One of the most popular e-mail programs being used these days is Microsoft Outlook. Outlook is actually a bundle of programs performing a variety of tasks. Outlook has the following functions: E-mail, Calendar, Contact Database, Journal, Notes and a variety of other functions. It stores backup copies of these files in a database with the extension “pst” (Personal Folder File) on servers, desktops, laptops and hand held machines. Similar databases exist on the e-mail server. Sent e-mails, calendars, contact lists and tasks can also be saved. PST’s are highly customizable through options implemented by the end user or administrator. Messages may be automatically deleted at specified number of days after they are read or they may be automatically archived without the knowledge of the end-user.
The following is the path where Outlook data files are saved on your computer.
Default location of .pst file in Windows 2000/XP/2003 is
drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Have you accidentally deleted emails from Outlook? And now looking for a away to recover those deleted items. Well, you can easily recover those deleted emails using Mail Recovery Software. For instance if you have hard deleted an item using the SHIFT+DEL keys, here the deleted item do not move to the Deleted Items folder, these items are hard deleted, and you cannot recover them from the Deleted Items folder.
What happens when you delete an item in Outlook?
PST files are very complex database. When an item is stored in a PST file, the items are recorded in the database and there is an index that point to each item. When you delete an item or empty the deleted items folder, Outlook doesn’t actually delete the items, it just deletes the items listings from the index. The item is still in the PST, but unreadable because Outlook has no idea where it is without the pointer in the index. The space the item takes up is referred as whitespace.
The item is permanently removed if you compact a PST file or save any new data to the hard drive. One of the greatest disadvantage is that once the whitespaces reaches 20%, Outlook begins compacting the PST file automatically. On the other hand if the Deleted Items folder contains a lot of messages, Outlook begins compacting the PST immediately and the items will be deleted forever.
Thus, to recover deleted emails it is very important to act instantly otherwise you may end up losing all of your emails forever. After you have deleted an important email simply Exit Outlook and run the scanpst.exe (Inbox Repair Tool, an inbuilt tool which is installed by default on all Windows computer systems). The Inbox Repair Tool creates a backup and repairs the damage and recreates the PST. It usually works if you act immediately. If the problem is very complex like a PST file corruption due to virus, software malfunction, 2GB size limit, power outages etc… trusting reliable advanced email recovery software would be a better choice. Advanced Outlook Mail Recovery Software can recover your deleted/lost email messages, contacts and much more in just few minutes.

Just this morning a friend mentioned to me that his son had seen what is called the blue screen of death on his computer. This is an error screen that appears on computers using various versions of the Windows operating system. It happens when crucial files needed for computer start up are corrupted and lost. How does this happen? Usually this problem occurs just because there was a blip in the power during computer start up or while writing a file. This results in other files being half overwritten and this in turn creates a file that does not function. This is much the same as if you were to start writing one word then switch to writing another. The resultant word has no meaning.
So how does my friend rescue his computer that will not load without losing three years worth of videos? The problem is called file recovery and is solved by using a third party file recovery program.

When we use most word processing programs such as Microsoft Word we are able to back up from our mistakes by clicking on tools and hitting undo. This retraces our steps and replaces whatever we had cut out from our writing. When we delete a file on our PC directly there is no undo. We are faced with what seems like an incredibly stupid error. We have somehow managed to delete the information we had just spent hours and hours assimilating. Other times our error is less of a conscious effort and we delete files we need without knowing it. We do this when we empty our Windows recycle bin without first checking it over or if we uninstall a program without realizing they attached to that program were files holding several needed applications. For all these occurrences there is Undelete.
What is Undelete? It is a data recovery program developed by Disk Doctors.

Hard drive recovery should always be divided into two areas. The first is relative to a physical breakdown of your computers hard disk. This is much less common than you would think. Physical hard drive problems are pretty easy to spot. Usually there is smoke involved as the IC board that controls the drive has overheated. Hence the term fried hard drive. Other times a loud repetitive clicking for the hard drive implies a frozen magnetic head. Sometimes a hard drive simply fails to respond because its motor has failed. All of these symptoms are fairly straightforward. Clicking noises alone do not signify a physical crash. If partitions inside the drive are damaged the drive will search endlessly for them resulting in a repetitive clicking sound as well.
Hard drive recovery actually refers to the retrieval of data that is locked inside a failed drive. When this failure is cause by a physically broken drive the drive must be sent to a service lab for file recovery. When the drive is simply not working because operating files are corrupted a third party data recovery tool such as those offered at Diskdoctors.net will solve the problem easily. These programs for hard drive recovery as resultant from a logic crash can be used by anyone as a do it yourself data recovery solution. Read the rest of this entry »

When you want to shred private financial records such as bank statements or medical records how do you do it? If the information is not crucial in terms of security such as an old electric bill, you might just run it through a slicing paper shredder and toss the shredded paper away.

But what about private information on your personal or office computer? How does one dispose of that data?
