Question:

Is it possible for me to recover some data from a crashed SanDisk SSD drive which is inside my netbook computer? I have been using my netbook for quite a long time and recently I notice that it is working very slow. More specifically, my PC freezes a few seconds each time I attempt to access folders on the partition. Today, the situation becomes worse. The hard drive (16GB Solid State drive) seems badly corrupted and I can’t even access any files or folders. But I have so many valuable documents and media files being saved on the SSD drive. Please show me how to resolve the issue or at least recover the files off the SSD drive? My netbook is running Windows XP.

Answer:

As long as your SanDisk SSD drive haven’t suffered any physical damage, chances of SSD data recovery can be high. However, in order to maximize the chance of retrieving data from your SSD drive, the first thing you should do is to immediately stop using it right now and never let the drive suffer any physical damage. Because any new data you save on could quite possibly overwrite the old and make your data lost for good. Then it is recommended to use a third-party data recovery program and give a try.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery has some popularity in the market because of its strong recovery capability. Remo Recover Windows is another nice utility that you can take a try. Simply install the program on your netbook and let it have a free scan of the crashed/corrupted SSD drive. After that preview and recover found files if possible. Note: due to the nature of data recovery, it is almost sure that you won’t be able to retrieve all data.

If recovery apps won’t fulfill the task, keep your nebtook and Sandisk SSD drive in good shape, and take it to a data recovery company for services.

Question:

Please help me retrieve deleted photos from my Blackberry Bold. Just the day before the Blackberry cell phone for some reason deleted all of my photos. After the suffering happened, I involved too much time reading the phone manual and never found anything about lost file recovery. I really need these photos so can you get them back without sending the phone to the manufacturer? Please help give some BlackBerry photo recovery solutions! My phone is BlackBerry Bold 9900.

Answer:

It is never too late to recover your deleted pictures from BlackBerry. However, it is very important that you shouldn’t take more pictures or save new files to the memory card in the meantime. The fact is that each BlackBerry Bold phone (or other series such as Curve, Storm etc) is equipped with an external memory card (often SD card), when you deleted or formatted something off the phone, they are actually erased from the removable card. As a result, you can very often rely on a photo recovery software to recover deleted pictures from the smart phone memory card. However, as that has been suggested, to increase the chances of being able to recover pictures after they have been deleted you must not save any new photos, files or data to the BlackBerry phone (memory card).

As to third-party picture recovery program, you can take a try Stellar Photo Recovery –  both Windows & Mac versions are available. Just take the memory card out of your BB phone, and then find a card reader to connect it to your PC’s or Mac’s USB port. Almost all card readers will appear as a drive letter in “My Computer” of Windows when connected. You may use the BlackBerry photo recovery program to scan the drive letter and undelete the missing photos easily.

Question:

I accidentally erased several MPEG videos off my computer but they are really very important to me right now. I guess I must have put them to the Recycle Bin, and mistakenly get them trashed. I really have no idea what should I do now because as you know, trashed Windows files are permanently deleted. I am so sad now. However I still hope if there are some tech geniuses out there that can help me recover my deleted MPEG video files. The sooner & the easier, the better! Because I need them in preparation for the tomorrow presentation. Please help me out.

Answer:

Whether you’ve deleted important MPEG files by accident, or have lost or damaged MPEG videos because of one or more corrupted media devices, the program will bring all them back with ease.

MPEG has become the most widely compatible lossy audio/video format nowadays and is used in a large number of products and technologies. Perhaps the best-known part of the MPEG-1 standard is the MP3 audio format it introduced. Note: while there are always some errors (caused by both human and technical reasons) resulting in the data loss on our computer or any portable devices, so it is necessary to back up all the important data on a regular basis to avoid data loss.

Question:

Today I carry my Samsung NX100 digital camera to take photos of our second wedding pictures. It has been working great in the first 1 hour or so, and suddenly it stopped working because of this strange “DCF Full Error” message. Each time when I press the capture button, the DCF Full Error code displays on the screen and refuses everything. I thought it might be the battery issues, so I took the batter out and reloaded it and restarted my Samsung camera. Still the error popped out and wouldn’t allow me to take more photos or videos. Please help me fix the issue or at least recover photos off my Samsung NX100 camera? Note: I use my camera many times and this is the first time the error appears.

Answer:

The first thing you should do is – don’t let your camera & the memory card suffer any physical damage. The “DCF Full Error” code can appear when the memory card used in your Samsung NX camera is improperly formatted, thus lead to corruption or incompatibility issues. You’ll need to format the card in order to get rid of the error. Note: it is highly recommended to format the memory card via the “Format” option in your Samsung camera. Do not connect it to your PC or Mac and then format it as this may cause some problems.

The next step: if you want to recover the lost photos, try using some photo recovery software. One of the good ones is called Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery, both Windows & Mac versions are provided. Just install it on your PC or Mac machine, then connect your Samsung NX100 (memory card) and start the free scan process in order to find the deleted pictures.

Hope you good luck!
