In this day and age where technology has greatly advanced, laptops have become so common. It is easy to purchase a laptop for as little as $250 or even less. This is because people want to carry out their business as they move from place to place. Even young children in elementary school know how to use laptops. As important as they are, there are risks that come with these laptops.
Laptop recovery experts have found that over 2000 laptops are stolen or lost everyday in this world. This eventually means that there are 2000 people everyday who lose their data through theft. For example, it is very common to find laptop users with their laptops in cyber cafés. If they leave them and, say, they go to attend to a nature call, they may come back and find it is not there. Someone has stolen. In addition to this, there are those people who are mugged and even have their houses broken into. These are some of the ways that people can lose their data through laptops.
Another thing about laptops is that they are portable. This is actually good because you can work on it while you travel or do other things. But with this portability there are risks of it dropping and crashing physically. You could even be walking with your laptop on the streets when all of a sudden, the strap of the bag carrying it breaks and the laptop drops. That would be a disastrous thing to happen. But there are many people who have dropped their laptops. The most important question they ask is: Can I still get my files?
Good news! Yes you can!! (Sounds like a famous slogan). Even if you have dropped your laptop severally but you have not physically tampered with the hard disk, your file can be recovered. All you need to do is get in touch with data recovery experts who will have your data recovered. All they need is your hard drive.

Why is your computer freezing?
Just like any other man made machine, computers are bound to malfunction at some point. One of the common malfunctions of the computer is freezing. Freezing (or hanging) occurs when you issue an instruction to the computer and nothing happens. In some cases, when you attempt to move the mouse it doesn’t scroll on the screen. If you have experienced this before or you are currently experiencing it, then one of the following has occurred:
RAM and Hard disk space: Lack of regular maintenance of the computer is what leads to computer freezing and crashing. If the computer is overloaded with information, then there is a high chance that it might freeze. Computer technicians have found out that the RAM should have at least 25% free memory left. This also applies to the hard disk space. If this is not so, very little work can be done as the computer would be extremely slow in processing your information. It is also necessary to perform defragmenting of the hard disk to utilize as much space as possible.
Installing new hardware: It is possible to follow the events that led to the freezing of the computer. If you happened to install new hardware and the computer began freezing then it clearly indicates that the hardware was not properly installed or it is not compatible with your computer. To solve this problem, one may uninstall the suspected hardware and reboot the PC. There is some hardware that needs drivers. It could be possible that you have to install the drivers after installing the hardware. It may or may not work but it will reduce the chances of computer screen freezes.
Installing new software: Just as in the case above, the same situation applies here. There is some software that is really large and takes quite a lot of disk space. If the PC started freezing immediately after installing new software, then it means it is the software that is slowing the system down. One may opt to uninstall it.

What causes your computer to lose files?
As you use your computer, beware that you can lose your files at any time. Here are some situations and things that may cause you to lose your file:
Human error: As a human being, you are bound to make a few mistakes here and there. One way this can occur is through accidental erasure. For example, let’s say you are working on a certain document and you accidentally hit the delete button. When a dialog box appears, you just click ‘OK’ and continue. You may have not noticed but probably you might have deleted a certain folder. It was done mistakenly and you probably did not know what was going on. Such situations happen and in this way you may end up losing your files.
Another way human beings can cause loss of files on your computer is by allowing other people to use your machine without access. They may come and delete some of your files, either deliberately or accidentally.
Viruses: Viruses are programs written to bring about corruption of files, especially files stored in storage devices like hard disks and USB flash disks. Viruses can be gotten from the internet i.e. by accessing certain sites (especially porn sites), downloading certain free software, email attachments and also from external storage devices that are introduced to your computer. The virus will infect your computer files and thus will become corrupted. This is why in most cases when you look for certain files, they cannot be accessed. They are in a corruptible form. The worst part about computer viruses is that, like their medical counterparts, they replicate to infect many files.
This is one of the reasons why when purchasing a new computer, it is recommended to install anti-virus software to protect your computer against viruses.

Methods of Database Recovery
Any information belonging to an organization is usually stored in form of a database. In case information is lost in the database, it would have major negative effects on the organization. Data recovery analysts have found out that it can cost you upto $8000 per MB to recreate client information. This is because of various costs that may be incurred such as overtime pay of re-entry, transportation costs for the client and also communication costs.
To help reduce on these costs, it would be good to employ database recovery services. It would cost a few thousand dollars but is way cheaper than the cost of recreating data. In case of data loss, some steps have to be taken in order to assure safe backup and full recovery of all lost information is done.
The first important step is to choose the most appropriate database recovery. At the moment, there are three methods of database recovery.
The first one is the simple database recovery. This method is used when a database administrator decides that the transactions are not as important as the main data of the database. In this case, one only needs to save the main data and ignore the transactions that had occurred. The data can be recreated in a short time and may not necessarily need experts to do it. But it is good not to take a chance because if one is not careful, you may end up losing all the information in the database.
The second and the third method include full recovery and bulk-logged recovery. In these two methods, one has to protect both the data in the database and all the necessary transactions relating to the database. These 2 methods are more technical and sophisticated. The have to be done with experienced technicians such as data recovery specialists. In addition, the above methods need more system requirements and disk drive space. The data recovery experts will come with the necessary software to carry out recovery. This will all depend on the scope of failure experienced. If the failure is major, then they will have to take your server and perform the recovery in their labs. Otherwise, they will just run the recovery software and will be able to recover your data.

