Now with that said, there are still some open issues. What if your hosting provider only provides weekly back-ups and you make a change to your site, publish it with your editor (or FTP it), and then discovered some mistakes that were difficult to roll back from, and now the hosting provider has backed up your mistakes? If you don’t change your content much this may not be a problem. Most of us have Zip disks or read/write CD drives at this point, but not everyone. Also, what if your local copies are destroyed say in a home fire, or if your local computer disk drive crashes and you had no copy (come on -- admit it, I know you're out there)?

In the interest of protecting your online assets, it is important to save your website to an online storage site. Most businesses store their important data files offsite, and here is a way for you to do the same--for free. Many web-based storage sites allow plenty of space to store large files, so you can save daily or weekly snapshots of your site as needed. You can also register for more than one of these sites; and the good news is that there are still a few that are FREE! I will tell you how to find them shortly.

First, here is an example of how you could use these services. If your hosting provider creates weekly backups (say on Sundays), you can make a snapshot of the site prior to publishing any changes and save it to the online file storage site. This way you can always rollback if there is a problem. (Make sure you zip it before you store it!) Once the hosting provider executes its weekly backup, you can decide whether to delete the online storage version. Personally, I know that sometimes backups are not checked by hosting providers, and if they are not diligent about verifying saved data or replacing old tapes, you may find that the one day you need a file or two restored, that the data is corrupted.

There is a great site at http://useful.webwizards.net/wbfs.htm that lists all the web-based file storage sites currently available. Note that not all are free services. I’ve looked at a few of them (and use some of them as well), and thought it would be a good idea to mention a select few:

* Yahoo! Briefcase

If you have a Yahoo account, this is a great free service at http://briefcase.yahoo.com. You get 30MB for free. You can share these files with others by designating which Yahoo users can see your files. They even have Yahoo! Drive client that lets you access your files right from your desktop. You can get more space for a small fee of about $2 per month.

* X-Burn

This is a great service; they are at http://www.xburn.com/index.html. You can have any files off your hard drive burned to CD and shipped to you for a total cost of $5.95! They will even back up your website directly from the Internet and send it to you on CD. This is a great deal for those who don’t yet have a CD burner.

* BraveNet File Storage

Bravenet.com offers a lot of great FREE services, and if you have an eBusiness, you should sign up now! One of the things they offer is 100MB of file hosting (more than any other service), which can be used to store files as a backup, or as a web presence. Plus a ton of great webmaster stuff. You have to register, but it's free.

The good news is that most programs offer a free download and you can actually see if your files are recoverable at no cost. Personally I use a program called Data Recovery Pro to recover my files if I ever manage to accidentally delete anything of my hard drive, iPod, memory card, usb card etc. It really is some great software to have if you are a regular PC user, as all of us have faced situations when we desperately need to get back a deleted file.

The Process of Disk Data Recovery

2009-07-09T06:06:00.000-07:00

The Process of Disk Data Recovery
By Mike Marciano

Data recovery is an enormous and growing field. Charges for saving information from a crashed disk can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars and barely ever has any guarantees. However, as more and more information goes digital, the field continues to grow, in both quantity supplied and demanded.
The easiest form of data recovery is to back up on a regular basis. If a user does that, they won't have to worry about expensive data recovery techniques that may or may not work. There are a number of ways to do this. One is using RAID, or Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, which is a form of getting more out of a hard drive by using multiple disks. RAID 0, for example, copies all data to both of two disks, which means that if one disk gets damaged, the other disk will still contain all of the data. This increases data write time but decreases data read time. Other forms of securing data include keeping it all on a separate disk from the operating system, thereby preventing the operating system from accidentally corrupting it, disk imaging, and similar means.
Once a disk does crash, however, a user may still need to salvage some data using various means of disk data recovery. How this works will be based on whether the problem lies in software damage or if the disk was physically damaged. Typically physical damage will be harder. If the problem lies with software the data can probably be fairly easily recovered by connecting the victim hard drive to another computer, which may allow data recovery. However, in certain situations, the problem may be worse but still software-related, such as logical damage on the file system level. This would require consistency checking or data carving, normally by using bootable recovery software. This is normally a time consuming process that may or may not yield results.
Physical damage is more straightforward to recover than logical damage. The first attempt is normally to try to repair the hard drive, possibly by substituting parts from a good hard drive into the bad hard drive. This is fairly easy to predict the results and whether or not it can be successful, and won't take that much time if possible. If it is successful the damaged hard drive can simply be connected to a computer and the missing data read. Unfortunately, as solid-state drives become more prevalent, this form of data recovery is getting more difficult.

What is a Runtime Error?

2009-06-30T06:09:00.000-07:00

What is a Runtime Error?

