New dimensions have created and recreated the IT and the IT Enabled sectors. Technologically sound parameters and the ever-widening knowledge base has made available to us many innovations and advancements that were unimaginable even a few decades back. Recovering data from crashed hard drives was a bleak reality but now in a world where software rules the stock, effective data retrieval from corrupt and formatted hard drives is possible and happening.
Previous beliefs espoused that once the hard drive crashed, data stored in it faced deletion right away but this has been proved incorrect. When a hard drive becomes corrupt and stops reflecting its usual behavior, data accessibility is impeded i.e. the data stored in the files becomes inaccessible. The data that we assume is lost is basically stored in the form of clusters in the hard drive but the address indexes get erased. This hinders the system from locating and recognizing the files or the arrangement in which it was saved or stored. The presumably lost/missing data can easily be retrieved by employing a data recovery software.
In case of formatted hard drives, previous data can still be recovered if it has not been overwritten many number of times. Most of us misjudge the time taken by the Windows to format the disk as the time taken to wipe away the entire contents from the hard drive but in reality, the procedure is completely at variance to what we presume it to be.
The Windows takes a stipulated time to check the disk for errors in order to ensure that every sector on the disk can read and write correctly and simultaneously marks the bad ones in the file system. It is only after executing this task that it starts with the creation of a new, empty file system record which is placed at the beginning of the disk. The formatted disk appears blank as the data entry or the records of the previous file system gets deleted and renders the original files and directories inaccessible.
This very feature in formatting poses threats of data exposure and information security risks as the hard drives that are meant for disposal are in many cases not overwritten ample number of times to render data retrieval impossible. Once an inadequately formatted hard drive hits the wrong hands, grave consequences relating to data theft and illegal data utilization follows.
