Beginner's Guide to Laptop or Notebook Data Recovery

Singapore, October 9, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The invention of laptops in 1981 by Adam Osborne redefined the boundary of convenience for computer users across the world and changed the digital industry for good. The portability of laptops and notebooks means users are no longer restrained to a fixed location in order to do their work. Checking emails; drafting documents; and preparing presentation slides can be done on the go, effectively breaking into a new frontier of mobile computing.

In the short span of a few decades, mobile computing has gone a long, long way, and seen incredible growth. Notebooks and laptops are reducing in weight and size while doubling in performance every few years. Unsurprisingly they have become commonplace, a necessity in for both school or for work. Even the face of entertainment and storage is forever reshaped by the addition of mobile computers. Hyper-realistic games swarmed entertainment stores, waiting to be picked up by avid gamers, while invaluable information, personal or professional, are stored in computers – the digital equivalent of a deposit box.

As reliable as they seem to be, electronic products have a limited shelf life and are doomed to fail after a certain time. Unexpected circumstances, such as wire trip or liquid spill, could damage the computer and even lead to loss of important data. In the worst-case scenario, your data drive may be rendered inaccessible for good. This risk runs higher among notebooks and laptops as they are usually shuffled between workplaces. And as they get more powerful and are capable of storing a greater amount of important data, data loss goes from a mere annoyance to a potential disaster for the user in question. 

One thing you can consider is to read up on the emergency data rescue guide, which will provide enough information for you to make an informed decision – if you should decide to pursue data recovery or accept that your data is lost forever. If you do, the types of file systems that can be recovered include FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, HFS/HFS+, UFS1/UFS2, Ext2FS/Ext3FS, amongst others. File recovery is possible for most types of operating systems, from Window 8 to Windows 3.x, and from Macintosh to NetBSD DOS. And don’t worry about your laptop brand and model. The brand of a computer does not affect data recovery, and the likelihood of successful recovery work is equal for a Fujitsu laptop or an IBM computer.
