Data Recovery –
Most technicians know of software that with a push of the button will automatically recover data.
The problem with these types of programs is that you only get one chance to recover the data. If you run one of the automatic programs it's a 50/50 chance it will work and once it's run, that's it. If the program does not work the first time, you do not get another chance. The data is destroyed.
With Micro-Scope YOU DON'T TAKE THAT RISK!
So, while Micro-Scope will not do an automatic data recovery, it has a fix disc editor that will allow you to display and edit any section of the drive. Even hidden partitions that other programs could never see. Advanced search functions will allow you to define a physical range to searches for information on the drive. Including being able to create image files off of a hidden partition called the COMMAND REGISTER where you can find all the factory information like the master boot record.
These image files can be mirror on to other sectors to rebuild the damaged part of the drive. So the technician does not have to know how to write FAT 32 or NTSF file structures. Also Micro-Scope is not limited to the 65,000 cylinders.*
What Micro-Scope does provide is a disk editor that allows you to scan, display (and change if necessary) any portion of the hard drive contents including hidden partitions and sectors. In skilled hands, it is possible to rebuild the FAT and perform other recovery functions without risking the loss of all data.
*NOTE: It is not a fast process to manually recovery anything from a drive. We would not recommend that someone who is not familiar with the FAT or NTFS architecture (so that they know where the FATs are stored, where the Master Boot Record is, where all the information is and how to calculate where the partitions are and so on) attempt to use this feature without additional instruction.