Data Safety for your Database
Most large organizations have databases that need to be maintained well. Some of them even have database administrators who are in charge of making sure that the database is working efficiently.
But in many organizations, PC users may not necessarily know how to use the database. One thing they may not know is that if someone abruptly disconnects from a database, a” corruption flag” may be set. This means that the database is in a corrupt state. Once in such a state anyone attempting to access the database will receive a message that the database has been corrupted and needs to be repaired. If the database is not repaired in good time, it will bring about loss in productivity as well as frustration from users. To keep your database safe, you should consider one of the following:
Exit the database correctly. After finishing your work on the database, always exit it in the correct way. Using some shortcuts such as Ctrl+Alt+Del can bring about major problems on ones database. It is a good practice to exit the database the correct way.
Split the database so that you can make work easier. Splitting here involves separating the “front-end” parts from the “back-end” parts. The front end parts include forms, reports and queries while the back-end parts contain only the data tables. A copy of the front end is placed in each user’s computer while the back-end is placed in a shared folder within a network. This means that the data tables don’t have to be moving from user to user because it is in this movement that data tables become corrupt hence loss of data. If one may be experiencing corruption problems with a database on a network, splitting the database is important to stop this.
Lastly, after finishing with a database ensure that you close all the open connections. Leaving open connections will allow more opportunities for ‘unwanted’ dropped connections i.e. automatic closing of the connection.

Data Recovery Services - Choose wisely
When looking for reliable data recovery services there are some things you should look for. Not all data recovery experts are genuine. There are others who will mess up your hard drive and will then tell you that the data is unrecoverable. To avoid such situations you ca check the data recovery services company for the following:
Get to know the methods and technology being used to perform the recovery services. Making a visit to the premises where the recovery is done would be good so that you can see some of the tools, technology and software being used. You can be able to judge whether the technology is up-to-date or outdated. Some things you may ask are: Is the equipment being used a reflection current technology? What is the general environmental condition of the data recovery area? It would also be good to inquire on the methods to be used to recover data and some small explanation. This will help in making proper judgments about the company.
It would be good to get some general procedures and background information on data recovery. Have one of the experts give a general explanation of the process. Most companies should give that description but there are some corporate secrets that they may never tell. Ask as many questions as possible to gauge the competency of the recovery experts. Having some insight on what takes place during the data recovery process may help one judge the competencies of a certain data recovery company.
Also, check for qualifications. These qualifications include license certificates, certificates of operation and also tax compliant certificates. This helps in getting to know the genuineness of the company e.g. it would be good to know the minimum standards a company should have attained before having be fully declared as a data recovery company.

Data Recovery - Avoid this and recover your data
After losing some very important information on your computer, laptop or even the server of your organization, there are some things that should be avoided completely. They are as follows:
In case you do not know what to do at all after you have lost the deleted files, DO NOT PANIC!! Panic is one of the greatest enemies of data recovery. In extreme cases, panic can cause company closure. This is how: if someone panics and begins telling everybody in the organization that data has been lost, word may leak out and clients may get to know about it and then the reputation of company will be spoilt. After data loss the best thing is to report to the relevant authorities like the ICT manager who should eventually consult a data recovery company so that they give the necessary guidance on how to try and retrieve your data before doing a whole lot of damage. They have the necessary skill and technology needed for recovering your data.
Another thing you should never do after noticing that your data is missing is to run and install software. This can be very detrimental to your data because it may lead to permanent data loss. Since you don’t know what the specific problem is, do not install or even save any programs, files or software. Storing more information in a hard drive that is failing may cause overwriting of information on it and this is as good as permanently deleting your data.
In relation to this, you should avoid running utility programs. If it is really necessary for you to do so then make sure you have an IT specialist with you because if you don’t run them correctly, you could lose your data permanently. Some of these utility programs are like scandisk, chckdisk and Norton disk doctor. They should be run with extreme caution.
But if your hard drive has already failed you can get affordable data recovery services.

Bad Hard Drives and PC Freezing
Many people are unaware of the importance of the hard drives to their PCs. The hard drive stores their most important information and it would be good to make sure that it is in good condition. The question posed then would be: How does one know when they have a bad hard drive?
One sign of a bad hard drive is if your computer system keeps rebooting. When you startup your computer and during the boot process it restarts or reboots on its own then that is an indicator that you have a bad hard drive. This is mainly caused by the presence of viruses in the boot files i.e. the boot files have been corrupted in such a way that when they are executed by the system, they sequence of booting is repeated over and over again. The virus corrupts the boot files by causing them to form a loop and this is why the computer will keep rebooting.
Another indication of a bad hard drive is when you experience many error messages. Some of the error messages you will experience are: ‘Missing Hard Drive’, ‘Operating System Missing’, ‘Hard Drive Failure’ and any other error message related to the hard drive. These error messages come about as a result of corruption of files in the hard drive, again caused by the presence of viruses.
PC freezing is another indicator of bad hard drives. If your computer freezes often, then the hard drive could be having problems. Freezing mainly occurs when the system takes long or is unable to locate certain files that may be needed to carry out certain processing. As stated a number of times in this article, one of the causes of freezing is viruses. This is because once corruption of files occurs, when the system locates them, it will take long to interpret them. The other cause of freezing is lack of hard drive space. If your hard drive is overloaded with a lot of information, locating some files will take long and may lead the computer to freeze.

How to Secure Your Laptop From Being Stolen
I asked my Boss if I could use his laptop for a day or two. I never got an answer but I clearly understood I was really calling for trouble with the wrong person.
Laptop means a lot to those who use them. They store all the information that is directly connected to the user and in most case the information rotates around their lives. It may be business information, family records or security keys for high profile information.
Laptops can be traced by the use of a chip which can be placed inside the laptop. The chip can be fixed in a position that wouldn’t be located to avoid any interference. On the PC is the tracking software that is responsible to send information regarding the IP address of the person using the laptop, the information of the laptop such as the OS its using, the registered user name, the serial number such as the one displayed when settings are enabled in the BIOS.
This information will be sent to the e-mail address that was registered in the tracking software. A sms is also sent to your cell phone displaying all the information required to identify your laptop and how to get to it.
By using this information it makes the search much easier to reduce the search radius for the lost or stolen laptop.
It is important to note that, by making use of the security features such as passwords on the laptop system, the information could be still be intact as the person having the lost laptop would have to get means to by pass the security before accessing any information within the laptop.
This would win time on the recovery team to get to the IP location before any damage is done to the data. Tracking technologies have come up with different ways of tracking laptops. A tracking technology like Ujanja Laptop tracking system is easy to setup on your laptop and has a high success rate.

