A Safer Way to Recover Damaged Partitions

By: Eugine Kharinskiy

Repairing corrupted partitions on is a risky business. Even if you use the best tools and are absolutely sure in your actions, you are still risking your data shall something go wrong. Changes made to the damaged disk are irreversible; it is simply too easy to destroy an important disk structure containing essential information about your disk, files and data. Bottom line: it pays to backup before performing data recovery. But is this really the best way to do it?

There is a different way to do data recovery that is even safer. No need to backup and restore during the recovery. Instead of making a backup copy of corrupted files, you can simply create a complete snapshot of the hard drive being repaired, and try the recovery with different settings as many times as you need on this snapshot instead of the real disk.

SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor by SoftAmbulance.com is one of a few data recovery products that allow working on a binary image of a damaged disk instead of repairing the disk directly. The data recovery tool lets you create a virtual image of the damaged drive, and works with the virtual image instead of the real thing. The virtual image is a large file stored on another hard disk, CD, DVD or other media. The technology is similar to making an .iso image of a CD or DVD disc, only SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor extends it to partitions or even entire disks.

The drive copy may be virtual, but any data you recover from it is for real. SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor can recover your files, documents and other data from the virtual image and put it on a healthy media. After that, you can attempt recovering the damaged system structures of the corrupted drive without taking any risk at all. Any modifications will be performed on the virtual snapshot.

Don't rush the recovery. Don't take the risk of losing or damaging your data. Create a binary image of the drive being repaired, and work on that image instead of accessing the corrupted drive. This procedure keeps your original data safe, and ensures the highest level of safety during the data recovery.

SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor recovers files from damaged and corrupted disks and partitions and fixes corrupted drives. The partition recovery tool supports all 32-bit versions of Windows, and fixes FAT and NTFS formatted hard disks, memory cards, CD and DVD media, and USB flash drives. The trial version is available for download at http://SoftAmbulance.com/
