Recovery and data preservati​on

I have a hp pavilion dv 8000. Had a operating system crash. Goes to windows xp prof sTar up screen then asks for safe mode, safe mode with networking etc. selecting any will cause system to reboot and start process over in a perpetual loop. It has two physicla drives. Hitachi. When it was operating ok it had a c drive for software exe. And d drive for data. When I use an adapter to see each drive after removing them, all I see is a f drive for my data on one physical drive and f disk and recovery g disk on the other. Files on recovery seem to be hidden. The operating system xp is corrupt so I should see the c drive, but don,t I want to get some pst files out of c drive. How do it do it Also i made recovery disks about 3 yrs ago. If I use them wil I lose all pst on c drive and data on d drive? NEED HELP!

Jim,
Thanks for chiming in on a topic where I didn't expect to get many replies. All of your comments are well appreciated. I was basically asking because I was under the impression that unless your master is in RAW format, making adjustments to exposure, contrast and even recovery and black point would not do much and could even be detrimental to things such as skin tone, etc. I like to shoot in RAW for the reason of being able to have more fine control to adjustments, but for everyday shots and portraits I don't always go to RAW format since a lot of the time I have trouble getting the shot right with the manual controls. I also don't want the large RAW files for every shot that I take. Still, a lot of JPEG's need adjustments, even if just minor tweaks. The tweaks I make look fine on the screen, but I wasn't sure if they would look okay when printed out and I didn't want to spend countless hours making adjustments and spend (waste) money on prints that weren't going to come out good.
Anyway, that is the background to my thinking in making this post. Thanks again for chiming in.

    Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

    Sounds to me like the file is probably corrupt. If you had hard drive corruption or damage, that could easily result in recovered files not being fully intact. If you were trying to recover accidentally deleted files, it's possible they might have been partially overwritten before recovering. There are never any guarantees with file recovery.
    Without more information on the circumstances that led you to try recovery, it's hard to give advice on what to try from here. You could always try another file recovery tool, like Data Rescue 3. Just be sure you're taking appropriate precautions when doing recovery. See Recovering deleted files.

  • Time Machine Recovery (after data recovery)

    Several months ago, Disk2 and Disk3 in my 2007 MacPro 1,1 (OSX 10.7.5) became unreadable by the computer. To make matters worse, the Time Machine external backup became equally as unreadable. All at the same time! Drive 1, with the operating system, seems to be unaffected. The two unreadable drives showed up as "media" in disk utility, but didn't show up in Disk Warrior or any other similar programs (partition repairing) using the "terminal." I sent the Time Machine drive (WD Mybook Essential 3Tb) to DataRecovery.com and they found no phyical issues with the drive. There was, however,"Data Corruption in the file tables and data area" (according to the evaluation report). This was corrected and the TM drive was supposedly completely recovered.
    Upon receiving the external drive (now replaced by a newer 3Tb Mybook), I replaced disk2 and disk3 with new 1TB drives (formatted with a single partition) and tried to perform a restore for these two drives. No such luck.....The drive was readable by the computer but would not actually enter into "Time Machine." I examined the actual drive and found an inordinate amount of Unix executable files, especially when going into the individual backups. The drive does show that they recovered 870Gb of information, but nothing seems to be readable much less recoverable.
    I'm wondering if there is a workaround for any of this or whether I should contact the data recovery people to resolve this. I appreciate any help on this as it's become expensive and a bit deflating.......I still hold out some hope, though. Thanks. The drives were most likely corrupted by a generator that kicks on once a week (automatic maintenance) and temporarily cuts power long enough to turn the computer off...I've since gotten a UPS.

  • I just downloaded version 7.1.1 and my phone is stuck on a screen showing me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes. When I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to do a hard restore. Doing this, it says it will go back to factory

    how can I keep my data doing a hard recovery on my phone? I uploaded newest version and phone is stuck on a screen telling me to plug phone into computer and go to iTunes, when I do this, iTunes says my phone is in recovery and I need to restore, Can anyone please help me get my phone back without losing anything?

