Data Recovery Glossary (Letter E)

EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics)
The primary interface used by desktop PCs to handle communication between hard drives and the central processing unit. The equivalent interface system in most enterprise systems is SCSI.

Embedded Servo Control
The embedded servo control design generates accurate feedback information to the head position servo system without requiring a full data surface (which is required with a “dedicated” servo control method) because servo control data is stored on every surface.

Encoding
The process of modifying data patterns prior to writing them on the disk surface.

Enterprise
The series of computers employed largely in high-volume and multi-user environments such as servers or networking applications; may include single-user workstations required in demanding design, engineering and audio/visual applications.

Error Correction Code (ECC)
A mathematical algorithm that detects and corrects errors in a data field.

Error Log
A record that contains error information.

Error Rate
The number of errors of a given type that occur when reading a specified number of bits.

Extended Partition
You can create multiple partitions on a hard disk, one primary partition and one or more extended partition(s). Operating system files must reside on the primary partition. An extended partition is a partition where non-system files (files other than DOS or operating system files) can be stored on a disk. You can also create logical drives on the extended partition.

What is Data Recovery?

Data Recovery specialists work toward retrieving “lost data” on computer hard drives. The keyword in the latter statement is “lost”; no data is really lost on a hard drive, in fact, at least 85 percent of the time it is merely irretrievable. In addition, data recovery can not only be conducted on computer hard drives, but data recovery attempts are often successful on magnetic tapes and magnetic discs. As a final point, the most popular type of data recovery can be identified in the various software applications that help computer users restore their computers in the event of an ever-fatal computer crash.Data recovery specialists are armed with advanced knowledge and their services far surpass that of software applications. The difficulty with many software applications is that the user is often an amateur at data recovery and is therefore attempting to fix a problem that he or she cannot necessarily outright identify. The user finds out rather quickly that data recovery is more than just rebooting the hard drive or reinstalling a program. In essence, by using software data recovery programs an inexperienced computer user may merely be grasping at straws as he or she struggles to repair the computer damage he or she is faced with. What is worse is that, more often than not, the computer user is adding such applications to a computer that is already damaged. Consequently, the software applications that are meant to repair the computer may not install correctly or they may not repair the problem at all – in fact, some could make data recovery even more difficult.

If your computer files are of extreme importance to you, it is time to call in the specialists. Data Recovery experts are far more successful at retrieving that which is seemingly irretrievable like lost or accidentally deleted files. In fact, less than fifteen percent of all of the computers handled by data recovery specialists are deemed as non-restorable.
