HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is a means or a technology through which the Windows operating system communicates with your computer’s hardware. It efficiently manages the control of PC’s system memory, CPU, and hardware devices among various applications that directly try to access these resources. This also prevents several device conflicts or crashes. After running the Windows XP setup, you .. more …
In case of a Linux operating system based computer, sometimes, the system fails to boot following any unsystematic system shut down. The reason can be anything from a possible file system corruption to an operating system malfunction, but at the end of everything, it is your valuable data in the drive, that has been inaccessible and you need to run any Linux data recovery software to recover them .. more …
‘Undelete’ is an option to recover and restore the lost or deleted files form the computer by rewinding the operation. Without the in-built undelete feature, the retrieval of lost or deleted files is termed as data recovery and in Linux operating system based computers, it is popularly known as Linux data recovery.There are many file systems, which have the built-in undelete feature to reverse an .. more …
The Linux operating system is supposed to be the most regularly updated operating system among its counterparts. Apart from this fact, for its advanced technology and features, a large number of users prefer Linux. But, in Linux, the user can not get everything preloaded just like Windows. There is an unique command for each operation in Linux and from the long list of regularly used commands, the .. more …
For our convenience of storing data, in our Linux system, we used to make several logical file system(ext3,ext2,ext4 etc) based partitions to our physical hard drive. File system is a programmed set of rules, which is implemented for the storage, manipulation, hierarchical organization, navigation and access of the stored data through the operating system of the computer. Inside the partition, as .. more …
While working on a LINUX based computer system, sometimes, at the start-up or during the shut down, the system suddenly starts behaving abnormally. In the due course, an error message gets flashed on the screen and the system hangs. As all your data lying with the hard drive of the troubled system remains inaccessible, you have to look for any LINUX data recovery software to recover them back.The .. more …
The LINUX operating system is very much similar to UNIX and has derived many basic design principles from it. Day by day, LINUX OS has improved upon its previous versions and indeed has incorporated a number of distinguishable features over other operating systems. In LINUX, disk drives are mounted through file system volume label and not the device path. This is a newer concept applied in LINIX .. more …
MBR, the acronym stands for Master Boot Record. It is also known as the partition sector, that is the first 512-byte boot sector of a partitioned hard disk. MBR holds the primary partition table of the hard disk and your LINUX system boots only after the BIOS passes the execution of the machine code inside the MBR. Hence, any problem with the MBR directly affects the booting process of the hard .. more …
There are various techniques available in order to safeguard your valuable data, and disk mirroring is the most popular among them. It is the process of create an exact replica of all the data stored on your hard drive. You can easily convert your basic hard drive volumes to mirrored volumes, which replicates your data to prevent any sort of data loss situations. On Linux operating system-based .. more …
The ext2 (second extended) is one of the file systems of Linux operating systems. It is used in several Linux distributions and is the first choice for flash-based storage media such as SD cards, pen drives, etc. This is due to lack of its support for journaling, which minimizes the number of writes as the flash-based devices provide limited number of write cycles. Though this file system renders .. more …
