A superblock in Linux operating system comprises of critical information (type size, and status) related to file system. It also includes information about the metadata structures. Since, the superblock contains such vital information, Linux always maintains at least one copy of the superblock in the file system. This enables the user to overcome the hazards caused due to corruption of a superblock. But, the problem continues when the superblock becomes corrupt and the copy of it is inaccessible or corrupted. In such situations, your system becomes unbootable resulting in inaccessibility of hard drive data. In such cases, the data saved in the hard drive can be accessed easily using a Linux Data Recovery software.
Consider a practical case, where you attempt to boot your Linux based system, and you receive the below error message:
“EXT3-fs: hdc1: could not mount because of unsupported optional features (40004000)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1, or too many mounted file systems.”
Your system becomes unbootable after the above error message pops up. In such cases, the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible.
Cause:
The root cause of the above bootable error message is bad/corrupt superblock. Corruption in superblock can occur due to improper system shutdown, operating system malfunction, and virus infection.
Resolution:
Below are some steps that might help you get over above error message:
Use the alternative superblock for booting. If the alternative superblock is itself corrupt, then you will need to rebuild the superblock and run FSCK command. However, if the issue persists, then you need to format your system.
Formatting guarantees complete resolution of the above problem. However, the only problem with formatting is that it also deletes the hard drive data. This problem calls for an effective Linux Data Recovery tool that can recover data even after formatting. Such Data Recovery Linux utilities are downloadable from the Internet. These tools can be installed and used by even a non-technical user.
Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is a solution for recovering deleted data after formatting. The Linux Recovery utility is competent enough to recover lost, deleted, and formatted data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2 and FAT file system based volumes. Supported by almost all Linux distributions, the tool allows the user to save the recoverable data at required location.

Are you getting- “Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt SYSTEM32NTOSKRNL.EXE” error while booting up your Windows computer? Is your system unbootable and you are unable to access hard drive partitions and stored data? This behavior is caused by corrupted boot sector of Windows computer. It leads to critical situations of partition loss and you need Windows Partition Recovery to retrieve lost Windows hard drive partitions.
For a Windows computer to boot up properly, the below conditions must be true:
MBR (Master Boot Record) exists and it is safe.
Partition table is intact and it contains leastwise one active partition.
If the above conditions are fulfilled, executable code in master boot record selects the active partitions and then passes the control there, so that it can load appropriate files (NTLDR or COMMAND.COM) depending upon the file system.
However, if any of the boot file or MBR itself is either missing or corrupt, the system becomes unbootable. At this point of time, Partition Recovery becomes need of hour to work around the problem. Sometimes, when you initiate the emergency repair process of Windows computer, the below error message occurs before the repair disk recovers any data:
“Setup has determined that your file system is corrupt”
If you boot up your system using the boot disk of the operating system and use fdisk /MBR command through Windows Recovery Console, recovery process fails.
Furthermore, if any of the NTFS file system partitions is indicating as UNKNOWN in the Disk Administrator and partition is not the part of any Fault Tolerant (FT) sets. This also can be resulted by the damaged boot sector of NTFS file system partition.
Resolution
As stated in the above error message, if the problem is caused by a damaged file system, you can try fixing it through ChkDsk command-line utility. However, if the problem is caused by damaged boot sector, hard drive formatting and operating system reinstallation is required.
Hard drive formating is able to sort out most of the hard drive related problems, but it also removes all the hard drive partitions and stored data. In such cases, Partition Recovery Software are required to handle the situation.
The Windows Partition Recovery utilities are capable of performing absolute recovery in all cases of partition loss. They are quite easy and safe to use.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the best ever made solution to recover lost Windows partitions. The software recovers FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS5 file system partitions. It is usable with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP, and 2000.

The Ext4 (Fourth Extended File System) was released in Linux 2.6.28 as a functionally stable and complete file system. This is a journaling file system, which is a successor of Ext3 file system. Ext4 was developed as a sequence of the backward compatible extensions for removing 64-bit data storage limits. It is undoubtedly safe to use Ext4 file system in production environment, however, delayed allocation may lead to data loss situations. Also, it is not possible to completely prevent user errors, like accidental deletion of data. In such cases, Ext4 Recovery solutions are required to get your valuable data back.
When you delete files from the Ext4 hard drive volume or data is deleted because of formatting of the volume, the files remain physically intact. Deletion does not actually delete the files. It merely deletes the file system entries and file system pointers. Thus, operation system can not locate any files at a location and it declares disk space as available. But, you must know that the deleted files can be recovered by applying Linux Data Recovery methods.
You can easily recover deleted files from Ext4 file system volume through “Extundelete” utility. The utility examines file system journals and other Ext4 metadata to recover data, using ext2fs library. This utility is based on ext3grep tool. Extundelete is able to retrieve both the file name and contents of deleted file.
Although, Extundelete is a very useful and effective tool, but it can not guarantee absolute recovery of a particular file. Moreover, Extundelete can not perform Data Recovery Linux if the Ext4 file system journal is damaged or deleted.
In such circumstances, backup proves really helpful. It is the most excellent way to safeguard your data against all types of data loss situations. But, if the backup is not available or it is not updated, you may face grave situations of data loss.
At this point, it is possible to recover your precious data from Ext4 file system volume, through Ext4 Recovery Software. These are powerful third-party applications, which carry out extensive scan of entire Linux hard drive to ensure perfect recovery of lost files, directories, and hard drive volumes. The software have self-explanatory and simple graphical user interface and read-only conduct for easy and safe recovery.