Affordable Data Recovery Services are in Kenya
Have you ever wondered what to do after losing your laptop or computer data? Many computer users are not aware that after a computer crash their data can be recovered as long as they inform the relevant people immediately. The relevant people here are the data recovery specialists.
These are people well trained in recovering your data. Through their experiences, they can be able to deal with a wide variety of recovery problems. Some of the types of data recovery they do include hard drive recovery, laptop recovery, database recovery, email recovery, tape recovery, USB flash drive recovery, short message service (also known as SMS) recovery, desktop recovery, RAID recovery, server recovery and many other types of recovery that deal with data.
After years of training and gaining the necessary experience, data recovery experts are able to deal with a wide variety of problems. When gaining experience, they go through various set backs. From these set backs, they are able to learn from the mistakes made and also handle various kinds of difficulties in recovery. It has been quoted that ‘you have to go through several set backs before you gain success.’ Data recovery specialists have been through this so when they begin working on your hard drive to recover your information, they have most probably faced such a situation before and will know how to recover your data.
Just a brief on what happens: after you lose your data, you can send it to the recovery expert. They will carry out a diagnosis and give you the results of the damage and the amount of data can be recovered. The recovery process will then begin and after, say 2-3 days, your data will be recovered. For affordable and high standard recovery you can send your hard drive to an expert in Kenya because in other countries it could be expensive.

Data Recovery Kenya - Avoid this and recover your data
After losing some very important information on your computer, laptop or even the server of your organization, there are some things that should be avoided completely. They are as follows:
In case you do not know what to do at all after you have lost the deleted files, DO NOT PANIC!! Panic is one of the greatest enemies of data recovery. In extreme cases, panic can cause company closure. This is how: if someone panics and begins telling everybody in the organization that data has been lost, word may leak out and clients may get to know about it and then the reputation of company will be spoilt. After data loss the best thing is to report to the relevant authorities like the ICT manager. The he/she should then contact a reputable data recovery company in Kenya so that they give the necessary guidance on how to try and retrieve your data before doing a whole lot of damage. They have the necessary skill and technology needed for recovering your data.
Another thing you should never do after noticing that your data is missing is to run and install software. This can be very detrimental to your data because it may lead to permanent data loss. Since you don’t know what the specific problem is, do not install or even save any programs, files or software. Storing more information in a hard drive that is failing may cause overwriting of information on it and this is as good as permanently deleting your data.
In relation to this, you should avoid running utility programs. If it is really necessary for you to do so then make sure you have an IT specialist with you because if you don’t run them correctly, you could lose your data permanently. Some of these utility programs are like scandisk, chckdisk and Norton disk doctor. They should be run with extreme caution.

Data Recovery Kenya - Clean Rooms
This is a room where scientific research is carried out and has low levels of pollution such as dust, microbes and other forms of vapor. It usually has controlled level of contamination. One of the main aims of a clean room is to create an almost clean atmosphere within it where repairs on certain machines and mechanical devices are done.
Such rooms are very important as they are used for handling and repairing manufactured objects like semi-conductor, hard disk drives, sterile medical devices, delicate electronic devices like silicon chips and also optics. All these objects are sensitive to microscopic contamination e.g. an indivisible spec of dust on a hard disk drive can cause all the information within it to be lost permanently. The platters of the hard disk are very sensitive and delicate. This is why when one is not able to recover data from their disk, they are advised to contact a data recovery company that has a clean-room in their lab where the hard disk can be opened and the data retrieved. Opening up the hard disk individually will cost you more.
The sizes of the clean-rooms vary from as big as of a football field to as small as a bedroom wardrobe. It all depends on the amount of activity that goes on in the room.
One of the biggest contaminants of the clean-rooms are the people who work in their. In well established clean-rooms, there is special clothing that has to be worn to prevent contamination. Clean rooms used for data recovery could take a room that is 2x3 metres.
Clean rooms have different classifications and this is done along the lines of the level of air cleanliness they are able to achieve. A common term in the technological age is “clean-room recovery” which refers to repair of data storage devices that cannot be recovered by data recovery software. It is a term that is mostly involved with hard disk recovery, data recovery and data forensics.

Data Recovery Services in Kenya - Choose wisely
When looking for reliable data recovery services in Kenya there are some things you should look for. Not all recovery experts are genuine. There are others who will mess up your hard drive and will then tell you that the data is unrecoverable. To avoid such situations you can check the recovery company for the following:
Get to know the methods and technology being used to perform the recovery services. Making a visit to the premises where the recovery is done would be good so that you can see some of the tools, technology and software being used. You can be able to judge whether the technology is up-to-date or outdated. Some things you may ask are: Is the equipment being used a reflection current technology? What is the general environmental condition of the data recovery area? It would also be good to inquire on the methods to be used to recover data and some small explanation. This will help in making proper judgments about the company.
It would be good to get some general procedures and background information on data recovery. Have one of the experts give a general explanation of the process. Most companies should give that description but there are some corporate secrets that they may never tell. Ask as many questions as possible to gauge the competency of the recovery experts. Having some insight on what takes place during the data recovery process may help one judge the competencies of a certain data recovery company.
In Kenya, it has been found out that their many data recovery companies that do not comply with legal requirements of doing business. This is why checking for qualification is important. These qualifications include license certificates, certificates of operation and also tax compliant certificates. This helps in getting to know the genuineness of the company e.g. it would be good to know the minimum standards a company should have attained before having be fully declared as a data recovery company.

What if You Loose Your Laptop?
Laptops are very sensitive as they contain the data the may be known only by the bearer. This can raise a great question to what would you do if your laptop was stolen or you happen to leave it behind or dropped it from a high point.
The information contained in the laptop is confidential and more so very valuable. Such information is very critical to back up every time. You may use online back up services or search for a trust worthy data handling company that would provide you with a suitable and secure way of backing up your data.
To enhance security in case your laptop got lost, its important to have the system asking for a log in password every time you start the system. In such a case any user who tries to log in will have no access to your data with out your consent.
Getting software from a data expert for encrypting your files can also enhance security in that your files will be difficult to read even if they fell in the wrong hands. Encrypting data can avoid your secrets like account numbers, contacts and high profile information from been read even if you’re sending information through the internet.
Its is also possible to attach radar devices that can locate your laptop at any point, but the most convenient way is tracking it and getting the IP at the any location where ever the user may be using the internet.

