Tips to Recover Damaged Files from Dynamic Disk

We have always enjoyed new discoveries from time to time. In a way every new discovery either helps to do tasks with less effort or it simply makes the task completion faster. The same phenomenon applies to the storage media as well. Over the years we have seen the cards and floppies replaced by flash drives and external hard drives. Something that we often miss out on is the concept of dynamic disks. Unlike basic disks which have many partitions, dynamic disk storage makes use of a single partition that covers the entire disk. It can be combined with other disks creating volumes supported by the available file systems. Like every other storage device, even dynamic disks are prone to crashes and failures, and thus there is a risk of the files being lost. Unless you have disk data recovery software that can help you, your data is in danger of getting lost permanently.

Here are a few tips on how to handle dynamic disks:

Never try to move or slide partitions so as to shrink them for faster speeds

Never try to downgrade to basic partition. It is a very complicated procedure and carries a high risk of data loss

Never try to boot into some other operating system

Always remember that movement of files is not possible unless you have defragmented it before upgrading to a dynamic disk.

Although these tips can help you avoid major disk failures, if things do get out of hand, always look for updated backups. However, if you haven't taken backups or have saved a lot of data after taking last backup, then you need to seek help of third-party Windows Disk Recovery software.

The data in the crashed dynamic drives are very tricky to recover, and one shouldn't risk it by using just any hard disk recovery. A reliable recovery tool is programmed to work despite the intricacies of dynamic drive crashes and failures, and recover all kinds of files from your system, irrespective of the reason for data loss.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a Windows Disk Recovery software that scans the disk and shows a preview of the recoverable files, and seeks permission before attempting recovery. The recovered data is stored at user-defined location. The software supports recovery of a large number of files (more than 200 file types) and can be bought online. The software supports recovery of data from Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP and 2000.
