Tune your PC for maximum Security and Performance

Tune your PC for maximum Security and Performance
The registry is a key component of the Your PC. It is so important, that without it, Windows may not STARTUP. PC users are not familiar with this part of the Windows operating system and it is often overlooked and neglected until the PC malfunctions or crashes.

So why is keeping your Registry clean so important? When a new piece of hardware or software is installed in Windows, it stores its configuration into the Registry. This allows Windows to retrieve that information at later dates such as when it is starting up.

As Windows starts it will read the configuration in the registry and know what drivers need to be loaded, what settings to be applied, and what resources need to be allocated in order for this equipment to work.

Because this information is stored in the Registry on your hard drive, Windows has this information available each time it boots up.

To explain how important the registry we will use the following example:

When you change your screen saver on your computer, the PC stores these details in the registry. It does this so that when Windows shuts down and restarts, it remembers your new screen saver.

You can see how vital taking care of your registry is. There are many software products on the market to help you do this. They ensure that your registry is always clean and in good working order.

The best product that I have tested is PC Optimizer Pro (http://www.pcoptimizerpro.com/ ).It has been in the market for years and seems to be a really intelligent effective tool to help keep your registry clean.

Why Do We Need Window Registry

This article will explain you about why we need a window registry cleaner and how it is beneficial for our window registry.

We all are using computers for one or other reason, somebody is using for studies, some for time pass or some for their business, but still many of us are still unaware of the word 'window registry'. So, come and explore the term registry with us.

Being unaware of the word window registry, you continue to work on your computer system, downloading software, opening different websites, ignoring pop-ups advertisements etc. And what, suddenly one day you computer will come across a registry error, your PC will collide. And after finding no other way, you will call your technician to look into the matter, who will charge a good amount from you. Well, still you have an option, you can be one of the users or you can be an intelligent one, who tries to find everything about window registry and safeguard its computer system from harmful adware and spyware.

What Is Window Registry?

In a layman language, window registry is term used for a program that is inbuilt in your pc and works like a backbone for the internal system of your computer. Main reason for introducing window registry is to store all the important operational information more efficiently in your computer system, so that hardware can access them easily. Window registry is the remote control of your pc programs, hardware and user information.

How Does Window Registry Works?

When you install or uninstall any software from internet or manually, the information related to it will be automatically imitated on your computers registry and get stored. If this stored information get changed or lost, it will cause lot of problems for your and your pc. So to keep your computer run effectively, you need a window registry cleaner. As it will kill all the interrupting elements from your computer and make it pest free.

Now you must be thinking what is window registry cleaner and how it can fix all the window registry errors. So here is your answer, window registry frequently come across troubles, but registry is powered to restore all the lost information automatically. Though at times the software you download modifies the windows registry in a way that it was almost impossible for registry to recover your program. And at time, you are not left with anything, apart from thinking, why I don't install window registry cleaner and safeguard my window registry from outsiders. So don't be a looser and give your registry a window registry protection.

How to Recover a Quick Erased CD-RW versus DVD-RW

Because of the different standards for rewritable optical media, in particular CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW, the state of the media after a quick erase is different. This state determines if it's still possible or not to recover data with any data recovery software tool for that matter.

There is some complexity involved and you may need to read this article twice ;-)
Mainly because of the different exceptions and the role of the software vs. hardware.

First maybe the difference between a full erase and a quick erase on drive level:

I'm intentionally mentioning drive level because in most cases it's the drive that executes a blank command sent by the software. So for the software it's more or less a "hit and run" command. Send it down and walk away or poll the drive till ready.

When a full erase command is issued on re-writable optical media then the complete surface of the disc is over-written with a neutral pattern (all zeroes or all 0xAA or something like that). The result is that all data that was once present is now gone forever. There are no magical tricks to ever find the data back, the old content has been wiped completely, not even in a high end laboratory with geniuses at work would it be possible to recover the data. Additionally, the disc's structures on the inside rings, which all drives use to determine the layout of the media , have been updated to resemble empty media. All references to tracks and session that were once there are now gone.

A quick erase is meant to be quick (duh ...) and therefore the disc's main data area is left unaffected, or at least mainly unaffected. All (or most) data remains present on the disc. What changes is the disc's structures again, on the inside rings of the media. All references to tracks and session are deleted and the media is left in a state which seems like empty media for a CD/DVD writer (in most cases ... read further).

So if the bulk of the data is still there after a quick erase ... what's the problem then you ask ?
Well, the biggest problem exists for CD-RW and DVD-RW (DVD dash / minus RW).

As I explained before, during a quick erase on drive level the disc's structures are changed so that a drive sees the disc as blank media again afterwards. And that is the big problem, an empty disc - as far as the drive is concerned - is an empty disc and the drive will not allow to read anywhere on the disc. All read commands fail immediately with drive generated errors. The drive doesn't even try reading on the requested locations. At this point the drive is the limiting factor, there is no way to circumvent this as it's not possible to tell the drive there is different media inside than what the drive sees for itself (*).

