Data Recovery Tips

Regardless of the particular data recovery software that you are using, data recovery is a fairly automatic process. You recover the files or you do not. Here in this website we will discuss and give you some data recovery tips which may help you get the most from your data recovery process :
  • The most and important data recovery tip for you is - always keep a current backup of your work in progress. Even if you have to reinstall an operating system and applications from scratch, you can easily restore the backup of your work and keep going. If you have no backup, and you are unable to recover the data, you may need to start from scratch. Periodically, you should practice restoring you backups to verify the media and restoration process. Backups would not do any good if you do not know how to restore them.
  • Always make sure that, the suspect drive is specified correctly in the CMOS Setup. Changing a drives geometry can render the drive inaccessible - until the original drive geometry setting are restored. This happens frequently when moving hard drives from one system to another system.

There is no Audio when playing an audio CD in the DVD drive

This is a very common problem, specially during new DVD drive installation.

DVD movie stops when my Computer returns from a screen saver

For example, if a screen saver starts while a DVD movie is playing, you will only hear the audio. When you try to return from the screen saver ( by moving the mouse, for example ) the player may stop playing the DVD movie entirely.

To recover from this problem, you may need to exit and restart the player applet ( such as Windows Media player ) This is typically related to a problem with operating systems like Windows XP, and you may be able to fix this problem by updating Windows from the Microsoft website. In the meantime, you should disable the screen saver through the Display Properties dialog box. In some cases, the movie player may have an option that will prevent a screen saver from running during DVD playback.
