Erase Data from hard drive

Admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:04:56 +0000

Secure erasure of data is a constant issue with second hand hardware, particularly hard drives, but potentially any device using storage. Even non-persistent memory, that is designed to clear itself when a device is switched off, can be vulnerable – as studies have shown it is possible to recovery this with appropriate procedures.

When you erase a file on your computer, the actual data in the file is not overwritten. The space utilized by that file is simply marked as “free” for use by other data. Once other data is written in that space, the original data becomes unrecoverable. Those little bits of magnetic media that store 0’s and 1’s are a bit more complex, however, and recovery of data becomes impossible, after the hard drive has been overwritten.

The method to securely erase data is to write over the same physical spot on the hard disk multiple times with different patterns, effectively obliterating the magnetic signatures of the data which was once there. This can be made possible by the use of a good data shredding software.

REMO Shredder software makes use of a powerful shredding algorithm to erase data from the hard drive. The software makes use of several military and government approved shredding patterns to shred data. The software also lets you shred free space from the hard drive.

Protection of your PC on a daily basis

Data backup is one of the most important, yet neglected areas of computing. The effectiveness of the backup depends on the frequency at which backup is performed. Most PC users prefer to take a backup of their data on a daily basis, while others, on a monthly basis.

While some users prefer to just take a backup of their data, on a daily basis, others go a step further to permanently delete files from their PC, after a complete backup has been taken by them. This is useful in cases where confidential data is involved, or at places where chances of data misuse is potentially high. There exists another method in which you can protect your confidential data. This is by scheduling a complete erasure task, at system start-up. In this way, permanently delete files from your hard drive, every time you restart your PC.

REMO Shredder lets you do this easily with a few mouse clicks. The software lets you schedule shredding tasks on particular date, at a particular time. REMO Shredder lets you choose between nine different shredding methods based on different security levels. The software also lets you shred free space, by completely erasing even the deleted data from the drive.

How to recover Outlook Express *.dbx files?

Admin — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:23:37 +0000

Outlook Express is bundled with Internet Explorer and uses *.dbx files for storing e-mails. It is a different application as compared to ‘Microsoft Office Outlook’ e-mail client which comes with Microsoft Office for Windows. Each mailbox in Outlook Express has its own file with the extension of .dbx (like inbox.dbx, drafts.dbx, sent.dbx etc). And all these *.dbx files are stored in a single folder and the default path where outlook stores dbx file is:

“C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{SDOCE8ABD-5896-3E3D5}\Microsoft\Outlook Express”

Where ‘Administrator’ is the user’s logon ID and the value in curly-brackets {} is an arbitrary string.

Since Outlook Express stores its email messages in separate files of .dbx format, it is not always possible to scan your mailbox for viruses and clean it. Some antivirus programs that are available do not support the scanning of .dbx files due to which your mailbox can become the source of infection. These files experience data loss not only due to virus attach but can also become corrupt and damage due to large size or copying and moving to a different computer.

If you experience such data loss, you will have to use a utility to recover outlook express *.dbx files. Remo Recover Outlook Express Software is a tool designed for recovering accidentally deleted Outlook Express, e-mail messages from any “dbx/mbx” archive or to repair damaged *.dbx files where Outlook Express stores folders containing e-mail messages.

To reapir dbx inbox using Remo Recover Outlook Express Software is very easy. This e-mail recovery software is accompanied by an on-screen “wizard”; which guides you through the recovery of lost e-mails from “dbx” files step by step. When all is accomplished you will get all the recovered e-mails or repaired outlook folder. This software repairs damaged *.dbx files and recovers *.eml files in the selected destination folder.

The main highlight of this software is that it recovers emails in .eml format that can be easily imported. Where you just need to select the emails you wish to import to Outlook Express, drag and drop to a specified Outlook Express folder. Or just double-click the .eml files to read them.

Necessary help for Linux file storage glitches

I have just purchased a new HP netbook. While this unit is running Windows XP my previous netbook which I gave to a relative ran Linux. To be truthful the Linux ran faster, even with a slower processor. I bought the new unit primarily for its larger screen. Linux has few frills but is definitely a fast system. Another interesting facet of the Linux OS is that there is a ton of free support online for the system. Unlike Windows where Microsoft wants to parcel out help at a price. Linux is free for everyone. As such there is a great deal of help available. For data recovery of files stored on Linux the best choice is currently Disk Doctors Linux Recovery Software. Linux is a fabulous operating system but sometimes its speed results in files being thrown by the wayside. When Linux files get lost or damaged Disk Doctors is there to retrieve them.

How you can restore missing partitions in Windows

Admin — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:43:46 +0000

Early versions of Windows use file allocation tables (FAT 16 FAT 32) to divide up the space on hard drives and then provide quick access to the data stored. Newer versions use NTFS storage. Each of these as with any kind of hard drive dividing system is subject to failure if a PC is shut down abruptly during start up. A simple power surge or rollover by a power company is enough to cause a problem resulting in corrupted files. When this occurs, you may suddenly find yourself facing a bright blue error screen telling you that crucial files needed to start your computer are no longer available. Many people either reformat their PC when this happens or actually replace the entire computer! All that is needed is a program for partition recovery such as Disk Doctors Windows Data Recovery Software. This powerful program can scan an entire hard drive in seconds and quickly recover those missing files.

Speedy recovery of important digital files

My company does a great deal of ecommerce development. Currently we are putting together a site that sells trophies and awards online. There are thousands of items that need to be written about and have image files made for. Also we are taking the photos ourselves so we are constantly loading files onto a PC and then deleting the camera files. Needless to say it is far too easy to accidentally delete files before they are downloaded. When this happens we can lose several hours work from the photographer. This is far too expensive to lose and for that reason we have on all of our PC desktops a bundle of programs for file recovery from Disk Doctors.

Disk Doctors has a program to recover lost files to fit any situation. Almost every Disk Doctors program has multiple uses such as recovery of data from flash drives or camera smart cards. Whether you lose data before you download it or after Disk Doctors data recovery programs will find it and restore it for you.

When is a file truly deleted forever?

Admin — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:47:05 +0000

Files deleted from a computer are not removed. They do not simply vanish into the air leaving no trace of the information they hold. Actually the only thing changed when a file is deleted is the name on the area the file was in. Instead of saying ABC file the hard drive now say available space. This allows that area to have new information written to it. But, until that section is overwritten several times, the data stored is completely available. This presents a tremendous problem when disposing of an older PC or upgrading a drive. Anyone with a data recovery program can tap into those files and copy the information they hold. Now if all that is on them is a letter to your grandmother there is no problem. But should your PC hold sensitive data such as business plans or records then you are at risk for problems such as credit card fraud and identity theft.

The solution to this problem is to download Disk Doctors File Shredder. This user-friendly program will quickly erase all traces of any file from your PC. Even temporary Internet files are scrambled so that no one can ever track your online movements.