Hard Disk Crashes Every 15 Minutes
Computer can crash even when your browsing the internet, or to be more precise when your reading this article. Computer crashes come as a result of many reasons other been major or minor.
Computer registry having errors can lead to a crash. The registry is like the nervous system of the system. It should be regularly cleaned using software like “registry clean up” and many other. This is to get rid of addresses of programs that were long time uninstalled and any to other unused registered scripts.
Users who switch of systems directly from the start button pose there machine to greater chances of computer crashes. Crash is the possible as the system sends processes to the CPU but suddenly power cut off, the process are left unattended creating errors. These errors are the cause of the crashes that happen every 15 minutes some where in the world.
Software errors like installing the wrong drivers for a hardware device may lead to interrupted integration of the device leading to system halt. The computer stores its errors which are viewable through the event log. When errors pile up and little action is done the systems stands a chance to get a crash.
Viruses cause file corruption, file damage. They also create files that duplicate themselves. If these viruses happen to enter the bios system, they can lead to computer crashes.
What ever the case might be you’re always vulnerable to loss data once a crash occurs. Data recovery experts can help in recovering your data and fixing any form of damage that the device may have incurred

Possible Signs of a Crash
Hard disk drives rotate at a very high speed, 3600 to 15000 RPM. This is a very high speed and in reality it would cause a real crash. Data stored for months, years or even decades can be at great stack if the crash sign are not adhered to.
Have you ever come across this sign on your computer before, GPF? It stands for general protection fault error. It is more like an order forcing you to reboot your computer to complete utter hardware meltdown that can not be recovered from at all. This is more like a forced crash.
How about electric surges? They come without warning, it happens that your hard drive can be affect more so you motherboard. This can result to an instance loss of as you might not have saved your work at all. Electric surges can also damage your drive to a point where data recovery becomes a project rather than an easy task. The power surge can not only be initiated from outside the working parameters but also within. Through human error, stumbling on power cables can cause disconnection of computer power cables as well. In a point where main power switches are turned on without warning after a power loss can cause a huge power up surge causing faults on the circuit boards of the system.
Viruses spare no one in the web. They flock in using precious bandwidth and affecting all the system resources. Hard disk with information can be prime targets as data can be erased as they execute themselves. More so logging of non authorized users on the system can also cause deletion of files or even formatting of your hard disk

My Computer is Too Slow
Computer working at a slow pace can cause annoyance and delay in completing our work.
Software applications that are installed in your computer are registered in the registry. In this registry is where all notes of what is happening in the computer takes place. It there are any changes in the registry, the computer functioning will be affected causing the system to operate irregularly like shutting down automatically, displaying a blue screen during start up, or freezing when you are in the middle of your work.
On uninstalling programs from your computer, the addresses are always left in the registry, as they compile up the normal function of the computer is affected.
Viruses are also big issues as far as the working speed of the computer is concerned. Viruses occupy the file space. On execution the viruses use the CPU memory causing the computer to slow down.
The hard disk can also cause the computer to perform slowly. If the hard disk happens to have mechanical problems it will be causing the computer to hang as more time is used to for the heads to read from the magnetic plates.
As technology is advancing and new software is been supplied to the market. The old systems are failing to adapt the new software. The hardware used can not support the new software. This means the old machines will have to operate on the old software which is slow and has less potential.

Which disk drive Is most likely to Crash?
Any disk drive is likely to crash. Although disk vary in output and the ability to with stand high temperatures, disk used in Servers and laptops have a higher crash rate compared to other forms of storage devices used.
Laptops are portable; they can be carried around be it in the filed in case of a field work. Laptops are even used in recording scientific information on mountain tops where the temperatures are very low.
Mostly, mishandling of laptops has been the greatest reason for laptop failure.
Dropping can lead to breakage of components and the platter disks that store information.
Laptops are a spilled over with drinks causing elector circuit shocks. This contributes to physical failure which can lead to loss of data in the long run.
Using the wrong software on laptops causes script errors as most user will tend to use unidentified software. These bad sectors created on the disk cause data loss as data is not written nor is it possible to reads from the sector.
In the case of servers, they work long hours; others even work all the year round.
The constant working of the drives causes wear out as the heads and the magnetic
Platters rotate. High temperatures also cause parts to wear out as they expand and contract on cooling.
Unqualified handlers of severs can lead to serious mistakes than can result to massive loss of information.
The installation of software or wrong drivers can result in deletion of the partitions causing a great loss of information.
What ever the condition may be, the services offered by data recover companies
are able to reconstruct information to its original form.

Reasons why your Hard Drive Crashes
Many computer users may be wondering why their hard drives crash. Here are some reasons why this happens:
Lack of maintenance and ignorance: You hard drive needs to be maintained regularly. In general, your computer needs regular maintenance. If you fail to carry out regular maintenance to any machine, it is bound to fail. The same applies for hard drives. One of the things that people ignore about their hard drives is an aspect called disk defragmenting. Disk defragmenting, in lay man’s language, is putting hard drive addresses to be contiguous i.e. the addresses follow each other in such a way that accessing files would be faster and easier. When files are stored on various sectors in various addresses, accessing them would be difficult leading to freezing and hard drive crashes.
Another way ignorance is displayed is when there are certain sounds coming from the hard drive. It is always advised to pay attention to your hard drive, especially for sounds that may be coming from it. Sometimes there could be click sounds, whirring and also buzzing sounds emanating from it. This means that your hard drive could be physically damaged and there are some internal components that could be broken and when the hard drive is running, the components could be touching each other. Just pay attention to your hard drive and avoid crashes.
Another reason why your hard drive could crash could be because of viruses. Viruses are programs that corrupt files in the hard disk. Computer viruses are similar to medical viruses where they replicate themselves. This more viruses mean more infection of files in the hard drive and thus the hard drive may crash. There will be massive loss of information. It is always recommended that whenever you purchase a new machine, one of the first things to install is anti-virus software to protect against infections.

