The reason is that we as a USB using public do not “Safely Remove” the hardware before we turn off or unplug the devices from our computers.  A lot of the time this is due to the fact that Windows [...]

The problem most people have when using it is trying to figure out what goes into each of the fields. When a hard drive has a missing partition it is hard to know what is supposed to go in to [...]

Because of the specialization of this field of technology, a lot of the terms we [...]

Thanks for all the positive emails and phone calls. One email from Jim L in Dallas Texas asks: “you talk about partition repair, but the software doesn’t actually repair the partition, it recovers files from it. Is there anything out there that does repair partitions?” Well Jim while most people [...]

This may be due to a virus overwriting the original partition record, an accidental ‘fdisk’, operating system anomaly, software anomaly any other of a million reasons. We do have a solution though, that may be able to bring [...]

You will need to contact technical support for situations out side of that. The boot record is one of the keys to initializing the operating system. If this cornerstone has somehow been corrupted, or you are receiving error [...]

He could no longer see the second partition, and did not have [...]
