Need not panic; reinstalling Windows does not lead to permanent data loss. Data can still be recovered using REMO Recover (Windows), a powerful Windows Recovery tool.
To be on a safer side and to increase the chances of recovering your lost data, first, Step away from the PC! The less you do, the more likely you are to recover some or most of the files with this application. The amount of data you would be able to recover depends on what was over written during the Windows reinstall. As once data gets overwritten it is impossible to recover using any Data Recovery Software.
What exactly happens when you reinstall Windows 2008?
When you reinstall Windows over the existing installation, the original system files gets copied to the hard drive and resets certain Windows settings to default values.
Usually when you reinstall Windows, ‘Documents and Settings’ folder will be reinitialized and the files in that folder will be deleted. These deleted files are recoverable if it’s not overwritten. Less fragmented files and data on larger disks can easily be recovered.
Recovering lost data from SCSI drive after re-installing Windows 2008
Using either FAT Partition Recovery or NTFS Partition Recovery components of REMO Recover (Windows) helps to recover the lost files in minutes in case of formatting, reinstalling OS, repartitioning or any other data loss disasters and helps to support your business continuity.
Steps in recovering data lost due to reinstalling Windows on SCSI hard drive
Follow the simple steps explained below to recover files lost due to reinstalling Windows 2008 on SCSI hard drive:
Step 1: Launch the REMO Recover (Windows) Main application either from start menu or from desktop shortcut, main application window is as shown in the figure a.
Tapes are the most popular and commonly trusted medium used to safeguard and archive data. Unfortunately tape backups on rare occasions do fail or need to have data migrated from them, hence creating the need for tape data recovery. Servers and personal computer tape backup systems using LTO formats including LTO1, LTO2, LTO3, LTO4, 4mm DAT, Super DLT, DLT8000, DLT7000, DLT II, DLT III, DLT IV, TK50/TK70, Travan, Exabyte 8mm, LTO and the various QIC formats can be rendered useless if the data stored on them is no longer accessible. We also support the major tape types and backup formats done in Microsoft tape backup, Veritas Netbackup, Arcserve, Legato Networker, Unix tape backup (cpio, dump and tar) and more.
If you have lost tape data due to software problems, backup failures, overwritten tape media, tape drive failure, or physical tape damage, trust the SalvageData tape data recovery experts to have the tools and resources necessary to salvage the data that others consider unrecoverable.
SalvageData completes more LTO data recovery, DLT data recovery and other types of tape data recovery cases than any other facility. We recover data from tapes experiencing a wide range of failures including:
Common Tape Data Recovery scenarios:
| Heat, Fire, Sunlight, and Smoke Damage | Damage as a Result of Aging (Past Warranty) |
| Water and Humidity Damage | Damage from Extreme Temperatures or Humidity |
| Impact Damage/Broken Cartridge | Internal Cartridge Mechanism Failing |
| Overwriting | Permanent Errors Residing Mid-File |
| Damage from the Tape Drive |
As with all data recovery operations, recovering data from tapes is very focused and encompasses essentially two recovery types - Physical and Logical.
Physical Tape Data Recovery is necessary when there is a physical problem with the iron oxides or plastic polymers which prevent the data from being read normally. This type of recovery may include dealing with issues such as decomposing magnetic coatings, cracked or broken reels/cartridges, broken/stretched/creased/twisted/folded tape, etc. While these physical issues are challenging to deal with, recovery from these type of cases can usually be achieved in nearly 100% of all cases.
Logical Tape Data Recovery is more challenging, therefore more costly. Recovering files logically includes recovering the data portion of a tape that was successfully recorded, but for now cannot be read. The recovery of these files often requires multiple passes using proprietary software to restore the file. The file fragments are pieced back together and the logically recreated file is written on the appropriate output tape.
Other forms of Logical Tape Data Recovery include tapes that were written with misaligned heads, and tapes that were mistakenly reinitialized. Each can be recovered, at least partially, using our exclusive software and procedures. With data recovery, you often only get one chance to do it right – so give it your best shot. Our in-house recovery service necessitates the shipping of your non-functioning tapes to our location in order for our technicians and engineers to assess what steps need to be taken to recover the data. Once we have determined what is recoverable and obtained your permission, the restoration begins.
After the process is complete, we ship the data back to you via your choice of media (i.e. External USB Hard drive, CD, DVD, or via a secure FTP connection of up to 2GB).
RAID Data Recovery | |
| How is a RAID recovery different from a single drive recovery? RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives) in most cases is a series of hard drives working together as a single volume or container. The benefits of this type of configuration are that it is fault-tolerant and quicker to access than a just single drive; However, when the array has issues and fails it is a much harder process to recover data from because now multiple drives (except RAID 1, or Mirror) contains the data structures. Most Common RAID Failures: Multiple drive failure at once, re-initialization of RAID array, configuration lost and or controller failure, etc. |  |
|
Even more critical than a single drive recovery the less “do-it-yourself” attempts to recover the RAID means typically a more successful recovery. RAID controllers have the ability to easily re-initialize the array even when just powering on the system and answering “yes” to update settings. Unlike a single drive this process could actually aggravate the recovery process and make it unrecoverable unless the previous array parameters can be found the data could be lost. | |

First our experts will create bit4bit disk image of each drive before taking any further steps. This enables us to contain the damage and recover maximum results. Then a full evaluation will start determining what needs to be done to recover the data structures. This can be anything from determining the stripe parameters from the drive headers and re-striping the array and extracting data sets (controller failure) or more significantly manually working on the hex code within the array to reversing the damage that may have been written to the drives (re-initializing the array). | |

Standard: $100 eval fee* per drive / Price starts at $500 per drive/ Eval Timeframe* 2-4 business days | |

Be confident our team of RAID experts working on your failed RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5,10 will recover your data and return it just as soon as possible. Our team of technicians has the skill sets and the tools needed to recovery your RAID first time! | |
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, often abbreviated SATA or S-ATA, is a serial link - a single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices. As an evolution of the older physical storage interface, SATA host-adapters and devices communicate via a high-speed serial cable.
Common SNAP Server RAID Failures include: dropping two or more drives from the array container. Losing one drive will result in RAID DEGRATION. Running the server in less than optimal performance can considerably complicate or totally diminish the basic concept of a stripe set with parity rendering the redundancy of a RAID 5, 10 or 50 useless after long term use at this compromised level.
The RAID Engineers at dtidata.com have the expertise to recovery data and write custom software on the fly to fit your recovery situation. Yielding the best results and highest recovery rates for loss of multiple drives or botched rebuild failures using in-house custom software configured and written on the fly to fit your data loss situation.
It is always important to read all FAQ's and technical information prior to performing a ROM upgrade on you perk controller.
If your RAID has crashed and you are not sure what the next step is consult with a data recovery engineer. We will provide free advice to help you not make the situation worse than it already is. Our job is to help you maintain or retrieve your priority data.
