Hard drive resizing a common practice for most of the computer users, who prioritize the effective management of data. Most of the computer operating systems, including Windows and Linux provide inbuilt utilize to manage hard drive partitions. But in some situations, generally in a dual-boot system with Windows and Linux, partition resizing in Windows may damage the Linux partitions and lead to critical data loss situations. In such critical situations, you are required to opt for Linux Data Recovery to retrieve data from damaged Linux hard drive volumes.
Consider the following scenario. You resize your Windows Vista partition using in-built Disk Manger tool to free up some hard drive space. Then you install Linux on the newly created Ext4 hard drive partitions. At last, you create another NTFS file system partition for storing data that you formatted in Windows Vista and end up with a partition scheme that is similar to the following one:
sda1 (primary) Hidden (Recovery)
sda2 (primary) Vista C: (NTFS)
sda3 (primary) Linux (Ext4)
sda5 (extended) Swap Swap (Swap)
sda6 (extended) Data D: (NTFS)
Your systems works properly until you download and install security updates in Windows Vista. After applying the updates, when you boot your Linux system next time, fsck gives you a number of error messages about the multiply-claimed blocks by the Inodes of udev rule files. Udev corruption creates a number of issues with your Linux computer and renders your valuable data inaccessible.
In Linux operating system, udev is a device manage for 2.6 series of kernel. It primarily manges the device nodes in /dev. This is successor of the hotplug and devfs that meas it handles /dev directory and all the user space actions.
In such critical situations, you need to replace the damaged kernel files or even the kernel. It is possible by formatting the hard drive and reinstalling operating system. Although, formatting removes all of the hard drive errors, but also delete all the files from hard drive. In Such scenarios, you require Data Recovery Linux to extract data from formatted hard drive.
The Linux Data Recovery is possible through third-party applications
, known as Linux Recovery Software. The tools perform extensive scan of entire hard drive and extract all the data from it. With rich graphical user interface and read-only conduct, the applications are easy and safe to use.
Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is a comprehensive software to ensure absolute and quick recovery of all your lost data from Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 file system volumes. The application works will most of the major distributions of Linux operating system including SUSE, Ubuntu, Red Hat and Fedora.
