Being the latest version of Windows to come from Microsoft, Vista has many new features which has made it one of the most popular operating systems on the Internet. However, it still relies on a part of your system called the 'registry', which is often referred to as the "Achilles Heel" of Windows - the registry. To fix this, you just need to use a registry cleaner, but with Vista being so new... which one is the best?
Registry cleaners have all been designed to do the same job, except some of them do that job much better than others. They have all been developed to clean out a part of your computer called the 'registry', which is the central database for your PC. This database stores all your settings and options for your computer, allowing Windows to save everything from your desktop background to your latest emails, even if it's turned off and on again.
The registry is one of the most well-used parts of your system and unfortunately, it's also where most of the problems for your computer are born. Because Windows is constantly using 100's of different registry files, it's always getting confused about which ones it has open. This makes it confused, making it save them all in the wrong way, making the files corrupt and damaged. This makes them incredibly hard to read, slowing your computer down and causing errors.
To fix this problem, registry cleaners have been developed to clean out all the corrupted files from the registry database. However, because Vista is so new, many of the old registry cleaners simply don't work on it. The best Vista registry cleaner is one which actually scans through your registry, finds the most problems and fixes them all for you. And as Vista has introduced many new features to Windows, it's important that you have a cleaner which recognizes which files it should clean and which it should leave.
That's why you need a cleaner which is up to date and ready to handle all the latest problems that Vista will throw at it. These type of cleaners are normally created by professional developers, who have the time and resources to continually update their software. Cleaners such as RegAce are in this category, and are extremely effective because they know the latest Vista problems, so they can fix them all instantly.
From our experience, the best Vista registry cleaner is one called RegAce
Uninstal.exe is a Windows uninstall program. But in some specific set of conditions, the process might replace FAT32 MBR, thereby resulting into inaccessible primary partition (usually C:) of system. Such situations require performing steps like recreating the primary partition and reinstalling Windows. So, to restore the lost information, you should use your recent data backup available or scan your affected hard drive by using powerful data recovery applications.
Consider an instance, you try to run Uninstal.exe in real mode, but instead of expected behavior, you encounter an error message describing that Winundo.dat is missing or damaged. The error further gives you an option to continue. Clicking either of the options (Yes or No) gives you the below error message:
"Invalid system disk"
This error appears after the system restarts.
Cause
The above behavior is exhibited when the following set of conditions is true:
You have converted your primary drive to FAT32 file system using Drive Converter utility
You have run Uninstal.exe from Windows startup disk or restored it manually
You have run Uninstal.exe in real mode
Or
You have installed Windows
You have used a third-party disk partitioning utility
You have run Uninstal.exe
In the former case, running Uninstal.exe replaces FAT32 MBR with backup of FAT16 MBR and you observe the above error messages. However, in the latter scenario, the issue is observed if partitioning utility affects the partitioning structure of the disk.
Solution
To resolve such issues, you need to perform these steps in order:
Recreate you primary drive using utilities like Fdisk.exe
Reformat the primary drive
Reinstall Windows and other applications
Restore data from backup
At times, you cannot restore from the present data backup. It might occur if backup is damaged or not updated completely. Thus, to cope up with such situations, you should use data recovery software. These are advanced data recovery tools built with indigenous technology to safely recover the lost information from logically crashed drives. Such tools provide you interactive user interface, powerful recovery features and several other added characteristics.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a premier application to recover and restore lost data that supports Windows 7 (currently in RC 1), Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000. This read-only data recovery Software provides powerful features like Disk Cloning, Disk Imaging, Drive Status, RAW File recovery etc. It is compatible with FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems.
File Systems
EXT 2 is the historical system of the Linux platform and was marketed in 1993. It has since been replaced by E 3, which has added some new features including the most notable being the logging. EXT3 is the default file system for most Linux distributions.
Like many other UNIX file systems, the main structure is very similar to the original UNIX Fast File System (FFS). The score is divided into groups of cylinders, and each of these groups contains initially Superblock, Group Table, the data bitmap, a bitmap node, node files and data. However, more recent versions of E 2 and Group 3 have hollow cylinder that contains only nodes and data files.
