Given how competitive data recovery is I know a lot of us have been forced to become SEO guru's as well as data recovery pros. I know I'm constantly on the prowl for places to drop the occasional link to a page for SEO. So I just thought I'd share some of the places I've been able to get good...

OK, this is the stuff that drives me crazy about a lot of forums. Anandtech is supposed to be a tech forum, which I constantly get flagged for "spamming" when all I'm doing is trying to help people who are hopelessly lost with their data recovery issues. Now I get a 3 day ban for this post...

Some of you may have read this article: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/02/ ... ce=twitter In which Kaspersky claims to have identified hidden SA code in common hard drives used to gain remote access to computers. So here's my thought, let's make this into a business opportunity. I know a...

So this forum is now incorporated with Tapatalk (as mentioned already in another thread). The name of the forum in the Tapatalk directory if you already have the app installed is "Data Recovery Forum". This will allow you to get push notifications of topics you are following.

I'm considering releasing a mobile app version of the forum, perhaps using Tapatalk plugin. That way you can get push notifications of threads you follow, etc. Is this something anyone would be interested in? Opposed to for any reason?

I'm happy to announce that Elena has made available a full unlimited trial of the software that will work until June for all of our forum members. You can download it here: http://www.reclaime-pro.com/data-medics.aspx And please do post your feedback and suggestions regarding the software here...

Anyone ever seen this before. It seems that a virus went and adjusted all the file sizes in the file table to be the same exact size: And do you know of an easy way to fix it without manually setting the values or having to resort to RAW recovery?

Saw a new error message that I hadn't seen before today. Had a Seagate ST9750420AS come in that properly shows model, serial, FW, but no capacity. All system resources backed up without any major issues (couple read errors on head 1 - no biggie). But I noticed the error: Media Cache...

When requesting firmware or Ldr's please first check the firmware server. If it isn't there, then post a request and be sure to provide the following information: 1. Full model of drive (Including after the dash) 2. Consolidated ROM version 3. Drive Family 4. System you are using (PC-3000...

Is anyone else here sick of the snow? We've had about a foot a week show up for the last month. My back hurts from shoveling, and I'm flat out of places to put the stuff. Looks like we're in for another storm this upcoming weekend too. :evil:

Looks like Seagate is finally getting serious about getting into the SSD market. http://www.maximumpc.com/micron_and_sea ... space_2015 I wonder what new and creative ways to fail they'll come up with. My guess, exploding SSDs. :lol:

So I've got a nice old classic 40GB Maxtor drive that ID's and reads fairly well in DE but is getting quite a few ECC error sectors. I know DDI (which I don't have currently) has a feature to read such sectors multiple times and build a composite sector. Have you guys ever found this feature...

Took about 3 hours of struggling with it but I finally got the last thumb drive on my bench to read. Hopefully the coming weeks bring more hard drives instead. I'm getting sick of breathing in solder smoke. :o

ARRRRGGGGGG!!!! I just hate when I get bad sectors in one of my target drives after a difficult clone. This 2TB was wiped and passed right before being used, and now after cloning in Data Extractor, R-Studio gets stuck at the 14GB mark every time I try to scan the clone. I'm gonna have to...

What do you guys think... I've got a 500GB WD SPider family drive model WD5000AACS-00ZUB0. It clicks, somewhat randomly (not a real steady click) and eventually spins down. Inside the platters look good from what I can see, the heads all look fine (even took them out and inspected). However I...

This is a subject that comes up often on the various forums, so I figure I'll just create a tutorial about it and when the subject arises we can just point people here. Introduction: When a hard drive is known, or assumed, to have bad sectors the first thing that you should ever do before...

In an effort to streamline the forum and make it less cluttered, I've made several of the forums into sub-forums of other main categories. For example the PC-3000, Deepspar, & Atola sections are now sub categories of the Data Recovery Tools forum. I've also added some sections such as new sub...

Did you guys notice that Seagate now has a new logo? I'm guessing the old one reminded too many people of the rings in their platters. :lol:

Anyone ever get to open one of these and see what's inside? I'm just happy they are being sold in Britain and not here: http://www.istorage-uk.com/diskashurdt.php
