Recovery from formatted memory cards

Admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:08:00 GMT

Abstract: Is it possible to recover photos from formatted memory cards?Most of the formatted memory cards can be recovered using Disk Doctors Photo Recovery software (Mac Version) & Disk Doctors Digital Media Recovery (Windows Version). However, some digital camera's purge the storage media during formatting using low level disk formatting process, thus eliminating any chance of recovery. Since, there are wide ranges of digital camera models available in the market, it is not viable for us to categorize formatting process used in each digital camera model. We suggest you to download the free demo version and check for recovery possibilities from your formatted storage device. All you have to do is connect the card to your Mac machine via a USB or FireWire card reader and scan it. If you are able to recover files and preview them, you should be able to rescue them out of the memory card.

Is it possible to backup license after activation?

Admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:28:00 GMT
Abstract:
Once software is activated, some of the files are created to store license information.
The file created are *.41s, *.ent, *.key, *.rst with a file name "ddr".
After successfull activation you can create a backup of these files in a separate folder, in case the software installation goes corrupt or for any reason there is a requirement to reinstall the software then you can copy these files back to the {app} directory to restore the license from backup folder.
However you should keep these things in mind when you are restoring license.
a) It should be the same drive on which software was activated.
b) The drive is connected to same channel
If there are any changes to disk configuration the software would not activate with the backup license files.

Activation doesn't works it keeps asking to re-activate

Admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:27:00 GMT
Abstract:
All Disk Doctors ESD license's should be installed on fixed disk i.e. (IDE, SCSI, and SATA); if your hard disk has a separate logical drive other then the one where data has been lost then you should install the software on spare logical drive.
For example:
If data is lost from C: drive then software should be downloaded and installed on D: drive.
In case your system is having only one drive then you may
a) Attach this drive as slave to another healthy machine where you can install the software on master drive for recovery.
b) Make this drive as slave and attach a new drive as master (you may have to re-install Windows on the master) on the same machine where you can install the software again.
The software cannot be activated on a removable drive such as PEN drive, USB drives etc. as then there would be no meaning of copy protection of the software and the software can be carried and can be launched from anywhere which voids the license policy.

So even if you are able to activate the software on a removable drive, the activation would work till the time it is hooked to the machine. As soon as it is detached from the machine it would ask to re-activate if attached again.
So once you have installed the software on a fixed disk, follow the procedure explained here http://www.diskdoctors.net/ESD-Activation/ESD-Activation-mr.html
So once we receive the site code from you we would check the validity of your order and would process the site code to generate a site key for you to unlock the software again.

Activation problems on SATA drives.

Admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:25:00 GMT
Abstract:
When Data Recovery software has been installed on SATA drives, and if you connect a PATA disk to recover as secondary, software might ask you to reactivate. When you connect a PATA drive as secondary to the machine where only one SATA drive is connected, system would automatically take PATA drive as disk 0 and SATA drive as disk 1; this is because PATA drive is always given priority so automatically it becomes disk o. This is the reason why software is asking for reactivation as it has to be installed on a fixed disk.
This rather can be solved if you install the software on a disk(IDE or PATA connected as Primary Master) which does not changes its order after rebooting or any additions (drives), by changing the order of the drives by entering into the BIOS you can fix your slave and master drives and then you can reactivate the software on the main drive.

Once everything is ready and you are sure that your main drive is the Booting drive then only activate the software. To activate the software please follow manual activation process http://www.diskdoctors.net/ESD-Activation/index.html and send us the site code to support@diskdoctors.net

Recovering Outlook 2007 PST file

Admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:06:00 GMT
Abstract:
Microsoft Outlook 2007’s performance is slower if compared to its earlier versions Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003. In one of the articles on Microsoft Knowledge Base, it is mentioned that “You may experience performance problems when you are working with items in a large .pst file or in a large .ost file in Outlook 2007”. Microsoft has released an update for this problem and the update is available on this link Outlook 2007 update.
Please note: This update will not improve the recovery process while using Disk Doctors Outlook Mail Recovery (.pst). However, this update should be used to improve the performance of Outlook 2007 before any corruption. Installations, where already this update has been applied recovery process will be much faster on the corrupted .pst files.
To repair .pst files on installations where this update has not been applied before the corruption, the .pst file should be copied to the machine where Outlook 2003 is installed. Repairing the .pst email archive where Outlook 2003 is installed must improve the overall recovery process and even email import will be smoother in Outlook 2003. Later the file can be imported back to Outlook 2007 as well.
After importing, the .pst file back to Outlook 2007, you should consider creating an archive of the email folders, by this you will be able to split the .pst file and also would be able to control the .pst file size growing to unsafe limits.
Deleting unwanted junk emails, tasks, notes, and calendar items will also be helpful in controlling the .pst file size.

I have recovered lost emails using Disk Doctors Email Recovery (DBX) Software. But how can I copy the recovered emails back to the Outlook Express?

Admin — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:00:00 GMT
Abstract:
Once the repair dbx process is complete, recovered emails will be saved in an .eml format in the destination location selected by you. Now you just need to drag and drop these emails (.eml files) inside the desired folder of Outlook Express.
Drag and drop can be done by selecting the files (that needs to be moved to the respective folder in Outlook Express) and dragging the same to the desired folder. If the number of recovered emails is huge then select drag an drop .eml files in chunks as lot of memory is required inside Outlook Express to store emails inside .dbx email archive.
This process is fairly simple and can be performed without any problems.

Is it possible to recover missing files without sending drive out to any data recovery company?

Admin — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 21:46:00 GMT
Abstract:
Drive failures or inaccessibility of data is due to two prominent reasons
Physical Crash: When drive is making a ticking or a scratching noise due to age or bad parts, the aperture arm in the hard drive can fail, failed motors or the platters can become damaged and lose the data that they hold, and eventually is not getting recognized by the BIOS of your computer this type of crash scenario is termed as physical crash.
Logical Crash: This situation is far more common than physical damage. Logical damage is primarily caused by human error which includes accidental deletion of files, accidentally formatting drive and power outages may cause file system structures getting damaged. Causing a variety of problems, system crashes, or an actual loss of data.
So if you have deleted some important files and you need to recover them instantly without wasting your time to send the drive to labs, then you can use Disk Doctors Instant File Recovery Software to recover specifically deleted files.

Recover Re-formatted NTFS Partition

Abstract:
Before moving further we need to understand what we mean by Formatting & Re-formatting.
Formatting - When you accidentally or knowingly format any logical drive to the same file system again i.e. NTFS formatted again to create a NTFS partition, which means you again have chosen the same file system to manage your data.
Re-formatting - When we format a logical drive from NTFS to any other file system, at that time we actually are reformatting and resizing the drive and selecting a separate file system for the logical drive to manage the data. For e.g. a NTFS partition can be re-formatted to FAT16, FAT32 or Ext3FS etc.

Connecting Serial ATA drives
Serial ATA eliminates the need for master/slave jumpers by creating a single drive connection from the drive to the host or motherboard. This is called point-to-point connection. Another feature is the replacement of the flat gray cable that blocks airflow and limits the drive mounting locations. Replacing the gray cable led to improving the connectors from a 40-pin and socket connection to a simple snap-in ¼-inch blade and beam connection. These improvements may streamline the system build time by minutes per system, saving customers time and money.