    You shouldn't have to restore your phone to keep your data. But first press home and on button at the same time until phone shows up Apple logo an boots up normally. When the phone comes back on plug into ituens and back it up by selecting "Back Up Now". Once backed up, you can press update and install 7.1.1 and it will restore and recover all your previously backed up data. You can also press "update" and itunes will automtically back up the phoen and install 7.1.1.

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

    How to ask a good question
    Make sure to give all the pertinent information that people will need to answer your question. Questions like “I got an IO error, any ideas?” or “What’s the best technology for me to use?” will likely go unanswered, or at best just result in a request for more information. Here are some ideas of what to include:
    For the “I got an IO error, any ideas?” scenario:
    The exact error message. (The SQL Errorlog and Windows Event Logs can be a rich source of information. See the section on error logs below.)
    What were you doing when you got the error message?
    When did this start happening?
    Any troubleshooting you’ve already done. (e.g. “I’ve already checked all the firmware and it’s up-to-date” or "I've run SQLIOStress and everything looks OK" or "I ran DBCC CHECKDB and the output is <blah>")
    Any unusual occurrences before the error occurred (e.g. someone tripped the power switch, a disk in a RAID5 array died)
    If relevant, the output from ‘DBCC CHECKDB (yourdbname) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS’
    The SQL Server version and service pack level
    For the “What’s the best technology for me to use?” scenario:
    What exactly are you trying to do? Enable local hardware redundancy? Geo-clustering? Instance-level failover? Minimize downtime during recovery from IO errors with a single-system?
    What are the SLAs (Service Level Agreements) you must meet? (e.g. an uptime percentage requirement, a minimum data-loss in the event of a disaster requirement, a maximum downtime in the event of a disaster requirement)
    What hardware restrictions do you have? (e.g. “I’m limited to a single system” or “I have several worldwide mirror sites but the size of the pipe between them is limited to X Mbps”)
    What kind of workload does you application have? (or is it a mixture of applications consolidated on a single server, each with different SLAs) How much transaction log volume is generated?
    What kind of regular maintenance does your workload demand that you perform (e.g. “the update pattern of my main table is such that fragmentation increases in the clustered index, slowing down the most common queries so there’s a need to perform some fragmentation removal regularly”)
    Finding the Logs
    You will often find more information about an error by looking in the Error and Event logs. There are two sets of logs that are interesting:
    SQL Error Log: default location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.#\MSSQL\LOG (Note: The # changes depending on the ID number for the installed Instance. This is 1 for the first installation of SQL Server, but if you have mulitple instances, you will need to determine the ID number you’re working with. See the BOL for more information about Instance ID numbers.)
    Windows Event Log: Go to the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools section of the Start Menu. The System event log will show details of IO subsystem problems. The Application event log will show details of SQL Server problems.

    hi,I have a question on sql database high availability. I have tried using database mirroring, where I am using sql standard edition, in this database mirroring of synchronous mode is the only option available, and it is giving problem, like sql time out errors on my applicatons since i had put in the database mirroring, as asynchronous is only available on enterprise version, is there any suggestions on this. thanks ---vijay

  • I have had to update my iphone 4 through itunes and it has come up that itunes has found a iphone that is in recovery and needs to be restored, I cannot loose all my pics on my phone so need to know what I can do! My phone is not working now.

    I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
    I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
    My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
    Please help!!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 - Bluetooth and Data Connectivity...

