If you have recently suffered from a hard drive failure or have deleted files accidentally on a windows system machine, data recovery is very possible. However the most important thing that you must keep in mind is that you must stop using that hard drive immediately. The lost data will still be on your hard drive, but as soon as you start writing something new onto the drive, you stand a very good chance of losing your data, since the new data could be written over the old. Windows uses two file systems, FAT32 (File Allocation Table) and NTFS (New Technology File System). Data recovery is quite possible from each of these file systems when they fail. FAT32 is a relatively straightforward system that offers a easy and expedient way of sharing data. The biggest problem with FAT32 is that it is slowed down by fragmentation (fragments of deleted files get scattered across the disc, which slows down the read/write process) which can make data recovery from failed drives and rescuing deleted files a delicate process.

NTFS is the standard file system for Microsoft Windows from Windows 2000 though to Vista – and replaced the FAT system used in previous Windows versions. It has several advantages over FAT32 through improved data structures that make for faster performance, better reliability, security and disk space organization. Data recovery from an NTFS disc is easier. Windows NTFS system ensures that complete transactions appear on the drive. When you need to perform data recovery, NTFS reprocesses each operation in the log file and finds any operations that were not made at the time of the system failure.

 The physical process of recovering File can be quite complicated for the layman. You have to know how to access that File on the storage device it’s sitting on. If you were to look at File as it is stored, it would probably just look like a meaningless jumble of hieroglyphics. But even if File has been corrupted (this can happen from something as common as a lightning strike a long distance away) it is possible for a professional to be able to get it all back for you – or most of it anyway. Of course there are sometimes occasions where File cannot be recovered – if a computer has been completely destroyed in a fire, for example. But in by far the majority of cases you will end up a satisfied customer.

Intratec Data Recovery is a company that specialises in File recovering. No job is too big for them. Even if your PC has caught fire and seemingly been completely destroyed, you would be surprised at what can be recovered. Of course it’s not a simple job. It calls for a skilled computer engineer backed up by good software and modern equipment. You must be prepared to give the engineer involved as much information as possible about the File that has been lost. Recovering File is easier if he knows, for example, what type of files were lost or damaged. Whether they were MS Word files or Excel files, for example. What the names were, maybe what some of the text contained. Every little bit of information helps in the recovery of the File.

Intratec Data Recovery, one of South Africa’s leading data recovery specialists, was first started in Cape Town in the year 2000. Within just a short time the company was such a success that we opened branches in Johannesburg and Durban. As a company we endeavour to set the highest standards in the South African data recovery industry. We live in an information era, so much so that our lives depend upon computers and the data that they carry. When one of our computers fails, everything falls to pieces around us.

This doesn’t only apply to our own personal computers, but also to those in industry and commerce around us.