The only way (*) around this problem is to send the disc to a (possibly expensive) recovery lab that may have the right equipment to deal with it. As this is a by hardware limited problem, some labs have custom made hardware to deal with this specific problem.

(*) If I notice there is more interest in this then I will dedicate another article to this problem, in particular how a handy person with too much free time could try a few things.

There is one big exception for DVD-RW (not CD-RW) if the erase software works in the spirit of the DVD+RW standard. Meaning that the software doesn't issue a "quick erase" command but instead does the erasing by itself, like it would on DVD+RW. Read further to understand.

The big exception to all the above is DVD+RW (DVD plus RW). The designers of the format were clever enough to decide that there shouldn't be an erase function for this format at all. After all a full erase only adds to the so called DOW (Disc Over-Write) and thus reduces the quality of the media. If a full erase is truly required by the user then the application software can still simply write a neutral pattern over the complete surface of the disc with the same effect. And as a DVD+RW can have only one track in one session, changing the inner circle structures is not needed either. If there is a track already ... well then there is a track already .. why change that ? If one wants to write new content then the old data can simply be overwritten. Of course this also positively influences background format and other features I won't go in to now. In other words there is no erase command that an application can send.

If a user wants to quick erase a DVD+RW then the application software must be clever enough to simply write some neutral data over file-system structures (e.g. ISO9660 and UDF etc). And in fact that's what most applications do when they quick erase a DVD+RW.

The consequence is that for a DVD drive there still is a track after a quick erase, so this is not blank media, and if there is a track with a length then, data recovery software can send read commands and get data back. And a scan for missing data can yield to positive results.

Same as with DVD-RW there is a big exception. The reason is that in the beginning not all drive manufacturers understood the philosophy and spirit of the well thought out "no erase command" principle. So what they did was make sure that a format command basically does what an erase command did and then they informed all software vendors, which were obviously confused, that they should send a format command instead of a blank command. Wrong ...

To the best of my knowledge most drive vendors today have adopted the "no erase" +RW philosophy properly and recently developed drives don't erase anymore, even not when a format command is sent. The same goes for the software vendors, they too saw the light. However ... it's hard to change the world and exceptions still exist out there.

So when people ask, "I have a quick erased DVD+RW or DVD-RW ... can it still be recovered", it's difficult to give a definitive answer because it depends so much on the type and make and even firmware revision of the writer, in combination with the erase software and version of that software.

From experience, quick erased DVD+RW media, erased with a current drive and current software is very often recoverable. Chances for success degrade significantly for DVD-RW, because many applications simply send an erase command (or format command) to the drive. Quick erased CD-RW is only recoverable in the lab or with special tricks that are hard to explain here.

Hope this made sense to you ...

Terminology:
"Erase" and "Blank" are basically the same, software mostly uses the term "Erase" whereas official specifications and standards use the term "Blank", as in Full Blank or Quick Blank.

Tips to recover your hard drive after crash

Many of you have experienced blue screen death or have heard the clicking sound from your computer system making your pc unable to boot. Whenever you try to do a message is flash on your screen, operating system not found, or drive not found. First thought which comes to your mind “have I lost my data”, is there anyway to take back to the previous situation.

Hold on, do not panic, ways have been devised to get back your data. There is data recovery software which provides recovery from logically crashed hard drive. And recovery from physical crashed hard drive, data recovery Service Company has been setup with Class 100 Clean Room. But before coming to any conclusion there are things which you must know by yourself.

If your hard drive is not functioning, then it doesn’t mean that you can’t recover your data. There are chances where you can have free data recovery. Some times it might be possible that the crash is not sever and there is a fair chance of recovering your data by yourself or by taking the help of some data recovery expert. If the failure is of electro-mechanical then by replacing the circuit board you can make your drive re-function.

The second way to recover your data from dead hard drive is that you connect your hard drive as a slave on different machine. If the hard drive is detected by BIOS and you are able to access your drive then you can copy the content of the drive to different drive. Some time taking the help of data recovery software also helps in accessing the drive which is not recognized by the system.

Some times data recovery can be critical issue. If you find that you are not able to boot your system and hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. Then in this case cut down the system immediately from any power supply because if the head stack gets damaged then it will lead to further complication. The best thing is to contact the data recovery service company to salvage your hard drive.

There is some situation where user is not able to identify the problem. They don’t know that what exactly happened to hard drive. What type of crash happened to the hard drive? Sometimes because of the software malfunction also operating system is not able to boot up and they thought that it is the case of hard drive crash. But in this case data recovery software is able to recover the data. These data recovery software is typically designed for preventive maintenance.

But in the extreme case of hard drive crash only data recovery service helps and it’s an expensive mechanism. If data recovery software is used in the case of physically damaged hard drive where clicking and buzzing sound is heard then it can further damaged the drive and chances of recovery becomes null. So before attempting any hard drive recovery recognize the fault and render the right service.
