UNDERSTANDING

PARTITIONS
The master boot record contains two important structures
- the master boot code and the master partition table. Both
provide instruction and information and how your
computer boots up. Due to its structure, a single hard disk
is limited to four primary partitions. One of it will be
assigned as the active partition to contain your operating
system. You can create four primary partitions, or three
primary partitions and one extended partition which can
be subdivided into multiple logical partitions.
For example, you may want to split your
80GB disk as follows:
 40GB primary partition for your OS and
software applications
 10GB for MP3 files
 15GB for Document files
 5GB for Miscellaneous files
 10GB for Archival files
 First, you create a 40GB primary partition.
This will occupy the first of the 4 partitions.
Then you can create a 40GB extended
partition. And within the extended partition,
you create four logical partition - 10GB,
15GB, 5GB & 10GB. So the result of this will
be a C drive (40GB), D drive (10GB), E drive
(15GB), F drive (5GB) and an H drive (10GB).
MAKING A DISK
IMAGE BACKUP
 Image Backup is making a duplicate image or
cloning a drive that is often used in data recovery
to ensure that the original media where data has
been lost is untouched while recovery is done on
the cloned drive.
It can also be used as a backup procedure.
However, it is risky because all the data duplicated
will be along with whatever viruses and malware
that infected the drive.
BACKUP
Creating a backup of files is one of the
most important things people do not do, even
though it should be their top priority.
Never recover lost data on the original
media. Make a copy or image of it on another
storage media, and recover from that copy.
Checking Mode of Failure
Before you engage in any self-recovery jobs, do the following
first:
 Check if you have heard any sound prior to your data loss.
 notice if the performance of the system degrade.
 Encountered any problems while opening files, folders or
saving.
This is simply to make sure that the loss is logical in nature,
and not physical. If you encounter any data loss arising from
physical data loss, please send it to a professional data recovery
outfit.
DUPLICATION -

Image From Disk".
5. Then, in the lower drop down menu, select the
drive you want to clone.
6. Save and indicate an image file name.
7. Then wait for the operation to finish.
COPY DISK IMAGE
TO ANOTHER DRIVE
1. Once you have created the disk image, you need to
copy the image to another drive.
2. 2. Using the same software, under tools, select "Image
Backup/ Restore".
3. There are two radio buttons. Select "Store
Image Disk".
4. Under "Image File", browse for the image you just created.
5. Then specify the drive you want to extract the image to be
cloned.
6. The drive you choose will have all its data
destroyed. Be warned.

7. Click "Yes", and transfer of image to disk

will be completed.
