Crashed hard drive recovery used to be a huge problem. The reason for this was very simple. In the past, when a PC crashed, it usually meant that the drive was physically damaged. In the past we would refer to these drives as fried. This term was use because physical damage to hard drives usually included an overheated control board. In order to rescue the information stored on this damaged hardware it was actually necessary to remove the internal disk and send it off to a data recovery service lab. They then connected a new control board to the drive and proceeded to rescue your files. Hard disks built any time in the last seven years generally do not have such severe physical crash problems. The worst physical problem you are likely to see in an internal disk today is one where the platter which holds embedded magnetic information is a little out of balance and as a result of this often misses effective retrieval of information. This can result in loss of files needed to open the same hard disk and access other records. Many times a crashed PC only involves the loss of a few essential files due to an improper startup or shutdown of the computer.
Both of these situations can be resolved easily using FileFinder. The first step in crashed hard drive recovery is to retrieve from that unit all of your stored files. We do this by loading a special recovery disc into our computer by means of its CD/DVD drive. Once loaded a special version of Windows will start your computer and access even a shaky hard disk. We include with our program simple instructions that will guide you through the process of searching for all of your lost files and copying them to a safe location. Once your files are safe you can reload Windows and test your computer. In most cases reloading Windows is all that is needed to repair a crashed PC.
Using FileFinder for crashed operating system recovery is very easy
We begin by downloading the installation package on to any spare or friend’s PC. Even if your computer is operating partially it is always unwise to download data retrieval software directly to the computer that is affected, as this creates a risk of overwriting the very files you need to save.
Once you download FileFinder to the extra PC the installation package will guide you through a very simple process of burning the recovery disc. That disk can be made in a CD or DVD format. Obviously, if your broken computer does not have the ability to read DVDs you want to make the CD and use that as your recovery disc. Once you have created this disc simply load it into any PC that you need to restore deleted files from or has crashed and will not load Windows. Our software is built upon a special miniature version of Windows and will use that operating system to start your failed computer. Once your PC starts up you can use the self contained OS to rescue the contents of your failed hard disk. This is the basis of crashed hard drive recovery. Once your files are safely stored elsewhere, this should be any type of external drive. Then you are free to reload your Windows operating system and place your desktop or laptop computer back into its original working condition.