You must have encountered these runtime errors many a times. This error is shown by the message that pops up on your screen. This message will tell you about the code that is not working and the possible solutions to runtime error. Before this message appears on your computer, processing speed of the computer becomes relatively slow. When you will close the message that has come up then mostly the program that caused the error message will stop functioning and shut down or it might freeze. In some of the programs the system might restart automatically. There are many a reasons for this error message. One could be that many applications are running concurrently so the memory might have been used by other programs. There could be a bug or problem in the software or it could also be due to the computer viruses. Another major reason could be the issues between the Terminate and Stay Resident program and the other programs. If this is the reason then you could press the Alt+Ctrl+Del and then open the task manager. In task manger, simply use the end task option. If this problem is quite persistent and occurs regularly then you should go the other way around. Visit the website of the software, locate the required updates and patches thereafter download and install them. This might help and if the problem stays then uninstall that program. Check if reinstalling with the latest version helps solve the problem. It is also quite possible that the error might have been caused by the memory problems. If you are running heavy applications then for that software the minimum required memory might not be available leading to the hanging up of that software. To resolve it call the vendor/manufacturer of your computer and get the assessment on what up gradation is required. Also, check out for the various viruses that might be causing the program to slowdown or hang up. Use the antivirus systems to remove these viruses.

Although the major use of these passwords is to help the testers in the testing and maintenance phase but still they can be used by you if you have forgotten your BIOS password. Although you can find the passwords on internet on various forums but still you will need to check whether they are valid as it is a common practice that the manufacturers change these passwords from time to time. Some of the passwords for AMI BIOS’s are A.M.I., PASSWORD, CONDO AND HEWITT RAND. For Award BIOS these backdoor passwords are AWARD PW, TTPTHA, pint, condo, CONCAT, ALLY, ALLy, 01322222, 595595. Similarly for phoenix BIOS’s these would be BIOS, phoenix, CMOS and PHOENIX. For Compaq BIOS the password is Compaq, for Epox it is central, for Dell it is Dell, for Siemens it is SKY_FOX. Other than these backdoor passwords you can also make use of the softwares that are available on the internet. These softwares might have been designed only for specific BIOS’s so might not work on all the BIOS’s. If it is possible for you and you know how to do then these BIOS passwords can also be set from the hardware. If nothing works then call the vendor and make use of the solutions provided by the vendor for resetting the BIOS password.

DDR:-Different Types of DDR Memory

2009-06-29T05:25:00.000-07:00

It is very trouble-free to become baffled with the unusual types of RAM that will or will not scuttle on the unlike types of motherboards that support Intel or AMD processors. People in the computer industry universally use the term "memory" to refer to RAM (Random Access Memory). As your processor cranks on your game, it uses RAM to store some of the data needed to make your game work. While all forms of memory work together, RAM is considered the main memory since most data, regardless of its source, is stored in RAM before it is registered in any other storage device. The majority people are forecast on buy a pc will seem for definite stuff. Independently of those stuff is the sum of reminiscence/RAM that fitted within a pc.Superior the quantity of DDR Memory, the enhanced the pc will toil. What a bunch of public don't be familiar with is the kind of memory which goes with a pc which will be able to make a huge differentiation in the working and potential ability to elevate that computer system. The motherboard also tells a bundle about the memory of the pc. The chipset which works with together the CPU and the memory is well thought-out to work with exact memory forms, whereas chipset may able to carry a CPU like the Intel Core 2 Duo, it hold up memory put the speed of 533MHz.as well, these chipsets are usually planned to switch a small number of words with reminiscence up to a exact dimension. This joined with motherboard will tell the utmost quantity of memory which a system can hold. If system has two slots, then the utmost would be four gigabytes of RAM which has a smaller amount than a part board which could support four modules ensuing in eight gigabytes RAM. There are different types of memory in the marketplace, mainly the most common types which are used in systems are: - DDR, DDR 2 DRAM and DDR 3. DDR memory is planned to task at 2 operations per timepiece cycle. This doubles the pace of the memory in excess of older memory modules. This memory form have phased in favor of the far above the ground clock DDR2 standard. DDR3 is the newest side of reminiscence to be out and once again provides speed quicker than of DDR2. It is rare but will prone add more reception over the period timepieces increase require the faster memory. Check your operating system and application programs. Often they will have a printed "Minimum" and "Recommended" memory listing somewhere on the package or in the manual. Find the highest number out of "Recommended" section and try to plan on having this much or more memory by the time you are done upgrading your system memory. The memory module sizes and what already exists in the system. Computer memory is extremely important to computer operation. In general the more RAM a computer has the faster the computer operates.