Laptop Overheating causing Hard Drive Click sounds
It has been found out by many laptop users that laptops do overheat. Just like other machines like the desktop, if they are not used properly and there is no regular maintenance they may overheat.
There is this interesting scenario where if you use your laptop when tilted at certain angle, the laptop will overheat and will go off. When you use it when placed on flat surface it will not overheat. The explanation behind this is because air currents usually flow perpendicular to the fun and there is a large surface area for the currents to enter the fun. When you tilt your laptop less surface area is exposed and the laptop may overheat and switch off.
The main cause of this overheating is a faulty fan. If the fan is not working properly, then the hard drive will heat up. This is because the hard drive is electronically charged and when running emits heat that needs to be cooled by the fan. When the hard drive heats up, it will expand. This expansion may cause expansion of the internal components within it and thus, as the drive is running, some components could be touching each other consistently and cause click sounds.
If you have or are experiencing this, it would be good to backup as much data as possible. First of all, let the laptop cool. Restart it and then begin backing up your data. But if your laptop hard drive has crashed because of the overheating, you can get a data recovery expert to look at it and recover your data. All you have to do is to give them your hard drive and they will use all the necessary software, tools and technology to carry out the recovery.

Laptop Crashing and Freezing
Being portable devices, laptops are bound to crash more often as compared to desktops. They can easily get physically crashed people of its mobility. For example, you could want to show your friend something on your laptop. Instead if carrying with two hands, you use one and in the process the laptop falls and crashes. This is how laptops get physically crashed.
Another way laptops physically crash is through overheating. The main cause of this is a faulty fan. The fan is what is used to cool the hard drive. If the fan is not working properly, then the hard drive will heat up. This is because the hard drive is electronically charged and when running emits heat that needs to be cooled by the fan. Overheating of the hard drive brings about expansion of the internal components within it and thus, as the drive is running, some components could be touching each other consistently and cause click sounds.
Logically, laptops crash mainly because of corruption of information in the hard drive. Your laptop hard drive is very important and you need to take good care of it. If it happens to get damaged, then it can be said to have crashed. The main cause of this is viruses. Viruses are programs that have been created to disrupt the normal functioning of a computer by bringing about corruption of data. They change the original information into a way the system is unable to interpret.
One way to know if your laptop hard drive is failing is if freezes frequently. This is also known as hanging. When your laptop freezes and hangs a lot it means that your laptop could be crashing. Freezing occurs when the laptop takes long to get certain information for processing. This is mainly displayed by a still screen i.e. if you try moving the mouse it doesn’t move; it takes very long to load a small file etc.
Laptop crashes have become very common and people are looking for solutions.
One can backup their data regularly and perform disk defragmenting regularly. Installing anti-virus software is also advised.

How to tell when Laptop Hard Drive Fails
Many laptop users are unaware of the fact that their hard drives can fail. As a way of reminder, I would like to give some signs that your laptop hard drive is failing:
If you are losing your laptop and there is a sudden system shutdown or the laptop keeps rebooting then you could be experiencing laptop hard drive failure. This basically means that there are some system files that have been corrupted. The automatic rebooting is usually caused by a virus. This virus attacks the boot files in the system causing them to form a loop i.e. it causes the files to be run over and over again.
If you also happen to hear click sounds from your laptop then your hard drive could be failing. The sounds are most probably as a result of some of the internal components of the hard drive coming into contact with each other. As the platters revolve, the actuator arm could be touching one of the other components within the hard drive. Another reason could be that the same arm is broken and as the hard drive is running it is touching the platters or other components. This is very risky because if the read/write head touches the platters your data could be lost permanently. Therefore, advisable in such situations to contact a data recovery expert who will diagnose the problem and recover data if any has been lost.
Another way to know if your laptop hard drive is failing is if the laptop freezes and hangs a lot/ frequently. At times when one is using their PC, it comes to a sudden halt. Navigation of the mouse becomes a problem. This means that the system has hung/ frozen. Freezing of the system is an indicator that there are some bad sectors on the hard drive and the system is unable to access information it needs to open the file or to load a particular program. This can be caused by overloading of the system memory, corrupt files or having shared programs with conflicting procedural calls.

How to Save Data from Crashed Laptop
There are various ways people have recommended on how data can be saved from crashed laptops. One way that is commonly talked about is using data recovery software. This is software where you download or purchase and install it to recover your data. What many people fail to understand is that you must know the root cause of hard drive failure. Working with a failing hard disk can cause you to lose your data permanently. This means that doing your own data recovery is very risky. This software can only be used if you have lost a few small files but not your very important files. Thus, the only way for you to save data from a crashed laptop is by using data recovery services. This is safer and more accurate than the earlier methods.
Currently, laptop crashes have been on the increase. What you can do if this happens to you (or if it has already happened) you can get in touch with a data recovery expert or company. They will request ask you for your laptop hard drive. Once in their possession they will carry out an extensive diagnosis on the hard drive to identify the problem. The hard drive may experience 2 kinds of problems: physical and logical. Physical problems are situation where the hard drive is damaged physically e.g. if you drop your laptop and the hard drive gets damaged. Logical problems involve how data has been corrupted within the hard drive. This is mostly caused by power problems and viruses.
After identifying the problem, a report is given on the same detailing various problems and possible solutions. After this, the actual recovery will proceed. Your hard drive will be taken to the recovery labs where it will be analyzed well. If there is any physical damage, the necessary reconstruction will be done using the latest technology and tools. Recovery will then commence using up-to-date data recovery software.
Finally your data will be recovered and you can have it in whatever storage medium you may prefer.

