In imaging program of hard disk such like Symantec Ghost are used to make identical copies of hard disk. These copies either can be used as a backup of system file or make easy to transfer data from another hard drive. This imaging program also called ghosting.
If you are tying to use ghosting program in an incorrect process or use of ghosting programs can have very serious penalty of data loss because as the data previously held on the hard disk that is to receive the image will often be completely overwritten. This case is not always though, it can happen some times disk receive the image may be significantly larger than the original disk. Disk imaging of this type some times destroy the file system and root directory structure but some of the data that was previously on the hard disk may still be recoverable. Other problems can arises in Ghosting like imaging of system in the wrong direction, unforeseen program termination or system break down due to program defects or problems on one or more hard disks. It happens due to a bad sector.
Data Recovery from Ghosted drives is often complex and time overwhelming. You should frequently need to perform a substantial amount of examination on a hard disk before you even know if the data is recoverable. If your raw drive corrupted having corrupted partition in windows, check out some possible symptom are as follows:
• Invalid Media Type reading aborts, retry, and fail?
• 'RAW' is displayed by File system
• "Disk not formatted” Do you want to format now?" Pop ups may come
• 'weird' characters can shown in file name
• Pop Up with 'Sector not found' may come
We recommend that you should try data recovery or partition recovery programme , such as Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software. This Software is most advanced and powerful Partition Recovery Software. It supports FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems based partitions and volumes.

Generally normal person doesn’t know how and when hard drive got physical damage. Get some common symptom of hard drive damage like if your hard disk might turn or your drive is giving whining, grinding, clicking or high pitched noises that indicates head of drive might crashed. In case of a head crash, head grazing over the platters and converts the data in to magnetic dust. If such noises make loud sound, the computer might be immediately turned off. It should be immediately pulled off the power without wasting any time in shut down.
In Physical recovery of data storage medium is repaired and prepared to enable transfer of data from the damaged media to a secure media. If system doesn’t make any abnormal noise, then system data can be recovered by the user with the help of recovery software. As corrupted drive can be used as a slave drive to another computer and it becomes easy to recover data.
Normally user try to repair hard drive in normal environment as he doesn’t know that it is not safe to open hard drive in normal environment that why hard disk damage occur. It is well known that major damages cannot be repaired by the users. Dust might settle on it. This needs a safe and cleaned recovery process. Read / write head is placed just a few microns above the platter and any small particle of dust direct to an immediate crash.
That’s why damaged hard drive has to be repaired in a class 100 clean room. Class 100 clean rooms contain less than 100 airborne particles (larger than 0.5 microns) in one cubic feet of air. Some good data recovery companies work in such an environment like stellar. They protect the media in clean rooms while they carry out the repair process.
After Repair it needs recovery software which helps user for perfect recovery of data such software named as stellar phoenix windows partition recovery software.
That helps you to first in partition recovery after that search entire hard drive with different partition and you can recover data by each selected partition or selected folder and files. Software users or our client written testimonial of successful recovery of data from damaged hard disk.
Why we partitioned a hard drive?
To Divide the Isolated drive into different sections for better access or to improve the disk efficiency. As we know each partition will perform as a separate drive and it improve our management of work and we can run more than one operating system on a single system.
As it is true that partitioning on DOS and Windows based System improve hard disk efficiency. It happens due to FAT system used by both operating systems because it automatically assigns cluster size based on the disk size. If disk size is big, then cluster size will automatically larger. But the worst thing is that large clusters size contains more disk space can result useless disk space this unusefull space is called slack space. Get rid from this problem many software industries provide utilities to partition a hard drive.
By the use of these utilities, if in worst case data loss occurs during repartition of hard drive then try partition recovery tool or Software like Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software. As it is a common sign of system failure but be careful. Unfortunately any wrong action taken then data stored on your hard disk can be lost permanently.
If repeatedly a repartition is attempted the programs will not terminating properly and crashing before it finishes. It becomes necessary to know some common symbols of that may the cause of System failure:
• Corruption in logical disk structure
• Bad sectors on the Physical hard disk
• Incorrect software installation
• Unexpected termination while resizing partition
• Program crash due to power Failure
Where previously System would boot and will be in usable condition. But after that systems often refuse to start and may produce the following error messages:
• O.S not found
• Invalid Boot Sector
• M B R Not Found
• FAT Corruption or Invalid FAT
• Invalid Entries in Partition Table
• Physical Damage on Hard Drive
• Disk error
• Boot device not found
Sometimes Recovery of data from re-partitioned hard drives is often become complicated and time consuming. But Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software is the solution for above discussed problem. While Using Partition Recovery Software First we recommend to create a hard drive image and after that recover original partition and lost data.
What do you mean by NTFS File System?
File System word you might heared many times .But what is the basic function of fie system; we will explore her and how files got corrupted in NTFS Partition and what type of recovery solution available. File systems is the base to manage the files and documents which directly interacts to your hard drives.