Does your Mac OS X Finder hang? Does your Mac Finder crash, with an error stating- “The application Finder.app can’t be opened. -10810”? This problem mainly occurs when you attempt to access an external hard drive in your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard system. However, the problem may also occur due to a number of other similar reasons. This behavior of your Mac OS X system may render all your critical data inaccessible and lead to significant data loss scenarios. At this point, you are required to opt for Mac Data Recovery solutions through appropriate applications.
The problem occurs irrespective of how the drive is mounted, whether through network drives/shares or through various FireWire or USB ports. Sometimes, you may encounter problem for the network volumes, if you have shares mounted during waking from sleep. In a few cases, you can clear the error message by unmounting the shares which are using the Terminal.
The behavior also appears to be associated with faults in Launch Services characteristic of Mac OS X, since mostly it only occurs when you access “Open With…” context menu for files/directories on external drive. There are some methods that can come to your rescue and help avert hard-rebooting your system. For these recommendations, you need access to Terminal:
Unmount Hard Disk- If the drive is attached locally, power it down while it is still attached. Listen attentively to the sound of read/write activity then wait for the drive to silence, before you hit power.
Kill Dock and Finder Processes- Manually kill the Dock and Finder. This shouldreset and relaunch them.
User Terminal to Restart/Shutdown- If you have to reboot your system, then do so using Terminal and not by using the power button.
The problem can be something, which Apple Inc. have to address through an update, however it emphatically appears to be occurring to the subset of currently running Snow Leopard systems. When all else fails to perform Mac Recovery, format your hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system.
Although, formatting is able to fix most of such issues, it also removes your precious data from the hard drive and needs Mac File Recovery Software to be recovered. The applications perform absolute Data Recovery Mac in all logical data loss situations, through high-end scanning techniques.

Computer users, usually prefer to divide or distribute their data by creating different partitions on the hard disk. This enables effective management of data among different hard disk partitions. However, the task of memorizing information about the sizes and location of the hard disk partitions is done by a Partition table (part of MBR). None of the computer elements or components is exempted when it comes to corruption and the same is the case with partition table. Errors occur in the partition table, which causes its corruption. This may further cause inaccessibility of one or more partitions. Such issues can be resolved easily if you have an updated backup file, but if you do not have one, then use a powerful Windows Partition Recovery software to recover all your inaccessible partitions as well as the data stored in them. Take an example – While trying to boot your Windows Vista based system, an error message pops up that states:
“Error in loading operating system.”
After this error message pops up, the system fails to boot as it could not load or recognize the operating system.
Reason: The above mentioned error message may appear due to invalid or corrupt partition table, due to which it fails to boot as it could not find the files required to boot the system. A partition table may get corrupted due to various reasons like, virus, improper system shutdown, power surges, etc.
Solution: When you encounter such an error at the startup of the system, neither the system can be accessed nor the hard drive data. Therefore, to resolve such an issue, you will have to re-install the operating system and format the primary partition containing the operating system. However, this process results in deletion of all the data from the primary partition. And if you had stored your important data in that partition, then it is lost and there is no way to access it other than using a backup file (provided that you have one).
But, if you do not have any backup, then you need to opt for an advanced Partition Recovery Software to recover your lost partitions and your data. An effective Windows Partition Recovery software can do this task by employing its innovative and influential scanning algorithms.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a high-quality software that recovers all the lost, deleted or inaccessible partitions completely and safely. This Partition Recovery Software is capable of recovering data from FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS5 file systems. This read-only software works with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000.