The EXT file systems 2 and 3 have a fixed number of nodes file and they are drawn on the score by the superblocks and Group Tables. These nodes files are data structures containing information about nt files stored in some file systems:
* The file type
* Access rights
* Owners
* The timestamps
* The size
* The data block pointers
The pointer data block are the node which sends the data file on disk.
The first twelve are pointing to the physical blocks of data. The first 12 fields (out of 15) contain the addresses of the first 10 blocks of file data (with an address block). If the blocks on which point the first 10 fields are sufficient to contain the file, the fields 11, 12 and 13 are not used. H owever, the three point to indirect blocks of data (single, double and triple indirect ion s). L a simple indirect ion contains the address of a block of direct pointers (called block address) as shown in the diagram. Thus, the address block contains pointers to data blocks (256 pointers). The double indirect ion points to a single block containing single indirect pointers. However, this block of addresses is pointing to 256 blocks of data it points to other blocks of 256 addresses. These are the 256 blocks of addresses that point to 256 blocks of data. L ogiquement triple indirect ion points to a block of double indirect pointers (to follow the same reasoning as above). This can be very difficult to visualize, but basically every step of indirection allows the amount of data to be sent to the exponential.
XFS
XFS was originally developed by SGI in 1993. The project was to overcome some limitations in terms of performance and extension of the FFS. This is a file system journaling 64-bit high performance. It was first published in 1994 with IRIX V5.3 and 2000, SGI released the source code open. It was then formally included in the Linux kernel since 2003. The structure of XFS is very similar to that of FFS at first sight. It keeps the system of cylinders Groups splitting the partition, but the groups named for the award and he also uses superblocks and filesystem nodes to contain the metadata files, but the similarities in content and stop functioning at that level .
Unlike FFS, the file system does not have a fixed number of knots of pre-allocated files on disk. In its place, each group should monitor the allocation space and dynamically allocate nodes file according to the needs expressed by the file system. These nodes files are organized in a balanced tree B +, which makes traversing the directory structure much faster than the traditional list system implemented in FFS. However, to maintain high performance, the B + tree is kept balanced thanks to a grant of intelligent nodes and files it requires relatively advanced algorithm. The nodes also use XFS file extension (run lists) to send data instead of treating the individual blocks of data as FFS, and it adjusts to the best size for your important files.
XFS journaling also provide an opportunity for recovery of file system in case of crashes and power outages. However XFS reviewed only the file system metadata while the volume can be repaired and loaded on it and can still be a cause of data loss.
Another feature of XFS has delayed allocation. First, the data are stored in memory. Then these data is actually written to the file system where the cache is cleared by the operating system. This method of allocation wave allows for a certain delay in the action to obtain the necessary data to allocate the most intelligent way possible. The main advantages of this approach is the dramatic decrease of fragmentation, especially with files that grow slowly and often reduces the CPU overhead.
JFS (Journaled File System)
In 1990, IBM produced a first draft JFS with AIX version 3.1. Later in 1999, IBM brought it under OS / 2 and published a version of JFS in the open source community and in 2006 was the stable version of Linux.
The philosophy behind the design JFS is comparable to that of XFS. They aim to overcome many limitations of FFS performance in a very similar way, although recent implementations are different. Both file systems use metadata logged to provide the file system is a possibility of recovery, nodes dynamically allocated files and extensions to address the area of data and also the diagram of the transverse B + tree. For more information, see the section XFS.
LVM
Managing logical volumes (in English, logical volume management or LVM) is a method to overcome some limitations of using traditional methods partition to allocate storage space on the media. Generally the features included are:
* File System Spanning and software RAID (Level 0, 1 and 5)
* Resize volume groups and logical volumes
* Photo (the hard disk and partition are concerned) or snapshots
Traditionally space on hard disks is divided into partitions on which file systems are written directly. LVM works a little differently, the disks are always allocated using them, but they are considered "physical volumes" on LVM. Hard drives, hard disk partitions, RAID volumes or logical units from a SAN form the physical volumes. Then we concatenate these physical volumes in "volume groups". The volume group can then be allocated to a form of logical volumes on which file systems reside. The diagram below shows a relatively simple example of how LVM could be used.
