Furthermore, with it, we can accomplish data recovery easily. Detailed information can be got on the official website.

We have said lost data resulting from mistaken operation or software error do not disappear from the hard drive partition, and that they just can not be found or displayed by the operating system because of some reasons. Well, what reasons result in this result? Actually, when we manage hard drive partition, mistaken operation is most like to cause data loss, such as mistaken data deletion, mistaken partition formatting, mistaken partition deletion, and logical partition error. For those users who are familiar with data recovery, they know deleted data is just marked with a deletion mark which makes the operating system think that data has been deleted. And deleting partition means deleting its partition table record, which makes the operating system unable to find the partition through partition table. And partition error means mistaken operation damages internal logical structure of the hard drive partition, so the partition can not be opened normally. Fortunately, lost data caused by these factors can be completely recovered by MiniTool Power Data Recovery. This data recovery software offers different scanning devices according to different factors resulting in data loss, such as file allocation table scanning and cluster scanning. With the help of these scanning devices, we can recover lost data quickly and completely.

How to Rebuild MBR with 3rd Party Software

Most user have encountered that PCs refused to boot. MBR damage is a common cause. Most computer users know little about hard disk. In the past, actually, Rebuild MBR is privilege of professional staffs who have profound hard disk knowledge. How could common users rebuild MBR?

MBR is located in the first sector of physical hard disk. This sector is called Master Boot Sector (MBR Sector). The 512 Bytes MBR sector includes 446 Bytes system boot program, and 64 Bytes Disk Partition Table, and ends with “55AA” sign. Generally we can rebuild MBR with WinHex. WinHex is an advanced 16 hex editor special for computer forensic, data recovery, low level data processing, IT security, and other daily emergencies. Professional disk servicemen are using WinHex to restore disk. This picture shows entire 512 Bytes MBR. The blue zone is the 64 Bytes disk partition table, including 4 partition tables. Every partition table is 16 Bytes and includes partition master sign, system sign, start and end cylinder number, sector number, head number, number of front sectors and number of this partition sectors.

MBR damage usually is because of errors in Disk Partition Table which make boot program unable to find system partition. With familiar operations, we can use WinHex to rebuild MBR easily. Analyze the 16 Bytes in the first partition table: 80 01 01 00 0C FE FF FF 3F 00 00 00 41 29 54 02. The first 80 is the activate sign of partition, which means system is able to boot. If it is 0, it means inactive partition. The second 01 means head number. The third 01 means the start sector number. The fourth 00, means start cylinder number. Through analysis, we can master all information about partition. However, this way is too difficult for common users. Using MiniTool Partition Wizard that has graphical interfaces to rebuild MBR is a much simpler and faster way.

MiniTool Partition Wizard is professional partition magic that helps users finish all kinds of partition management tasks such as create partition, merge partition, recover partition, and dynamic disk management, etc. Rebuild MBR is just one part of its comprehensive functions. MiniTool Partition Wizard rebuilds MBR in a very short time. It saves time and money for users. It is very easy use rebuild MBR with Minitool partition wizard. First of all, select the disk to rebuild MBR in disk list, and then click “Rebuild MBR” in “Operations” zone at left. And then click “Apply” button after making sure of operations.

Using MiniTool Partition manager  to rebuild MBR costs very little time. Compared with WinHex, MiniTool Partition Wizard improves efficiency of rebuilding MBR. Therefore, if your computer needs Rebuild MBR, MiniTool Partition Wizard is the best choice for you.

