		<description><![CDATA[Okay, you have tried everything you know how to save your dying hard drive but the information on it is just too valuable to risk mucking around with it anymore. But when should you seek out a professional data recovery service? When your data is stored on a storage device that doesn&#8217;t belong to you. If the hard drive in your company laptop or staff desktop goes bad, you can save both your information and your possibly your job by having a trained data recovery specialist check things out. The information or data on your hard drive is worth over a $1000 in either replacement time or the cost of lost production.

		<description><![CDATA[If you ever need to test the function of your hard drive, then you should learn how to use this great free disk-checking program included with your Windows system. I love ScanDisk. Honestly, I do. As a computer support specialist with over 18+ years of experience, I often had to use this great little utility. It&#8217;s fairly powerful, works on all versions of Windows and best of all is free since it comes bundled inside Windows. So what is it? ScanDisk is disk-checking and diagnostic tool that you can use to test your hard drive. It can also be used repair problems on magnetic media; hard disk and floppy disks. Why use ScanDisk? It&#8217;s a very easy to use program and even the most non-technical person can learn how to use it. It can quickly fix most common disk errors. And I did mention it&#8217;s installed as a part of Windows so it is always available. If you can boot into Windows, then you can use the program. How to use it in Windows 98/98SE/Me: 1) Close all programs. 2) Click on the &#8220;Start&#8221; button. 3) Go to &#8220;Programs&#8221; 4) Scroll to &#8220;Accessories&#8221; 5) Click on &#8220;System Tools&#8221; 6) Select &#8220;ScanDisk&#8221; 7) Now locate and select the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are another seven signs of eminent hard drive failure. If your hard drive is having any of these seven symptoms then you must take immediate action to backup your files&#8230; “Back up my hard drive? How do I put it in reverse?” ~ Unknown While doing regular backups is very important, sometimes people believe that backups are some kind of magic bullet so they let themselves get over confident and let bad hardware issues get out of control. By paying attention and seeing if your machine is experiencing any of these seven signs of eminent hard drive failure, you may be able to save yourself hours of wasted time and an expensive repair bill. Sign 8 - Disappearing files and folders. As a drive goes bad it will often display subtle indications of trouble. One of the most overlooked are &#8220;vanishing&#8221; files or folders. If you notice that you can never find your files anymore or that folders you &#8220;know&#8221; were there are now gone, then your hard drive maybe slip sliding away.

		<description><![CDATA[If your hard drive is having any of these 7 symptoms then you must take immediate action to backup your files&#8230; &#8220;I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.&#8221; ~ Isaac Asimov Like the late, great Dr. Asimov said, we shouldn&#8217;t worry about computers taking over but be more concerned when they fail us and take all our important files with them. A computer&#8217;s hard drive is the central storage within the system and its failure will bring all practical functions to a complete halt. If your PC is experiencing any of the following signs of impeding doom then you must run (not walk) and grab CDs to burn backups of all your essential data. Sign 1 - You hear high-pitched whining, loud clicking or grinding noises coming from the drive. A normally operating drive will make a smooth &#8220;whirling&#8221; sound as is spins up or down. But if a drive has a grinding or clicking sounds (the Read/Write heads scraping too close to the magnetic platters), then your drive is sick and is on the way out. Sign 2 - You see the infamous &#8220;Blue Screen of Death&#8221;, repeatedly. BSODs (Blue Screens of Death) are actually [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your hard drive is fading into the West. You hear all manner of grinding sounds coming from it and it&#8217;s working slower than an accountant doing an audit. So you grab your wallet and bounce down to the local electronics store to find a replacement. Whoa! You get inside and are dazzled and dazed by the sheer number of hard disks&#8230;you didn&#8217;t think it would be this difficult. All you want is something affordable and reliable but where to start? Performance vs. Capacity When you are out shopping for a new drive these are the two main factors you should take into consideration. Performance is based on a computer&#8217;s drive controllers (connector types), the rotational speed and access times of the drive itself. Capacity is basically a question of storage space and whether or not your current system can recognize and handle it or not. Know your connector type Modern computers can have several different styles of controller interfaces (connector types) and this will greatly determine what kind of drive you can fix into your machine. The current standard is the IDE or ATA drive. ATA drives can have ATA/66, ATA/100 or ATA/133 connections. Every ATA slot can operate 2 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Technology&#8230; is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other. &#8221; ~C.P. Snow It&#8217;s an accepted fact that hard drives are the weakest link in computer technology. The hard disk is where the operating system and all software applications are stored. Because of this, a properly working drive is essential in the operation of any computer. But since these drives are basically just an electro-mechanical devices, and like any other machine they will eventually breakdown and fail. And then oops, without backups, all your family photos, legal documents and important emails are gone! There are three levels of data or file recovery for a dying or broken hard drive: 1) Basic Level: The drive is working (your can hear it spin up but it will not boot to Windows) This usually means that some essential Windows files have been comprised or damaged in some way. With the right software you can view your files and even copy them. You have to choices&#8230; Use a Rescue CD: You can grab a bootable CD with hard drive utility software already installed on it. You can then make repairs or [...]]]></description>