Nowadays, cases of UNIX versions of adopting their own variations of LVM are very common. According to the seller they have names and different functions. Linux also has an LVM which is based on the Hewlett Packard UNIX version. One feature missing on both the HP and the Linux LVM is that they have no implementation to manage fault tolerance by gender, so no software RAID 5.
Windows 2000, 2003, XP and Vista have an equivalent system called Logical Disk Manager, which offers similar capabilities.
Kroll Ontrack's engineers have the expertise and experience to recover data from your UNIX and Linux systems, either a single terminal server or a RAID 5.
Whatever the situation of data loss, Kroll Ontrack is using the tools and techniques of the industry to ensure a quality service unmatched. Here is a small sample of the types of problems that we get regularly:
* Kernel panic and machines that can start more
* Formatted or deleted partitions
* Files and folders deleted or missing
* File systems that are corrupt or not loaded (to mount)
* Crash of the system and fsck failure
* RAID configuration lost / damaged
About UNIX - Linux
* UNIX
UNIX is an operating system multi-user, multi-tasks originally developed in 60 years by the laboratories AT & T Bell. Most UNIX is written in the C programming language and is therefore capable of operating over a wide range of architectures. Equipment suppliers, such as SCO, SGI, IBM, Hewlett Packard and Sun offer their own version of Unix to run on their high-end server.
* Linux
Linux, sometimes called GNU / Linux is an operating system POSIX. The GNU project began in 1984 with the aim of creating a free version of UNIX. The project lacks a core operating fully until 1991 when a 3rd party kernel called Linux was launched by Linus Torvalds. The Linux kernel is normally published in conjunction with various packages from the GNU project and other sources. Thus, the main success of Linux is its modular design, the user can adapt its own systems to the Linux kernel.

Backing up data is an important issue. Users do not want to lose data. Data loss is difficult to compensate. Therefore, reproduction of data is important. I accidentally deleted files, errors ... There are many data backup tool. A data backup program on your computer, CD or DVD, external hard disk drive or USB flash drive as possible. But this path can be expensive. This is done through online data backup. Online data backup or data will be saved only for this file is stored via the internet means.
Online data backup easy means that your folders or data are saved or stored through the use of an internet. One may store and restore folders on an online account by just easy downloading the program given by a absolute website. Once the said program is installed in your computer, your folders are already secured. For all that, in this type of online data backup, one must all the time have an internet connection when using the computer.

Recover deleted files on Linux (Ubuntu)
Posted by ALMeD Labels: Data Recovery, images, jpeg, ubuntu recovery
sometimes if you happen to be a little head in the air and delete files on your Windows PC, there is a plethora of apps to recovery files (even those deleted from the Recycle Bin).
Aaaaah, fear no more because it is also possible to simply retrieve the files through a command line tool called Foremost, which was originally developed for the special investigation service of the U.S. Air Force ...
Recovering a deleted file from a simple concept ... when you delete a file, only the pointer to it is broken but it is not immediately re-écrabouillé with other data. The file is still physically present on the hard disk. Obviously, the longer you wait before you recover a file, it most likely to disappear forever.
I will speak with Ubuntu is because I use distrib. I do not know how it goes for other distrib but in principle, it remains the same. To install Foremost, you must activate the Universe repository and enter the following command line (or via Synaptic):
sudo apt-get install foremost
Then you must know the partition where you want to recovery files. (eg /dev/sda1)sudo foremost -w -i /dev/sda1 -o /recovery/foremost
For example, to retrieve deleted jpg images, you must type:sudo foremost -t jpeg -i /dev/sda1
Foremost will then create a directory named "output" in which he put all the files recovered. Obviously, if the images have begun to be crushed, you'll get half of the images but it is already ...There are obviously lots of other options but the recovery ennoncer here would be too long (and I do not master all) but I recommend you read the man page Foremost here.