Data Can be retrieved from crashed Laptop
If you have a crashing laptop it is possible for the data in it to be recovered. This can be simply done using either data recovery software or data recovery services.
If your laptop has shown signs of crashing like consistent freezing, error messages, rebooting and appearance of blue screen, then there is a high probability that it is crashing. If you have to use data recovery software to perform the recovery, you should use it with a lot of caution. You can run the software and it will recover your files. But as you do this, you risk losing your data permanently. This is because you don’t know the extent of damage that has occurred on your hard drive and thus installing and running the recovery software can have major effects. I would not advise anyone to use recovery software as you may risk losing it permanently.
What one could do is get data recovery services. This is much safer than performing your own data recovery. These services are more assured and fewer risks are involved in it. This is the people involved in this have gained the necessary skills and have adequate tools and technology for performing the recovery. Through their experiences with various hard drives, they will know what your problem is and do the necessary. All they need is your hard disk. They will request for your laptop (if you can remove the hard disk and ship it to them, it would be better) and carry a diagnosis on it. They will then send you a detailed report on what parts have been tampered with, the amount of damage and the amount of data that can be restored. Once you give them the go-ahead, they will begin the necessary recovery process and you will be able to recover your data. Simple, huh!

Common Failures With Computers
System has simple errors that can readily pile up causing more error which can be costly to repair or too late to fix.
In the system registry is where a record of all that is happening in the computer are tracked. Deleting or un installing the programs within the computer leaves addresses of these programs intact. As they compile they affect the normal performance of the system causing slow performance or constant errors on the screen.
On browsing the internet, most users download small applications which fill space in the storage device. Some of these downloaded files contain Active-X scripts which can change the normal operation of the system. This affects the computers performance, mostly the effect is reversed through reinstalling the browser.
Viruses also pose as a great threat in that they cause application to fail executing normally. The take the places of the normal files in the memory structure and execute as useful programs. With time they cause slow system performance, corrupting files and freezing the system.
Other common error are files error, this are errors that original from wrong naming system. Naming a file wrongly can lead to opening error as the file tries to use a different application to open. For example an image file can not open with a word processor application. Wrongly naming the file name and extension causes error that lead to bugs.

Disk Crashes: Is There Any Solution
I happened to visit a class where I learn t why data recovery on crashed disk is a process that can be handled with ease.
The data recovery experts have powerful soft wares that communicate to the hard disk by passing the Bios and the operating system. They are usually unable to read drives with bad sectors or even take a long time,
The software can read bad sectors instead of skipping them as it happens with the operating systems. By the use of special commands the software can regenerate the lost data.
The recovery software can handle drive errors like re powering and resetting the device when it stops reading the sectors.
The software is also capable of re-configuring drives by disabling certain functions such as SMART minimizing image timing and any other possibility of any further drive degradation
In situation where the disk is inaccessible due to damaged circuits, it is still possible to change the printed circuit board from an identical storage device and fixing it on the damaged device. This is usually done when the device is powered on so it is absolutely not recommended for any untrained person to try recovering data alone.
In a case where the cause of the crash is established and identified as a corrupt file. Available software can be used to rectify the corrupted file and installing a new operating system to clear the registry of the crashed operating system.

How Could You Tell if Computer Crashes?
A computer system is continuously advancing in all aspects. A computer is collection several different internal components. Each component is important for the computer to function normally. Of all the components, the computer’s internal components, the hard drive is the most important electronic device in the computer. Without the hard drive, the computer can not function because it is the master storage device that holds important system files, application software, and users’ data.
Though the hard drive is a trusted storage media, there are complications that come with these media of storage. Whenever a computer system crushes, most probably it is as a result of hard drive failure. The question that we ask ourselves is that, how do you tell that your computer hard drive is failing or has already failed? Well it is quite simple to tell when your computer crashes because you will simply not be able to perform any application the main problem comes when you are suspecting that your drive is about to crash. This is an important step to take because you would take some precautions and rescue your data.
Here are some hints to know if your computer system is about to crash. i) The most common sign to tell if you if your computer hard drive is about to crash is when suddenly, your computer underperforms. If it’s a laptop, the main cause could have been as a result of overheating or due to the usual computer threats such as viruses and Trojans. ii) The other sign is when you boot your computer and it displays an error messages such as “Operating System not found” or “no boot device”. iii) There are also times when the systems keeps on freezing in while you are working on a particular task. These are some of the few symptoms that are the beginning of birth pains.

Disaster Management Solutions
A disaster is an occurrence that happens unexpectedly of course not for good but for the worst. You can think of a scenario where an architect designs a mansion depending on all the skills and techniques that he or she bares. Somehow, he is absolutely convinced that the manor will last as long as possible. Meanwhile, the contractors are brought and the construction phase kicks off. Then while still in the construction process, damn it! Some happens. The whole structure comes down suddenly! This is actually a fatal disaster because in one way or the other, there will be death cases.
This is not different from the technology that we use day to day. The computers technology is of great help but there are certain important precautions that we have to take. Remember what ever organization either profit making or non profit making, must have some important information that it relies on to run its daily activities. A good example is a database system. In every organization, there must be a database of some type where information is stored.
When starting a business or any organization of any form, it is advisable to design your system in such a way that you structure out a data disaster committee. This group should have some unique tasks of reducing chances of data loss disaster. This can be done by setting up a data disaster recovery plan. This is a plan that spells out some of the things that can be done to avoid total loss. Some of the basic things that are found within the plan are issues dealing with backup of data, physical security, safety precautions to taken, or even some form of training that can be employed to reduce data loss when disaster strikes. Sine we are trying to deal with ways of dealing with data loss, the form in which backups will be kept will be of great concern as we would like to salvage as much information as possible.

Remember what ever organization either profit making or non profit making, must have some important information that it relies on to run its daily activities. A good example is a database system. In every organization, there must be a database of some type where information is stored.
When starting a business or any organization of any form, it is advisable to design your system in such a way that you structure out a data disaster committee. This group should have some unique tasks of reducing chances of data loss disaster. This can be done by setting up a data disaster recovery plan. This is a plan that spells out some of the things that can be done to avoid total loss. Some of the basic things that are found within the plan are issues dealing with backup of data, physical security, safety precautions to taken, or even some form of training that can be employed to reduce data loss when disaster strikes. Sine we are trying to deal with ways of dealing with data loss, the form in which backups will be kept will be of great concern as we would like to salvage as much information as possible.

