Why Do Computers Crash or Become Corrupted?
There are a number of problems that can cause even the most
mild-mannered of computers to suddenly roll over and play
dead. One of these causes is the well known “fatal error.”
Nearly every PC user has seen those dread-inspiring words at
some point or other, and it always heralds a computer
shut-down and lost information.
There are areas in your computer system’s hard drive that you
as the user are generally not able to access or influence.
These forbidden areas are protected to prevent computer users
from accidentally wandering into a sensitive area and giving
commands or making decisions that could end up damaging the
computer. Unfortunately, sometimes a program will foray into
this forbidden zone. To prevent this system from being
damaged, the computer shuts down in self-defense. As a result
of this forced shut-down, often information is lost that might
be difficult to retrieve.
Another cause of crashes in computers is called an “infinite
loop.” True to its name, an infinite loop refers to a computer
getting stuck in a process that resembles a dog chasing its
own tail. In essence, the computer is programmed to repeat
certain commands over and over again until the command has
been fulfilled or the requirement met. Normally this is not a
problem; the command will be fulfilled and the computer will
continue to function normally without the user being any the
wiser. Sometimes, however, for various reasons, the computer
will be unable to fulfill the repeating command. The looping
command will continue to cycle over and over again, and the
computer will be unable to perform other functions normally.
This unfortunate event often appears to the frustrated
computer user as a “freeze,” when the computer sits idle and
is unresponsive to commands. This is particularly frustrating
because the computer user has no choice but to force a “hard
shut-down,” turning off the computer manually and rebooting.
This is especially irritating because the computer user knows
that they destroyed their information with their own two hands
with the hard shut-down, but there was no other alternative to
cause the computer to begin functioning normally again.
Another potential cause of a computer crash is sometimes
called “thrashing.” This happens when a program or other user
action requires more memory and capabilities than the computer
normally has to offer. In an attempt to fulfill the need and
continue functioning, the computer tries to “borrow from Peter
to pay Paul,” and steals resources from another running
process. The problem, of course, is that that running process
now needs to find resources from somewhere. Eventually, every
running program and process will be running on depleted
resources and will be attempting to borrow extra resources
from another source. Finally, every running process will be
starved for resources and memory, your computer will tucker
out, and you will experience a crash or perhaps a “blue screen
of death.” When your computer is back up and running, you will
find that some of the information you were working with has
Similarly, there are a number of causes of file corruption on
your computer. One possible cause is a virus, Trojan horse, or
worm inserted into a file that you download and open on your
computer. Even when you use anti-virus software and exercise
caution when downloading items from the internet or opening
email attachments, it is sometimes possible for these bits of
malicious code to slip through your security and wreak havoc
on your computer. When that happens, some or all of your
computer files may become corrupted and become impossible to
File corruption can also happen during a freeze or crash,
since this is not a normal shut-down process. When information
is open when the computer is shut down abnormally, it is
possible for the information to become corrupted.
Even when information has not been corrupted by an abnormal
shut-down process, your computer system may flag that
particular data as being possibly corrupted, in order to
protect itself from further difficulties. If this happens, the
data may not be actually corrupted, and yet you will be unable
to access the information.
Other causes of corruption can include hardware errors,
improper start-up procedures, and other minor-seeming issues
that occur over the life of your computer. Nearly all
computers will experience some file corruption and data loss
throughout their useful lives. Fortunately, products such as
Recover My Files can assist in bringing back some or all of
the information that goes missing or becomes corrupted as a
result of these computer problems.
Can Recover My Files Retrieve Deliberately Deleted
Recover My Files is also able to restore items that you
deliberately deleted, believing that you would not need it
again, or information that you thought you were sending to the
Recycle Bin that ended up being completely deleted instead.
Under normal circumstances, when we delete information on our
computer, it is sent to the file known as the “Recycle Bin.”
The Recycle Bin is an accessible folder that usually appears
as an icon on the desktop that often resembles a trash can or
recycling container. If you accidentally send material to the
Recycle Bin that you later discover you will need again,
recovering the material is simple. You need only to click on
the Recycle Bin icon on your computer desktop, and you will
find the missing material in the Recycle Bin folder. You can
restore one of all of the items contained in your Recycle Bin
with a simple mouse click. Unfortunately, if you have already
emptied the Recycle Bin, this will not be possible. Even if
you did not intend to empty the Recycle Bin, you may have used
a disk clean-up process in order to create more space on your
hard drive, and this process may have emptied the Recycle Bin
without you being aware of it.
Additionally, it is possible for deleted items to bypass the
Recycle Bin completely. Some items such as uninstalled
software will not end up in the Recycle Bin. Additionally, if
you delete email messages and also delete them from the
“Delete” email folder, these messages will be permanently
deleted without ever being sent to the Recycle Bin. Since we
often become accustomed to the convenience of locating deleted
files in the Recycle Bin, we are often surprised to learn that
a certain piece of deleted material bypassed the Recycle Bin
completely and has simply disappeared. When this happens, the
deleted material cannot be easily recovered by a mouse click
to restore the Recycle Bin items to their rightful places. The
deleted files seem to be lost forever. This is where Recover
My Files comes to the rescue.