The test protocol
Height of bad luck for us but perfect condition to illustrate this article, we have been able to "enjoy" a serious failure relegating one of our PC to the state of wreckage or almost. Indeed, for completely unknown reasons it has definitely ceased to function by taking the same time all the data stored on both disks MAXTOR S-ATA I Diamond Plus 9 with a capacity of 80 GB each and only 14 old months. Our disappointment subsided, we used one of these two discs (the second drive had a mechanical failure too serious to the point of not being detected properly by the bios on the motherboard) to test the software to recover data as GetDataBack, Undelete 5.0 R-studio ...
We went even further by adding in our protocol, the human factor, ie by carrying out various operations on other discs test: formatting, repartitioning, suppression of voluntary programs and / or files, fragmentation of files and finally deleting RAID cluster, all with the sole aim to be as close as possible the actual conditions of use of most of us.
For this reason we have used hard drives Western Digital Raptor 74Go as MAXTOR Diamond Plus 10 250GB P-ATA on which we installed Windows XP Pro SP2 and a variety of programs (games, utilities, miscellaneous, office, multimedia, etc ...). For RAID 0, two disks of 160GB Barracuda 7200.07 S-ATA Seagate and mounted in the following machine:
* 2x512 MB DDR 400 2.2.2.5 of Corsair TwinX
* Motherboard MSI K8N Diamond SLI nForce 4
* Map 3D RADEON X800XT PCI Express Asus
* DVD-ROM and DVD-ROM NEC ND-2500A
* Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.07 S-ATA 200GB NCQ and for the operating system disk and P-ATA Barracuda 7200.07 200 GB in a housing mounted 5 ¼ inch external FireWire 400/USB 2.0 for storage of data recovered.

Hard Disk: Maintenance and Data Recovery - 1
Posted by ALMeD Labels: Data Recovery, Maintenance CD, Recover Damaged CD
Introduction
Obviously, it is possible to make a backup of your data by several methods: optical engraving (CD-RW/DVD-RW), backup to external media (hard disk, USB, tape, ZIP, etc ... ) or create a disk image ... very active on most recent motherboards, RAID 1 or RAID 0 +1 is a very good solution to control fault tolerance, provided, however, have two disks identical to a minimum.
Although the hardware failure is a major cause for loss of data, it is a more frequent human error. Whatever the cause, in both cases, you lose your data. But perhaps not entirely. Indeed there are solutions to recover data and although we do not offer "the" miracle solution 100% reliable, it is possible to minimize a risk of loss and also to maximize the chances of retrieving data. We shall therefore in this article give you practical advice on basic maintenance on your hard drive. We will also review two software to recover data. As you can see, our goal is not to be comprehensive and test every software available (they are many) but simply to clarify you on how to manage your disks and show you that it is always possible to recover data that was thought lost ...
Step One: (My CD is dirty!)
1) If it is dust, take a soft cloth or cotton and gently rub the CD (or DVD), taking the CD with your finger in the central hole. Do not touch the surface engraved!
2) If the DVD is fatty or oily, mix baby shampoo in very hot water and use cotton (clothing or soft) to rub the surface of the CD recorded with this solution. Wait while the CD is dry before you read it or store it in its box.
5) Do not rub the CD by following the direction of rotation of the latter but still rub the hole center to the edges with several return.
Despite the intensive cleaning, your DVD player still refuses to play your CD! Do not panic, this is still not completely screwed!
There are software programs that can help you recover your valuable data:
1) CD Check - Detects and recovers damaged files on CDs. CD Checks can also be used to test the proper operation of your CDs and prevent any problems.
2) Unstoppable Copier - Available for Windows and Linux. It is a freeware that can copy files from CD with a few concerns such as bad sectors, scratches or that just causes errors when reading data. Normally with Windows, when your computer can not copy a damaged file, it will give up and remove the small piece of data they managed to copy. Unstoppable Copier will prevent this and continue copying until the end. Each data innaccessible will be replaced by a blank.
3) IsoBuster - Supports CD and DVD. It has tons of options for data recovery and the standard version is free!