Are you unable to mount your Linux hard drive volume? Are you facing superblock, inode, or file system corruption like error messages while booting your Linux system? Such situations are caused by corruption of Linux hard drive metadata structures. This behavior of Linux operating system renders all your significant data inaccessible and leads to significant data loss. In order to get your mission-critical data recovered, you should opt for Linux Data Recovery solutions through reliable tools.
In a practical scenario, you may encounter the below error messages after copying your data through ddrescue command-line tool and running e2fsck utility:
“Superblock has a bad ext3 journal (inode 8). Clear? Yes”
Or
“/dev/sdf was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Missing ‘..’ in directory inode 1785876. Fix? Yes
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Root inode is not a directory; aborting. e2fsck: aborted fsck.ext2 /dev/sdf failed (status 0×8). Run manually.”
After the above error message, you can not access your precious data from the hard drive. In order to get your lost data back, and to sort out these errors, you should perform Data Recovery Linux.
Resolution
The problem is caused by bad block at the starting of inode table. You can fix the problem by reconstructing root inode. It is quite easy to reconstruct the root inode, however the problem is that root inode needs to be placed at fixed location and currently a bad block is located there.
Forcing the hard drive to use spare block from its pool is possible, however a bad block is often an indicator of the beginning of hard drive crash. Thus, replacing the affected hard drive with new one is the safest way to recover from this situation. Use ‘dd’ command to copy data from old hard drive to new one. Then run e2fsck to create a new root directory on the new hard drive, and shift all the inodes, respectively.
If the above method does not solve your problem, Linux Recovery applications perform absolute recovery. They use high-end scanning techniques to methodically scan the entire hard drive and get all your precious data recovered. The Linux Data Recovery software come equipped with simple and rich graphical user interface to enable easy recovery.
Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is the most effective solution for all logical data loss scenarios. The software recovers Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 file system volumes. It is compatible with all major distributions of Linux operating system such as Red Hat, Debian, Fedora, SUSE, and Ubuntu.

In Mac OS X and all other UNIX-based operating systems, you can easily create backup of your critical data by creating the disk image through DD command. It is a command-line tool that creates a bit-by-bit image of entire hard drive on desired storage media. You can mount the disk image as a hard drive volume and access data from it. However, in some situations, the disk image can not be mounted and stored data can not be accessed. In such situations, you are required to opt for Mac Data Recovery to get your mission critical and valuable data back.
Generally, to create the disk image, your hard drive from which you are copying the files, needs to spin. What if the hard drive can not be mounted or accessed? As long as the drive spins, DD command can help you get out of trouble, even if the drive is physically damaged.
After creating the image of damaged or inaccessible hard drive, it is possible to quickly and easily restore data. The disk image is used as a backup of the original hard drive. After repairing or reinstalling the Mac OS X operating system, backup copy can be used for restoring data and making your system functional again.
It is quite easy, safe, and quick to perform Data Recovery Mac in case, any disaster happens. However, under some circumstances, you can not use the disk image created using DD command. For example, you may come across the underwritten error message when you attempt to mount disk image for accessing stored data from it:
“No mountable file systems”
The above error message renders all your critical data from the disk image inaccessible and leads to significant data loss situations. Data loss is something that can not be accepted in any case and you need to opt for recovery solutions to get your valuable data back.
You can recover lost Mac data in such cases through commercial Mac Recovery Software. The applications are specifically designed to carry out in-depth scan of entire hard drive and extract all lost, missing, and inaccessible data from it. The Mac Data Recovery tools have simple, self-descriptive, and rich graphical user interface to ensure recovery in most of the logical data loss situations.
Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery is the most advanced solution for all Mac data loss scenarios. It Recover Mac file from HFS, HFS+, HFSX, HFS Wrapper, and FAT file system volumes. The software is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6, 10.5, 10.4, and 10.3.9.

A system boot error message is a nightmare for any computer user. In most cases, the user is unable to bypass the error message, resulting in inaccessibility of information/data saved in the hard drive. A Linux based system too becomes unbootable after such error messages. Few main causes for the occurrence of boot error message on a Linux based system are improper system shutdown, incompatible upgrade of Kernel, boot loader corruption or improper upgradation, and virus attack. This error message can be easily surmounted if the user has maintained an updated backup. It allows him/her to restore the data and continue with his/her personal or professional work. But in case, a backup is not maintained or backup falls short of restoring data, then the user has no option, but to use an advanced Linux Recovery software.
As a practical case, below error message pops up when you attempt to boot your Linux based system:
“GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: the symbol ‘grub_env_find’ not found. Entering rescue mode… grub rescue> Please consider upgrading the severity of this bug to critical.” All the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible after the above error message pops up. Additionally, the same error message pops up every time the user boots the computer.
Cause:
The root cause liable for the occurrence of the above error message is improper upgradation or corruption of GRUB boot loader.
Resolution:
To resolve the above error message and to access the hard drive data, you will need to follow the below steps:
Install another GRUB from another system to boot your system. If that doesn’t helps, format the hard drive.
Formatting is one of the most common measures followed by most of the computer users to overcome any boot error message. The process installs a new file system on your hard drive and deletes all the entries of the previous file system, resulting in inaccessibility of all the hard drive data.
While most of the users think that the data after formatting is permanently lost, the fact is that it can be easily recovered by using an advanced Linux Recovery tool. Such Linux Data Recovery software easily recover all kinds of files from a formatted Linux based hard drive.
Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is an effective Linux Data Recovery tool that recovers formatted data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT file system based volumes. The tool supports almost all Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, SUSE, SlackWare, Mandrake, Gentoo, etc. The read only tool is available as demo and complete version