When you empty the Recycle Bin, or when you delete an item
that bypasses the Recycle Bin, your computer marks those files
as reusable space. It does not wipe clean the place where the
item was stored. Instead, the operating system ceases to
recognize the file as a file, and instead recognizes the file
as a place where new information may be stored. If you take
measures to retrieve this deleted data before your computer
saves a new file on top of it, it is often possible to
completely restore the deleted file. If new information has
been saved to the computer since the deletion, there is a
possibility that the deleted material will not be recoverable.
This is why it is important to act with haste to recover
deleted files when you discover that you have accidentally
deleted information that you will need again.
The trouble is that it is difficult to restore a file when
your operating system does not recognize the file anymore.
This is why it is useful to use a product such as Recover My
Files to locate and restore your deleted files. If possible,
download Recover My Files to a separate drive than the drive
on which the deleted material is located, to avoid
accidentally destroying the deleted material before it can be
How Can Recover My Files Help to Restore My Computer?
No matter how your files got lost or become inaccessible on
your computer system, there is a good chance that Recover My
Files will be able to assist you in restoring some or all of
them. Recover My Files can be used to restore missing
information and files not only on your computer’s hard drive,
but also on flash drives, zip drives, floppy disks or smart
Recover My Files can locate and restore many different types
of files, but specific support is included for more than 200
types of files. Recover My Files can help you to restore
deleted emails, deleted documents, deleted archives, music and
video, as well as lost digital photos.
Recover My Files seeks out and helps to restore missing files
that your computer system is no longer able to read or
recognize. Recover My Files even is able to locate files based
upon their internal structure, no matter how the material has
been identified or flagged by your own computer system. That
means that even if your computer has marked a file as free
space, and even if the reference material to that file has
been erased, Recover My Files may still be able to locate and
restore those files. This ability differentiates Recover My
Files from many other recovery software programs that would be
unable to recognize and restore this information.
Once you have downloaded Recover My Files, you will be given
four different options of how your would like to search:
“Fast,” “Fast Format Recover,” “Complete Format Recover” and
“Complete Search.” The “Fast” file search is an excellent
choice to try first. This option will locate files that have
recently been deleted and will take the least amount of time,
generally under two hours. The “Complete Search” will locate
not only recently deleted files, but their full file and
folder names as well as finding files that have been lost and
no longer recognized by your computer system. This process can
take up to eight hours depending on you computer. “Fast Format
Recover” will help you in searching for corrupt files or files
that have been reformatted. This process can take up to twenty
minutes. The “Complete Format Recover” option can take up to
eight hours and will help locate files even if you have
reinstalled Windows on top of the missing files.
Next, you can select which drive you would like to search. Of
course, if you goal is to recover files from someplace other
than your computer’s hard drive, you should make certain that
the drive in question is connected to your computer at this
time! Do not
be alarmed if your computer is unable to see or
recognize that drive from which you need to recover files. If
the drive does not appear in the list, you will still be able
to search the drive at a “physical level,” meaning that
Recover My Files will ignore which lettered drives your
computer can and cannot see, and will simply scan everything
looking for your missing files. Then, you will be able to
select the kinds of files for which you wish to search.
After Recover My Files has completed its search, you will be
able to review the names of the files that Recover My Files
has located and then click on them to open and review them.
You will then be able to save them to a safe place.
Once you begin to use Recover My Files, it will locate many
types of information on your computer system. Since every file
on your computer, even if it has been deleted, is included in
a master file table (MFT), Recover My Files will be able to
recover information that was listed in the MFT but not showing
in your usual user interface.
More importantly, Recover My Files will also help you locate
files that are not included in MFT records. This can occur
when the MFT has been damaged in some way. Not to worry;
Recover My Files will still work diligently to locate and
restore the information!
Unlike many other data recovery programs, Recover My Files has
a free download that will allow you to preview just what you
will be able to accomplish with Recover My Files software.
After downloading the free program, you’ll be able to perform
a scan of your drive and determine which deleted files can
then be recovered. If you can see the missing or deleted
files, then you know Recover My Files is the way to quickly
and easily restore your lost data to your computer. The
results window will also provide you with an indication of the
likelihood that the file will be able to be recovered. If you
are able to view part of the document in the preview pane, it
is likely the document will be able to be recovered.
Only after viewing these results and understanding the
likelihood of recovery will you need to decide whether or not
to make a purchase. At this time, you can decide whether to
register Recover My Files and purchase an activation key in
order to save the recovered files. This can be accomplished in
very little time so it will not be necessary to wait in order
to recover your missing files.
Losing important information can be a hassle, but your data
does not need to stay lost forever. With the user-friendly
software offered by Recover My Files, the lost information
that you thought was irretrievable may only be a few clicks