    Hi - i recently updated my Nokia lumia 1520 with a new firmware that Nokia tool told me being available.  after that i have consistantly having bluetooth connectivity issues and Data connectivity issues.
    i have a Jabra Clipper bluetooth headset which .  i am no longer able to pair it. it detect and says jabra clipper, then starts pairing, then simply says couldn't connect.
    if i have wifi on, if i go out of range of the WIFI signal, my data connection stops working as well.  this is 100% of the time.  i have to reboot my phone to get data connectivity back.
    Its on Lumia Cyan
    manufacturer name: RM-937-im_mea3_1019
    core build id: 7030.80
    bsp release: 2061.0066
    applicatoin versoin: 3.11.2.1
    build creation date: 7/8/2014
    from Nokia software recovery tool:
    Product Code: 059V479
    Software Version: 02061.00066.14253.40002

    Because I am just an end-user like you and I do not have your hardware combination here, I can only give general advice. Could be a new interoperability issue between these two devices, introduced with Lumia Cyan. Could be a old wrong pair-key. Or could be interfering between your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Bluetooth Adaptive Channel Hopping). Therefore, let us start with the Bluetooth part:
    on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Wi-Fi » Off (to avoid any interference)
    on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Bluetooth » On
    (status: paired) tap and hold your Jabra CLIPPER » delete (if paired already)
    on the Jabra CLIPPER, press and hold the multi-function button until the indicator light is solid blue (approximately 6 seconds) to activate the paring mode
    Your Bluetooth headset should appear in your phone now. After you tapped on it, it should be paired successfully. Does it?
    If not, start over again and between step 1 and 2, power off both Jabra CLIPPER and Nokia Lumia 1520.
    If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, please hold volume down + power until the Nokia Lumia 1520 turns off (soft reboot; do not forget to set your date/time afterwards).
    If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, turn off your Wi-Fi access point.
    Does it work now?

    what should i do to get the recovery partition back? ... get back all the HDD space on one partition C the way i bought it
    Restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using the Toshiba recovery discs.
    Before doing that, back up the data drives.
    If you insist on creating an additional partition, shrink the C partition and put it in the space created. Best to use a third-party tool.

  • T440S to T440s - program and data transfer, OS licensing issue

    Hi,
    Obviously not able to open these critters up. I have a new T440s that I would like to transfer my programs and data to.  Is there a program out there that can do this without having to pull out the hard drive to image?
    My current one has Windows 8.1. The new one has Windows 7 with the Windows 8.1 recovery discs.  Issue is, I believe that the Windows license is tied to the hardware?  Therefore I would have to make a recovery disc set of Windows 7.....then use the Windows 8.1 recovery discs then move my programs and data over. 
    Windows Easy Transfer does not look like it can do the best job.
    I thought about bringing it to the store for them to swap the drives but then worried alot about the whole licensing issue.  (not to mention the possible loss of my warranty) Unless if it is done professional and the license could be stripped out of the existing drive and new drive moved to new machine....perhaps a way to get the license keys from the new system somehow.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello.
    If you look at the bottom of the machines, and they both have the Windows 8 sticker, your machines are licenced and the product key is embedded in the BIOS.
    You can use this program: ProduKey to view and write down your keys, but if you use either the Recovery disks or a WIndows 8 Pro retail DVD to reinstall Windows, your key will be picked up automatically by the installation.
    For migration of your files, programs and settings, you could simply clone your current WIndows 8.1 installation onto the new drive using, assuming your installation is UEFI and thus your HD is GPT partitioned, Macrium Reflect, which many users here have had a good experience with. That would save you time from having to reinstall Windows on the new machine as well and all you'd have to do is to enter the embedded Windows key of your new machine to activate it.
    Macrium Reflect
    That's at least one suggestion, but there are many ways to go about this.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • ROLLBACK SEGMENT NEEDS RECOVERY AND HOW TO RESOLVE IT

