?S.M.A.R.T. failure ? How to correct this Hard Drive Error

03 Jan

S.M.A.R.T. or Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the with the aim of anticipating failures. It keeps check on the internal health of the hard drive. It checks the hard drive upon certain factors of reliability like heat, spin-rate noise level, damaged sectors etc. Thus we can take preventive steps on the basis of S.M.A.R.T. reports and rely on it.

The hard disks with SMART may prompt an error at each startup, like:

“WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent. SMART failure predicted on primary slave.”

The user should not ignore this error message. If not taken care of, the failure is inevitable and then comes the need for Hard Drive Recovery solutions. If taken care of, such hard drives give… Read More

 
 

Computer Viruses

The computational viruses amazingly can adaptate themself to the changing world as the true ones. Before people carried their data on flopy discs and viruses chose the same way. Nowadays the e-mail adresses become fashionable and viruses spread by hiding in electronical letters. Uncountable many different kind of viruses exsist and they are getting more and more harmful. There are some that can desable whole networks. But not only the viruses that threaten the computer and its users. There are malwares , hackers and the person

Computer Virus

02 Jan

In 1983, Fred Cohen coined the term “computer virus”, postulating a virus was “a program that can ‘infect’ other programs by modifying them to include a possibly evolved copy of itself.” The term virus is actually an acronym for Vital Information Resources Under Seize. Mr. Cohen expanded his definition a year later in his 1984 paper, “A Computer Virus”, noting that “a virus can spread throughout a computer system or network using the authorizations of every user using it to infect their programs. Every program that gets infected may also act as a virus and thus the infection grows.” Computer viruses, as we know them now, originated in 1986 with the creation of Brain – the first virus for personal computers. Two brothers wrote it (Basid and Farooq Alvi who ran a small software house in Lahore, Pakistan) and started the race between viruses and anti-virus programs which… Read More

 
 

Dbase Repair and Recovery – How to Restore Lost Dbf Data

01 Jan

Dbase has been hailed as one of the best advancements in the realm of developmental platforms. A large number of applications are designed using Dbase and its various versions, and as such rely on DBF files, the file-type designed to be used with Dbase and related application development programs such as FoxPro. While a great tool that exponentially speeds up the process of application development, Dbase is not without its problems. One of the biggest challanges faced by any developer using Dbase is the unexplained corruption of .DBF files. This often jeopardizes an entire project, and countless hours of hard work, especially when no backups exist for the file. As such, DBF file repair and recovery is a necessary addition that any developer needs to make to his/her repertoire of Dbase related skills.

How DBF Files Get Damaged:

DBF files are some of the easiest ones to… Read More