The symptoms of a missing file are pretty obvious (you won’t be able to find it), but the symptoms of file corruption can run the gamut. Some of the symptoms of file corruption include
-
A file that won’t open when you click it; the operation either puts you at an hourglass or does absolutely nothing.
-
You see the file you want to open in a folder list but when you try to open it, you’re told the system cannot find the file or it’s not a valid file.
-
A file opens with a wide range of error messages, not all of which indicate corruption.
-
A file opens to display what appears to be garbage characters as if you opened the file using the wrong program
-
As the file is opening, a low memory warning appears, or you’re told you cannot open the file because you have too little available memory.
-
Windows prompts you to tell it what program to load this file with, when the file is of a type already associated with and recognized by that program (such as .doc files in word processors).
-
Your application exits spontaneously every time you try to open a specific file or group of files.
-
Your application, previously open and working fine, displays odd behavior each time you open a particular file.
-
You have problems saving other files from an application that are open at the same time as a corrupted file.
-
Closing a suspect file seems to improve the performance of the application.
You may experience such problems as an isolated incident (one important file won’t open), or as a cluster, where all files of a particular type appear to be damaged. You might also see that only files created on or near a specific date are affected.
Regardless of the situation, you’re in a mess. You feel you must either accept the loss of the file as gone forever or you’re stuck redoing hours’, days’, or even weeks’ worth of effort. Or you could sit and bemoan the fact that you never did that backup of your files you kept procrastinating.
None of those options sounds ideal, do they?
But you can sometimes turn a no-win scenario around by knowing some of the tricks of the trade in file recovery.
In previous chapters, you and I have discussed
Your PC, its hardware, and its relationship with the Windows operating system and its installed applications
How to protect your system and your data
How to stabilize and resolve various problems you’re likely to experience—either as part of a disaster or as a situation that quickly degrades into one
Let’s tackle the vexing problem of file and application recovery since this is one of the most common, time-consuming, and aggravating issues you may face as a computer user.
When information professionals (the folks charged with protecting major companies’ data) develop plans for dealing with catastrophes, they usually classify potential disasters into several categories. These include:
Hardware Failure Hardware failures occur when a critical piece of hardware, through some flaw or because of serious wear, ceases to do its job.
Human Error Human errors occur when a user unintentionally causes the damage or creates conditions that cause it.
Natural Natural disasters include hurricanes, storms, floods, and earthquakes.
Man-Made Man-made disasters can be any situation that doesn’t fall into the other categories. These can include a worker or family member simply taking out his or her frustrations on a PC or network in a way that may render the system inoperable.
Political/Situational These types of disasters are usually defined as acts of terrorism or sabotage or as the result of riot-induced vandalism.
Thankfully, most of us are far more apt to see natural, human error, and hardware failure disasters than the other types.
But before you start to relax, understand that even the most common disasters can have expensive and incapacitating effects. You’ll read more about this in the next section.
Profile of a Disaster Risk: The Intrepid Upgrader
My friend Kevin is the epitome of someone with more enthusiasm about what his PC can do than willingness to learn how to handle things well and keep them running that way. Although he needs his computer for the business he’s setting up, he tends to take a number of unnecessary risks that frequently leave him either unable to use some part of his system (usually the modem) or stuck with a system that won’t always boot up.
While Kevin keeps his physical system immaculate (you’ll never find dust, for example), his tendency to download and install everything he sees often confuses his Windows configuration and leads to problems running applications. Add to this the fact that whenever Kevin hits a snag, he reinstalls his operating system (losing the updated drivers for his hardware), and you can understand why my head starts to pound whenever he calls to say, “I’ve got this little problem.”
He likes to buy seriously older PC hardware on sale, and this leads to issues of compatibility, especially since he’s not familiar with hardware concepts such as jumpers and COM ports and drivers.
“Why can’t they make this stuff easier to understand?” he frequently bemoans in my ear after he drives his PC a considerable distance to have me get it operational again.
