Living in a very small village people over here are not tech-savvy but the rapid growth of technology and demand from the various sector of people it become necessary to learn such necessary skill for small business man. So my uncle running a photo studio realizing this changed his studio to digital one. Have just little knowledge of computer system, knows only to click, store and print the photo. He does not have a slightest idea of backing up the data, in his case the photograph of his valuable customer. He doesn't face any problem for almost 6 month and his business grew with leaps and bound.
One dread full evening because of the power surge his computer shut down abruptly and does not boot up again. Technician told him that because of power surge some of the file system got corrupted, no repair of the system can be done, only re-installing of the operating system can make the system work again. And re-installing of the operating systems means wiping out all the data from the hard drive. Data loss at this situation can bring the business to brink. Realizing the grave situation he called me for the rescue operation. I made him comfortable, and said I will get back his data.
Data recovery is not a major issue now-a-days with lots of Data recovery software available online which can recover the data from dead hard drive. Deleted data is not lost for ever just maddeningly misplaced; recovery is only one mouse click away. Searching on Google gave me the idea, a file and Partition recovery utility which recovers data from formatted hard drive or loss occurs due to any of situations like software malfunction, viruses, file/directory deletion or even sabotage. It also helps to recover the data from inaccessible hard drive.
Download the demo version of the software to analyze. What I got that software is fully automated. It identifies the drive and locates all partition on the inaccessible drive and presents them in a list. It examines the remains of file structure (Boot Sector, FAT copies, Root directory) and the data area of the inaccessible drive and works the best path out to recover the files and directories. It presents all recoverable files and directories in a tree structure. We can select our data files and directories and move the data to a safe location. Stellar Phoenix scans and displays all the physical drives it finds.I selected the physical disk from which I have to recover my data. Stellar Phoenix presents with two options either search for logical drives in the selected disk or use drive information that is stored in the partition table. I Used partition table information option to recover deleted or lost folders & files. While Stellar Phoenix is scanning the selected the logical drive it displays the search results found in the left side panel and creates a tree structure. There I see all my file and fold have lost. Scanning took almost 3 hours, but has given the good result.

Windows Registry Scan - Top 5 Reasons Why You Need To Do It Now
Performing a Windows registry scan is beneficial for your PC in many ways.
What is the Windows registry?
The Windows registry is a big database that contains information about all the hardware and software installed on your PC.
As applications are installed and un-installed, and your system changes, the registry becomes more and more bloated. The bloat comes from applications that don't clean up their registry entries, spyware, etc.
This bloat is bad for you and your PC because it slows your PC down and can even damage your PC.
Here are the top five reasons to run a regular Windows registry scan on your pc:
1. Increase speed
As the days go by, your PC gradually gets slower and slower, as you changes settings, install applications and through general use. If you find your PC is slower than when you bought it, it is time to start doing regular registry scans.
2. PC Freezes
The more you registry bloats up, the more your PC will stop responding for no apparent reason.
3. Blue Screen Of Death
If you've ever waited ages for your PC to start up, only to be confronted with a blue screen covered with jibberish, then cleaning your Windows registry should be the next step you take.
4. Trouble Starting Your PC
Trouble getting started and into Windows usually indicates some sort of registry trouble. Download a complimentary test registry scan and see if anything needs to be fixed.
5. Sanity
If you've ever been sitting in front of the PC waiting for it to do something while the hard disk whirs away, accomplishing nothing, then you need to clean your registry. Turn your PC from a dog into a road-runner and protect your sanity.