How to Do SmartMedia Data Recovery

Users may know SmartMedia Card but know few detail about it. SmartMedia card is called SM card for short, which was released by Toshiba in 1995. Because of substitute of floppy disk, it was named as “Solid State Floppy Disk Card” (SSFDC) at first. With thickness of 0.76mm, SmartMedia card was once the lightest and thinnest storage card. SmartMedia card was widely used in electronic devices like digital camera at that time. It prevailed around 2001 and took up about 50% of the market share. However, it went downhill later. Along with the swift development of electronic products, the sizes of digital cameras became smaller and smaller and SmartMedia card was a little bigger for them. Besides, low compatibility also attributed to the decline of SmartMedia card. The earlier used digital cameras supporting SmartMedia card were not in support of large capacity storage cards and different types of storage cards had different read styles. Therefore, SmartMedia Card was not used so widely. Nevertheless, there are still some old cameras using SmartMedia card and they often go wrong, which causes picture losses in SmartMedia card. When encountering this situation, many users are unable to carry out SmartMedia recovery because there is little free data recovery software supporting SmartMedia card. But I recommend the professional one MiniTool Power Data Recovery which support free data recovery in various storage devices including SmartMedia recovery. Moreover, the operation is very simple. You could easily achieve SmartMedia recovery without any demand for data recovery technology, only following the instructions of the free data recovery software.

MiniTool Power Data Recovery is free data recovery software released by the professional software development company MiniTool Solution Ltd.. We can download, install and launch it. There are five function modules in the main interface.
1. “Undelete Recovery”: Recover lost data caused by accidental deletion and recover lost data emptied from recycle bin.
2. “Damaged Partition Recovery”: Recover lost data caused by accidental formatting and recover lost data in damaged partition.
3. “Lost Partition Recovery”: Recover lost data in lost partition.
4. “Digital Media Recovery“: Recover lost data in digital media such as digital camera.
5. “CD/DVD Recovery”: Recover lost data in optical disk like CD/DVD.

Here in this article, we will discuss how to recover data in SM card by using Minitool power data recovery software. We should first connect the SmartMedia card to the computer and click “Digital Media Recovery”. The next is to click “Digital Media Recovery”. Select SmartMedia card partition and click “Full Scan” to scan SM card. Wait patiently. If we click “Cancel”, we may not find pictures that will be recovered because data search is not complete.

How to Initialize MBR to GPT Disk

All of the users know that is a storage device which we use to store data. And computer disks are divided into two types in architectures including MBR and GPT. For common users, disks work in the form of MBR and GPT is rarely used. However, we should know something about GPT disk.

GPT disk, put forward in Windows Server 2003, is disk partition architecture based on the extensible firmware interface of Itanium computer. Compared with MBR, GPT disk has many advantages. It allows at most 128 partitions in every disk while MBR only allows at most 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions with an extended partition and unlimited logical drives. In addition, GPT disk has higher security and stability because the primary disk partition table can be used on redundancy in GPT disk and GPT disk supports single disk and partition ID. Seeing so many advantages of GTP disk, perhaps many users are eager to initialize MBR disk to GPT disk. However, it is not easy to initialize MBR to GPT disk. We have to resort to some partition magic. Searching on the internet, we can find a lot of partition magic. But not all of them could initialize MBR to GPT disk. The inferior partition magic may destroy disk structure and cause serious losses. We must be cautious when we initialize MBR to GPT disk. MiniTool Partition Wizard, a professional partition magic, is recommended because it can help us initialize MBR to GPT safely without damaging disk.
And in the following, we will have a talk about how to initialize MBR to GPT. Run the software and you can get the main interface. Select the disk that will be initialized and click “Initialize to GPT Disk”, then click “Apply” to perform the operation. The following window is shown. We have successfully initialized disk to GPT by employing the function “Initialize to GPT Disk”. In the initialized disk, there is an “Other” partition which works as redundancy and improves disk security. But there is something should be noted. In order to initialize MBR disk to GPT disk, there should be no partition in disk. If there is, we need to back up data and then delete all partitions in the disk that will be initialized. Data backup can be realized by copying the whole partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard.

The partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard is so miraculous that we can perform comprehensive partition management operations with it. MiniTool Partition Wizard, published by the professional software development company MiniTool Solution Ltd., is professional partition magic with powerful functions. With it, we can perform basic and dynamic disk management operations. It supports MBR as well as GPT disk. By using it, we can create partitions and volumes, resize partition, merge partition, copy partition, perform surface test, etc. It can also be used to recover lost partition. Its wiping function helps us prevent the deleted data from being leaked. More information can be got on the official website.