My System Retard On Startup.
Computers are indeed complicated machines. No one is well versed with the whole science of computers to this extend we have come in technology. Every one understands a small portion of the computer and that’s why we need each other to help out in this new technology era. Sometimes even though they are of such great help to the society. Has your computer ever behaved in way such that when you tri to boot it, it keeps retarding and never completes the boot process! It might give you a bad headache especially when you have some important task to perform or you want to access some significant information from your storage device.
System startup error is a common encounter with today's systems. Such problems occur as a result of a hardware failure, or when the system has a problem with it boot sector. In the case of hardware failure, in most cases it is the hard disk that is most likely suspected to have fallen prey to malfunction and in either ways this are just but the beginning of the end of your hard disk!. Just to be sure that it is your storage device that would be failing, here are some diagnosis that you can apply to rescue your system.
Let a computer expert open inside your machine, check that the jumper on your storage device is well placed and not inverted. You can also try to start up the computer in the safe mode to check what the problem could be. This is done by booting the computer and before the error message is displayed, strike and hold the control key for some time until you will be displayed with some options by which you will select ‘start windows in safe mode.’ If your system still doesn’t show signs of “waking up” then get computer specialists to try and repair the operating systems using an original copy of the operating system installation CD. This should be done by an expert hence you might end up loosing all your files and folders that contain important information.

Stay Away From the Internet after Data loss
Data loss is when you have discovered that the information you used to have is now inaccessible due to disk error, deletion or a virus infection. Mostly many users will turn to the internet using the affected disk. If you need to browse the internet for data recovery information, first disconnect your disk drive that holds the inaccessible data.
This is important from the following reasons:
If you have any applications that run automatic updates like anti-viruses, media player programs that download files, they may overwrite the disk that you wish to recover data. Overwriting the disk will render your information inaccessible. The data that you long to recover will have been replaced by the data been downloaded by the applications receiving online updates
On checking your e-mails, any downloaded file or spam may contain viruses which would make the data recovery process more difficult. Viruses change the file structure and this may lead to some of your data been unrecoverable.
Websites with active-x scripts are a great threat to your data. This script can change the performance of your system. They may initiate auto-restart while installing components on your browser. This can also lead to overwriting on your disk wiping the data required to be recovered.
Seeking information from the wrong source can lead you to recover your data in the wrong way. Data recovery experts can recover your data and repair any damaged that the disk may have. Countries like India and Africa over reliable data recovery services at low cost. Getting a reputable company can recover your data and save your business from collapse.

Overheating Hard Disk
As a computer user, you should pay attention to the computer as you use it. Special attention should be paid to the hard drive because this is where most, if not all, your information has been stored. One of the things we may fail to recognize is when the hard drive begins to overheat.
In PC, computers are within the CPU casing and when it overheats, it is difficult to know. It is only noticeable when you touch the casing in the area where the hard drive is located and you find that that area is hot. In most laptops, the hard drive is embedded within it and is usually located below it. This means that if you use your laptop regularly on the desk, it would be hard to know when it is overheating. So it is good if you regularly check on you laptop’s or PC’s hard drive as you continue working with it.
Overheating is mainly caused by lack if proper ventilation on the hard drive. One of the causes could be an ineffective fan i.e. the fan could be spoilt. If the fan is not working, then it means that the hard drive cannot be cooled. Another cause of overheating is working in unfavorable condition. There are certain environments that are not conducive for working with computers. If you work with your laptop or PC in a place where there is no proper ventilation and circulation of air, the hard drive might overheat.
Overheating of the hard drive cause the internal components of the same to expand and this is evident through some click sounds. This is because the heat causes expansion of the components and they then come into contact with each other.
The result of this is hard drive crash. In case you are experiencing hard drive overheating you can contact a data recovery specialist to recover your data early. Trying to recover data when the overheating is happen may cause you to lose data permanently.

Laptop Hard drive Bad Head: How Do I Get My Data?
Laptops have storage devices. The laptop hard drive is the major storage media of the laptop and any other computer. Hard drive is one of the most important internal laptop components as it stores data that is used by the system and computer users.
The hard drive has several sensitive internal components in it such as magnetic disk commonly as platters, an actuator arm, the read/ write head and other components. The actuator arm holds the read write head and helps it move to and from the center of the magnetic disks (platters). The read/write head is designed to function in a way that it hovers very close to but not touching the surface of the platter. If you drop your laptop and the actuator arm happens to break, this means that the read/write head will have to touch the surface of the magnetic disc definitely the surface is destroyed and it cannot be read from again. The hard disk will be destroyed hence hard disk crash!
Some times due to the overheating of some laptops after being used for quite along time, the platters are forced to expand and in the process of spinning, they happen to touch the read/write head that is so close to them. Note that this head is so sensitive and such a slight touch may destroy it. This explains why some times you may hear some funny noise from your laptop. It’s as a result of a destroyed head touching the platters and in the process, some funny noise is produced from your laptop. All these are signs that all is not well with your laptop either it has crushed or it will very soon display the blue screen of death before you.
How do I retrieve my data from such hard disk? This is the question that many people ask themselves. It’s very simple. Data recover experts are here with us. If you had important data in your drive and present it to the specialist in recovery, what he will simply do is to replace the spoilt head with a similar one and read from the disk. Note that this is not as easy as explained and you should never at any instance try this yourself lest you lose your data forever!

Data Recovery: How Expensive Is It?
Data recovery is an involving process. It involves recovering data from a storage device that has probably failed or has been corrupt in various ways. Such devices cannot be read from by the computer. You can imagine the kind of data you had stored in your say hard drive and it at some point disappoints you. You wake up one morning and find that the hard drive cannot be accessed! This is usually a nightmare to many people and even organizations. There are several problems that come with hard drives or any other component of the storage media. It would be great if we could decipher the nature of the problem ourselves with the help of an eye. However, our eyes and our technological knowledge have its own set of limitations.
Data recovery is a highly specialized fields that relief headache of data loss victims. If you data were that valuable, then you will do anything to get it back. The skills involved in data recovery process is so advanced and one thing computer users should understand is that data recovery is achieved by combining different data recovery tools which are very expensive. Definitely for the returns to be paying, then the data recovery services have to be expensive. Though the charges are generally high, it depends on the level of damage caused on the drive. Come users after losing their data may try to recover data on their own and in the process they end up causing more damage on the storage media.
When such drives are taken for data recovery to the experts, they end up doubling the cost.