Hard Disk Failure and Data Recovery

2009-06-28T03:27:00.000-07:00

Hard Disk: An IntroductionHard disk is a non-volatile data storage device that stores electronic data on a magnetic surface layered onto hard disk platters. Word “Hard” is use to differentiate it from a soft, or floppy disk. Hard disks hold more data and can store from 10 to more than 100 gigabytes, whereas most floppies have a maximum storage capacity of 1.4 megabytes and in addition are faster too.Normally term hard disk is much familiar with computers only but it is widely used as network attached storage for large volume storage. Furthermore, appliance of hard disk drives spread out to video recorders, audio players, digital organizers, digital cameras, and even in latest cellular telephones.Reynold Johnson invented the first hard disk in 1955 for IBM 305 computer with fifty 24 inch platters and total capacity of five million characters, and in 1956 - first commercial hard disk was launched with 5 megabyte capacity, the IBM 350 RAMAC disk drive.Within time frame of 50 years and rapid progress in technical enhancement, we have now reached to latest 2006 - First 750 GB hard drive from (Seagate) and First 200 GB 2.5" Hard Drive utilizing Perpendicular recording (Toshiba). Heart of hard disk consists of four basic components:The Platters: Platters are the actual disks inside the drive that store the magnetized data. Conventional platters are made of a light aluminum alloy and coated with magnetize-able material but latest technology uses glass or ceramic platters as they are thinner and also heat resisting. Most drives have at least two platters and the larger the storage capacity of the drive, the more platters there are.The Spindle Motor: Hard disk drive consists of a spindle on which the platters spin at a constant RPM. Moving along and between the platters on a common arm are read-write heads. The platters in a drive are divided by disk spacers and are clamped to a revolving spindle that turns all the platters in a uniform motion. The spindle motor is built right into the spindle and rotates the platters at a constant set rate ranging from 3,600 to 7,200 RPM.The Read/Write Heads: Read/write heads read and write data to the platters, and each head is fixed to a single actuator shaft so that all the heads move in harmony. Typically, only one of the heads is active at a time either reading or writing data. When not in use, the heads are inactive, but when in motion the spinning of the platters generate air pressure that lifts the heads off the platters. The space between the platter and the head is so minute that even one dust particle or a fingerprint could disable the spin. When the platters cease spinning the heads come to rest, at a preset position on the heads, called the landing zone.The Head Actuator: All the heads are attached to a single head actuator arm, which moves the heads around the platters. The Actuator arm moves the heads on an arc across the platters as they spin, allowing each head to access almost the entire surface of the platter. Contemporary hard drives use a voice coil actuator, which controls the movement of a coil toward or away from a permanent magnet based on the amount of current flowing through it. Fundamental structures of all hard disk are same, and are composed of the same physical features, but their performance depends on the quality of their inner components. Hard Disk Failure: Hard Disk Failure occurs when a hard disk drive malfunctions and the accumulate data cannot be accessed. It may happen in the course of normal operation due to an internal or external factor. Disk failure varies and the most common is “Head Crash” where the internal read and write head of a device touches a platter or magnetic storage surface often grinding away the magnetic surface. Head hover just micrometers from the platters plane which makes such collision the common one.This sort of crash usually invites severe data loss and unprofessional data recovery attempts results further damage to the remaining data.Hard drive also includes other controller electronics i.e., semiconductors, valves or electronic circuits, and major components such as Platters, Spindle Motor and Head Actuator. Failure of any these devices may cause a hard disk failure.Factors causes disk failure are numerous, yet most common are power surges, voltage fluctuations, electronic malfunction, physical shock, wear and tear, corrosion, exposure to high magnetic waves, sharp impact, high temperature exposure etc.The phenomena of hard disk failure is raising higher and higher; as to increase the read and write speed, today we have latest hard disk rotating amazingly faster and this immense revolving speed generates massive centrifugal force, a single adverse cause in the course of normal operation can cause severe hard disk failure.Hard Disk Data Recovery:Hard disk data recovery is the process of recovering the trapped data from the damage hard disk device, when it can not be accessed in normal circumstance. Several Techniques are used to retrieving data from damaged hard disk and techniques vary accordingly. It can be done by moving disk drive to a working CPU, or may have to open the disk drive and replace parts such as read/write heads, arms and chips and sometime the platters have to be removed and placed into another drive.Physical damage can not be repaired by the general users, as it requires clean and dust free lab environment, in addition proper hardware and technical expertise; where under microscopic examination with proper tool and techniques, the damage drive is put on to observation for data salvaging.In case of worse happening, do consult Data Recovery Service for saving your important data trapped within the damage device.

Data Recovery Services in Case of Bad SMART Status of Hard Drive

2009-06-28T03:20:00.001-07:00

Physical hard drive crash or failure denotes a condition, in which your system loses access to the stored data and information. Such situation generally occurs in case of disk malfunction. The computer hard drive contains several electrical and mechanical moving components. In case if these components get damaged due to any external or internal factor, such as high intensity magnetic waves, temperature, water, file or sharp impact. Nevertheless the cause of drive malfunction, the ultimate result is always data loss. At this point, you are required to opt for Data Recovery Services to get your mission critical and precious data back. The hard drive failure is not always instant. Most modern drive comes with a sophisticated technology, known as SMART (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). This is a pre-crash warning system, which monitors your hard drive internally on the basis of predefined parameters and creates reports and warning, if it finds any fault. Such parameters are sometimes referred as the hard drive reliability factors, like temperature, bad sectors etc. If you hard drive is predictable to fail, SMART might give you the following error message:“Primary master hard disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad, backup and replace”Technical side of thingsBy the master hard disk, the error message refers to the one that is being used primarily by your computer to store data.