That’s why your computer needs efficient file system if it didn't exist then your system will become too slow.
NTFS Stands for New Technology File System and now become the most commonly used primary file system which was introduced by Microsoft with different versions of Windows (NT/ 2000/ XP/2003 /Vista) Operating Systems. In Windows XP NTFS is the default file system for new installations, and to upgrade from a previous version of Windows, you'll be asked if you want to convert your existing file systems to NTFS.
Some Major Causes of NTFS Partition Failure
Now we will discuss on some points which makes corrupted or damaged to your Windows NTFS Partitions. NTFS Partitions can get damaged due to:
1. Hardware Breakdown
2. Software Downloads
3. Malawar attacks
5. Human errors
6. Power outages etc
To overcome this type of problems, user normally tries to repartition or reinstallation of OS of the system .But sometime these experiments become the major cause of permanent data loss. For NTFS Partition Recovery always choose a advance technology Recovery Software like Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software which can recover data either from hard disk or other external storage media like Pen drive, Memory Card, Floppy disk, Flash memory, Zip drives, mobile communicators, ipods, etc.
Software support recovery of NTFS partition -
• Infected with virus threats or due to malicious hardware breakdown, power failure or any other case
• Logical bad sector infected hard disk.
• NTFS and NTFS5 file systems.
• Encrypted or compressed files and folders (NTFS).
• Long file name and folder can be easily recognized and recovered.

So try this partition recovery software for of lost partition recovery .Your hands on experience will give a satisfaction of perfect recovery for that you need to download it and get recover your data.
Core file encryption technology EFS (Encrypting File System) provides solution to store encrypted files on NTFS file system and volumes. You can use encrypted files and folders as you used other files and folders.
In Encryption user can view encrypted file which is totally transparent to the user. This means that you do not need to manually decrypt the encrypted file before you want to use it. You can directly open and change the file as like with other files.
EFS are similar with permissions on files and folders which are given by user. Generally both methods can be used to restrict access of data. With these methods files can be prevented from reading although, an impostor who gains unauthorized access to your encrypted files or folders. If impostor tries to open or copy your encrypted file or folder he will receive an access denied message. Permissions on files and folders do not protect beside unauthorized physical attacks. If partition got corrupted due to virus attack then partition recovery software can solve this problem
You encrypt or decrypt a file or folder by setting the encryption property for folders and files just as you set any other attribute like compressed, read-only or hidden. If you encrypt a folder, all files and subfolders created in the encrypted folder are automatically encrypted. It is recommended that you encrypt at the folder level.
Windows different version like windows NT/windows 2000/windows XP/ windows 2003 supports compression on encryption of individual files, folders. Any Windows-based application Files can compress on an NTFS volume or can be read and written with some conditions. But due to unauthorized virus attacks some files in encryption or compression can lost .
To recover that lost files from NTFS partition stellar phoenix windows data recovery software is the best tool. To see the features of this software download it for trial purpose and recover partition.
Raw disk is data storage devices that directly interact with individual byte level it is a storage media which doesn’t need file system. It means that a user cannot access the files on the raw disk. Usually, many unexpected causes like virus attack, wrong format, system crash power failure or surge, can damage your hard disk or partition.
if you are going to format your systems with NTFS file system when your drive having a pop up windows “File System: Raw “then you can loose your data because it’s a symbol of hard disk failure.

Possible symptoms are:
If “file system: RAW” Pop up come
If you got either” disk is not formatted or” do you want to format now” like pop up
If file names converted into weird characters
If “sector not found” message come again and again.
After data loss then you attempt to recover some of your important file which you have lost due to accidental virus attack on raw disk or due to formation of drive
In this critical situation a complete recovery of raw disk and partition recovery is possible for you. But the first and important thing you have to be considered that: Do not make any change to the raw disk till your data is stored on your disk and can be recovered! If you have make changes to disks, then your system has higher risk of data loss.
It’s not necessary to go with data recovery services if you have not got any physical damage of hard disk instead of that you can use data recovery software which can easily recover your data.

FAT Stands for File Allocation Table and a MS-DOS based file system .This is also called primary file system for consumer versions of MS Windows .The FAT file system is measured comparatively simple from other file systems and because of this reason, it is a well-liked format for other storage medium like floppy disks, USB drive. The FAT file system is moderately simple and it is supported virtually by all existing Operating Systems for PC’s. This functionality makes them idyllic format for solid-state memory cards and a suitable way to share data between Operating Systems.
The consecutive major versions of the FAT format are named after the number of table element of bits: say FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32.
FAT Boot Sector Repair and Recovery of Data
Every partition in dos based windows called “logical volume" because it has its own volume boot sector, as a result does FAT partition. It is different from the master boot record file that controls the entire disk, but it contains similar concept. It is also called the volume boot record. Each partition boot sector contains: Volume Boot Code and Disk Parameter Block. If the FAT boot sector got corrupted or damaged, then data can not be accessed. In this situation, you can choose partition recovery software to repair the FAT boot sector or recover the data from corrupted partition.
Probable symptoms of FAT boot sector damaged:
• A Pop up may come like” Do you want to format the drive”
• A pop up come with "Sector not found" Message
• While reading drive Invalid media type can give the following options Retry, Abort, Fail?
• File names changed with "weird" characters
If Boot Sector file system got corrupted then it is a direct symbol of partition corruption got corrupt, it can be marked by “X" and can be recovered by Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software