The last two times this happened, I made him promise to run a full backup or create a drive image (an actual image of the contents and structure of a hard drive) as soon as he returned home. Each time, he told me later, “I would have done it, but it seemed too complicated. But I’ve got this new little problem I was thinking you could help me with…”
Profile of a Disaster Risk: Lightning
It may be hard for you to picture the type of conflagrations often talked about in disaster recovery scenarios. After all, it’s hard to imagine your home or business obliterated in the immediate aftermath of a nuclear attack, bombing, or jumbo jet impact.
So let’s look instead at something that may occur hundreds of times a day around the planet and that can be responsible for a fair amount of damage even though it is so commonplace: a thunderstorm.
As your grandmother always told you, it isn’t the thunder that poses a problem but the electrical atmospheric changes and discharges that occur with lightning. Traditionally, the most violent storms occur when much cooler air moves into a region that has been oppressively hot. A turbulent clash develops, the energy of which must be dissipated somehow, and lightning is the result.
Have you ever seen ball lightning? While this is a rare occurrence, anyone who ever observes this arcing, fiery plasma ball of light and power begins to respect the kind of force that any type of lightning can carry.
Ordinary lightning can hurt your home, office, and electronics both directly and indirectly. Even with some of the limited grounding built into both newer and older homes, energy from lightning can travel inside your home or office, travel along your wiring, and damage the equipment directly, sometimes resulting in fire.
For those who remember or still use an outdoor antenna, you know that lightning can hit the antenna and travel in along the wiring into the back of the TV or radio and blow it out. Likewise, lightning hitting the phone line can send the charge shooting along the phone line into your home or office. In rare instances, it can kill a person talking on the phone when it does. If that phone line is connected to a modem that is in turn connected to your PC (the typical setup for a regular dialup Internet connection), the charge can enter the PC, frying the modem and sometimes frying the motherboard the modem is connected to. Since everything else in a PC is connected either directly or indirectly to the motherboard, the result can be a smoking heap.
Even if the lightning strike doesn’t occur immediately near your home or office, you’re still at risk because you’re connected to a string of other potential strike sites. For example, if your power substation takes a powerful strike from lightning, it can cause surges or at least create electrical ripples throughout the neighborhood the substation serves. The same is true when a car accidentally plows into a utility pole carrying above-ground power lines.
Other Potential Disasters
Also bear in mind that violent storms can bring about flash flooding, which may endanger basement and ground level areas where electronics may be located. Heavy rains can also send rain cascading into open windows and through poor roofing.
Not a lot of PCs—or TVs, stereos, kitchen appliances, and so on—survive being immersed, even when they are turned off and disconnected from power at the time the water reaches them. If they are plugged in and in use at the time the water hits, they short out and may likely become a total loss. Unfortunately, that’s the good news, because as long as the power connection is in place, the electronics pose a serious danger for electrical shock if you touch them or touch anything that touches them (for example, the corner of a metal desk on which a wet PC sits).
Types of Disasters
Believe it or not, much damage can also occur well after a storm is finished. Many people, especially since the Year 2000 scare when everyone was afraid the power grids might shut down, have installed backup generators for their homes and offices to keep at least minimal services available when the main power supply is out. But an improperly installed generator can send a powerful surge out along the power lines once power is restored, sometimes resulting in a second blackout or at least spotty power all along the line. Likewise, damaged electronics and appliances that weren’t fully killed before the power winked out may roar to life again once the power is restored, causing further problems or fire risk.
Where I live in a very rural area of northern New England, we often see “rocking” power, where a storm hits along the electrical chain and sends the power switching on and off several times a minute. Over time, even with protective measures employed, I’ve still lost some equipment to this kind of electrical misbehavior.
The message I’m trying to convey is don’t be scared of the potential damage but understand that it doesn’t take a terrorist attack or other horrific event to put you at risk. Mother Nature supplies more than enough phenomena to make emergency planning a necessity for everyone.

There are many sites to host the files online. But very few sites are reliable. These sites provide free or premium service. I'm sure you've heard about RapidShahre, SaveFile or BoxNet. Rapidshare the best of me. If you are premium members never delete files. Forever. You can host your files forever. Without danger of deletion. (but this mad world, everything can be)