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 1995-02-06
    Subject :
    This article discusses what it means when a rollback segment needs
    recovery and how to resolve it.
    OVERVIEW
    This bulletin discusses why a rollback segment is the status of
    "needs recovery", what the status means, and how to resolve it.
    INTRODUCTION
    Rollback segments can be monitored through the data dictionary view,
    dba_rollback_segments. There is a status column that describes what state
    the rollback segment is currently in. Normal states are either online or offline.
    Occasionally, the status of "needs recovery" will appear.
    This is considered to be a corrupted rollback segment.
    When a rollback segment is in this state, bringing the rollback segment
    offline or online either through the alter rollback segment command or
    removing it from the rollback segments parameter in the init.ora usually has no effect.
    UNDERSTANDING
    A rollback segment falls into this status of needs recovery whenever
    Oracle tries to roll back an uncommitted transaction in its transaction
    table and fails.
    Here are some examples of why a transaction may need to rollback:
    1-A user may do a dml transaction and decides to issue rollback
    2-A shutdown abort occurs and the database needs to do an instance recovery
    in which case, Oracle has to roll back all uncommitted transactions.
    When a rollback of a transaction occurs, undo must be applied to the
    data block the modified row/s are in. If for whatever reason, that data
    block is unavailable, the undo cannot be applied. The result is a
    'corrupted' rollback segment with the status of needs recovery.
    What could be some reasons a datablock is unaccessible for undo?
    1-If a tablespace or a datafile is offline or missing.
    2-If the object the datablock belongs to is corrupted.
    3-If the datablock that is corrupt is actually in the rollback segment
    itself rather than the object.
    HOW TO RESOLVE IT
    1-MAKE sure that all tablespaces are online and all datafiles are
    online. This can be checked through dba_data_files under the
    status column. For tablespaces, look in dba_tablespaces.
    If that still does not resolve the problem then
    2-PUT the following in the init.ora-
    event = "10015 trace name context forever, level 10"
    Setting this event will generate a trace file that will reveal the
    necessary information about the transaction Oracle is trying to roll
    back and mostimportantly, what object Oracle is trying to apply
    the undo to.
    3-TAKE the corrupted rollback segment out of the rollback_segments parameter in the init.ora
    4-SHUTDOWN the database (if normal does not work, immediate, if that does
    not work, abort) and bring it back up.
    Note: An ora-1545 may be encountered, or other errors, that is ok.
    5-CHECK in the directory that is specified by the user_dump_dest parameter
    (in the init.ora or show parameter command) for a trace file that was
    generated at startup time.
    6-IN the trace file, there should be a message similiar to-
    error recovery tx(#,#) object #.
    TX(#,#) refers to transaction information.
    The object # is the same as the object_id in sys.dba_objects.
    7-USE the following query to find out what object Oracle is trying to
    perform recovery on.
    select owner, object_name, object_type, status
    from dba_objects where object_id = <object #>;
    8-THIS object must be dropped so the undo can be released. An export or
    relying on a backup may be necessary to restore the object after the corrupted
    rollback segment goes away.
    9-AFTER dropping the object, put the rollback segment back in the init.ora
    parameter rollback_segments, removed the event, and shutdown and startup
    the database.
    In most cases, the above steps will resolve the problematic rollback segment.
    If this still does not resolve the problem, it may be likely that the corruption is
    in the actual rollback segment.
    At this point, if the problem has not been resolved, please contact
    customer support.

    Yes we were having the performance issues when it is getting locked? in this what i want to know
    why it happens suddenly?
    or what package this piece of code is calling?
    or is there any possiblity of system will degrade the performance like sys user etc...?
    where exactly i found the root cause for further analysis?
    so that next time onwards if particular objects is locking we come to know why it happens is there any logical false or how do we eliminate this issue last time?
    coz in our environment sometimes most of lockings are from the same table?
    pls let me know where i have to concentrate for debug and how to troubloshoot and reslove this
    sorry for the inconvience.. i m expecting the answer from here. if anybody wants some more info i ll let him know.
    as of till now i got some docs i start to read this.
    Regards
    M.Murali..
    Note: will system/sys degrade the performance ?if so how ?

    how can I reset my phone all setting and data off iphone 4without passward

    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