Corrupted Files On Hard Drive Causing Crashes: Should you reformat?
Corrupted file may be a result of a virus attacks. These viruses change the file structure of the file. The virus may either cause damage to the file in that when you try to open the file, you will only be able to see half of it. In a case where the file is corrupted, the file displays characters that are impossible to read. One way of curing your files is either replacing the file from a back up, or running a virus scan to neutralize the virus. In most cases the anti-virus will delete the attacked file. if the file happened to be an application file, it may not install as the setup files with an exe extension will have been deleted. This suggests that back up is the only preferable means of curing corrupted files.
Formatting the disk is also a good option only if you have a good source of backup. Formatting gets rid of the entire file and retrieving them is impossible. The only means to retrieve data from a formatted disk drive is by performing a disk recovery.
Corrupted files may also be brought by installing scripts that are harmful to your system. These scripts may either be for tracing credit card information or collecting all your passwords. Windows will flag these scripts as spyware. Spywares are coded to gain access to your files; this means if your files are coded to protect any reader, the scripts will change your file so as to be able to retrieve the information encrypted thus corrupting the file structure.
Hardware failure brought about either by dropping your disk can result lead to corrupting your files. The system may automatically alt or freeze while you are working on your data. If you can’t save your information while the computer is frozen, then your files will close informally creating errors that will definitely corrupt your files. Always backup your data, in situation where data is not impossible to regenerate from the backup, head to any recognized data recovery company and get your data recovered.

Is It Possible To Recover Data Twice?
The recovery process can take a whole bunch of time. If the first recovery process took six hours and all data was recovered, there may be no need to perform a second recovery. The time involved and the cost of recovery is extensive that a second recovery would not be an option.
A second recovery would take place if expected data was not recovered and the recovery expert decides to perform a second recovery this time paying more attention on the bad sectors.
Lost data can not be recovered if you happen to overwrite your disk. If for instance you happen to loose data and by chance your operating system or anti-virus automatically connects to update itself, chances are that you the disk may be over written. This means that if a data recovery was to be performed on the disk, the information that was there before will have been replaced by the new data. The files that will be recovered will be those that will be lately written to the disk drive.
Another situation that would lead to a second recovery would be if the disk in which the data was stored after recovery crashed accidentally while with the owner, or files were deleted or formatted.
A second disk recovery would still be possible only that the cost of the recovery will of coarse be covered by the owner of the disk. This implies that great care is essential when handling disk drive. Upon handing in your disk for recovery, you are always requested to put down all files that you need recovered. By doing so it is possible to counter check which information has been recovered and which has not. If any information happens to be missing, the data recovery expert will have to perform another recovery procedure until the files needed are recovered. If the files won’t be recovered, no charges will be asked from you.

How Expensive is Data Recovery?
The recovery of any form of storage device depends on the following:
The value of information held in the disk drive. Confidential information, information concerning clients in a banking system or data holding information of patients in a hospital can be very important. On loosing such information, normally the first thing you would do is to try and recover the data. Loosing banking data can cause a lot of panic and even speculation of fraud. During such moments the most important thing is how to get back the data in the shortest time possible.
Such disk drives would require an emergency data recovery process. Emergency data recovery process is where an expert is assigned to your drive to use all possible methods known and recover the data in the shortest time possible. This may take half the time of a normal data recovery process. Owing to the fact that the recovery process would take less time and more technical concentration the cost of the recovery process would be slightly higher than the normal price.
The extents of the disk damage:
Disk drives suffer different forms of damages, it may be damaged from dropping where the magnetic platter may suffer cracks or the heads may dislocate in such away that this causes a clicking sound when reading the plates of the drive. Damage may be caused by a power surge that may blow all the chips on the printed circuit board of the disk.
The form of repair will differ as the more the damage on the disk drive the more costly it will be to recover the data.
Time required in recovering the data:
The recovery process is charged by mega bytes, data recovery companies have different charging rates depending on the methods and software they use to reconstruct data. A company may be charging 80 $ per mega byte recovered.
As more recovery companies emerge, data recovery companies in India and Africa offer cheap data recovery rates owing to the fact that the industry offers cheap labour

My Laptop Is getting to Slow
Virus attacks are a big contributor to slowing down your computer operating speed. Viruses when triggered execute multiple of operations using you the laptop memory. If your laptop has a lot of information stored, it would be very advisable to sort out the useful information from the rest of the data. The random access memory will take long getting the useful data you want retrieved quickly. Data that you refer to weekly can be stored in an external hard disk drive.

Dropped Laptop and System Fails: How?
Laptop technology is one of things that computer users have acknowledged. Laptops are portable computers and it’s due to their portability that their hard drive fails. Research has shown that 25% of data loss is from mobile hard drives.
Laptops are often fell down and in most cases once a laptop falls down, its hard drive is likely to fail. When a laptop falls down, what happens is that the internal components such as the hard drive are likely to be physically destroyed. Hard drives are well known as data storage devices. One thing laptop users should understand about their laptops is that hard drives also hold the operating system of the computer. Once a laptop hard drive fails, it simply means that there will be no more operating system for your laptop and this explains why the user may receive funny errors like no operating system found or no boot device found.
Physical damage of a computer hard drive is quite technical to retrieve data from such a failed hard drive. There are two types of hard drive damage. Physical damage and logical damage. With logical damage, it is fairly easy to retrieve data from the failed drive because the sectors of the hard drive are only corrupt by system threats such as computer viruses and Trojans. Antivirus program software can be used to neutralize and clean an infected drive then data can still be recovered from it more efficiently. Notice that a logically damaged drive can easily be reused as opposed to the physically damaged drive which may have more complications and data reovery process may be quite challenging.
