In case there is a mechanical failure sometimes it is not possible to restore any information as HDD becomes completely invalid.
The programmers who attempted to resolve any HDD troubles with Windows 98 or earlier systems preferred use of fdisk utility and some other simple systems. The main disadvantage of use of such utility is that it is truly difficult to use and it can be properly applied just by a programmer.
File systems
The technique of saving and spreading the information on the HDD is commonly determined by a file system. Every HDD is separated on some sections. These sectors are named partitions. The most widespread file systems which are utilized by Windows are NTFS (NT File System) and FAT (File Allocation Table). FAT is older system that was utilized in DOS as FAT-16 and in Windows 9x/ME as FAT-32. The basic dissimilarity between these systems is the capability of the system. The disk size limit for FAT-16 is just 2 GB. In modern versions of Windows the primary system is NTFS but it can simply operate with FAT without complexities.
Of course all the Windows OS could work with FAT but NTFS offers considerably more possibilities. Another considerable benefit is that user can set individual access rights for any file. Every first sector of every disk contains information which is named disk partition table and boot record that is believed to be service information. Read the rest of this entry »
