If you can not start your Windows 2000/XP/2003 computer by using the last known good configuration, you can use safe mode. It is a startup option, which disables nonessential services and startup programs for creating an environment that is useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting problems. When the safe mode is required Allowing only components required for fundamental functioning permits the operating system to begin in following circumstances:

Posted on February 5, 2009 by SimpsonHard drive is the most useful, though unreliable, component of computer system and most of the computer users always try to hide from the fact that hard drive failure can happen anytime. This is for the reason that they take them for granted and don’t expect their failure. On the other hand, some of us do believe that if even a program is hanging up, restarting the system is the sure cure of all such problems, while one can be hard drive failure and instead needs hard drive recovery.

Data Loss due to System Hive Issues
Posted on February 5, 2009 by SimpsonThe Windows registry is a database, comprising of several parts called registry hives. A hive is a logical group of keys, subkeys and values in the registry which has a set of supporting files containing backups of its data. When the Windows operating system like Windows 2000 Professional starts, it uses such hive files as the building materials which are located in %systemroot%\system32\config folder. The System hive contains all the system settings, irrespective of the user.

Perils like, virus attacks, improper shutdown and more result in hard drive corruption.
Hard Drive Failure and Recovery
Posted on February 1, 2009 by SimpsonHard disk is the non volatile storage media, made to reliably store data. Hard drive may fail and the residing data may become inaccessible. But, most of the failures, especially the mechanical and electronic, don't lead to permanent data deletion. These just signify that data will not be accessible by normal means, but require special hard drive recovery procedures to retrieve the most.
Data Loss Problem is Resolvable
Posted on February 1, 2009 by spearWe assume that data is safe and will remain intact in our storage media, but we still face data loss. It is now possible to recover all the data using data recovery tools. The advanced technologies to offer cent percent recovery in each possible instance of data loss are already there like using Checksums with RAID and Ghost images (widely used in Corporate Environment). Similar to other advents, hard drive is also not meant for unlimited life-span. It may gradually fail, for which higher spi...
Accidental File Deletion
Posted on February 1, 2009 by SimpsonThe important documents like access databases, multimedia files, excel spreadsheets, zip files etc. are the alias of an organization's crucial business assets.

Partition Loss in Windows Due to Lack of Shutdown Notification
Posted on May 31, 2009 by spearIn the context of servers we aspire for better disk and system software performance than workstations. There are various options to achieve that. One is by using hard disks with faster drive interfaces like SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), more rpm (rotations per minute) like 15,000 rpm, larger drive cache or buffer like 32 MB. The SCSI Hard drives are made for Disk arrays like that of RAID and JBOD. As a practical instance, a Windows server partition with fundamental disk signature, th...
Data Recovery from SCSI Hard Drive of Server
Posted on May 26, 2009 by SimpsonSmall Computer System Interface (SCSI) hard drives are high performance disks, which provide large data transfer in comparatively less time. These drives are mostly used in high performance Servers like Database Servers, Application Servers and more. These disks come in speeds ranging from 7200 rpm to 15,000 rpm and are generally made to operate in disk arrays like RAID and JBOD. Such high speeds deliver great performance though they also create the possibility of logical or physical hard drive ...
