http://www.stellarinfo.com/ : Windows data recovery software provides Imaging feature to create an Image of the hard drive or logical partition having bad sectors. Recovers data from the hard drive using Image file of source media.

1. How to Create a Image of the Hard disk Bad Sectors on Hard Drive? Bad sectors are the area of hard disk that become unreadable. When the sectors goes bad the data on it cant be recoverable by any mean but data on the other sectors could be recovered. The bad sectors on the hard drive can be recognized by creating an image of the hard drive.

2. Know How to....... The process I am showing you in this presentation is all about the data recovery from the hard disk having bad sectors. Just go through the presentation to know how to create an image of the hard disk by a good data recovery software to recover the data from the disk having bad sectors.

3. Process Start........ .

4. Start Imaging Open Data Recovery Software and check the Tip of the day

8. Step 4 – Start Scanning Click continue to start scanning This method takes the sector by sector image of the selected region and it's useful in case selected media developed bad sectors. This image can be used later to recover data

9. Step 5 – Disk Image Creation Sysmbols of process processing information of selected drive The process creating sector – by - sector copy of the source media and thereby perfectly replicating the structure and contents of a storage device. After the completion of the imaging save the image file at specific location except source drive. It is recommended that you should save scan information file and hard disk image at different locations with proper name such that you can easily retrieve the required image file.

10. How to Start Recovery from Image file We have created the image of the hard drive. Now I start to show you how can we recover data from this Image file....

11. Start Recovery........ from Image File

12. Step 1 – Select Resume Recovery Select option Browse the image file Select the 'Resume Recovery' from the welcome screen of the software and browse for the image file of the source media for that imaging process has performed and want to recover data from that.

13. Step 2 – Select Process Select the Quick Recovery Process for selected image file of the hard drive. We can perform only quick recovery from the image file not the otherone. you cannot perform a different recovery process by using a different image file. For example, an image file of quick recovery process restarts quick recovery not deleted file recovery. Select the process method

14. Step 3 – Data Scanning Tree structure of recoverable files Stop scan information All the recoverable files are displayed in a tree view after the scanning and You can preview all the recoverable files after the storage media is scanned. Save Scan - used to save the scanned data for later recovery in .img formate. Remember you cannot perform a different recovery process by using a different image file. For example, an image file of quick recovery process restarts quick recovery not deleted file recovery. Mask - used to narrow down the scan result basis of different parameters, such as file type, size, date etc. the *. should be present to enable OK button, whether, any file extension is typed or not in this textbox.

15. Step 4 – Choose Destination - you can save the recovered files either to a hard drive or to a File Transfer Protocol(FTP) server. - You can apply compression option on all recoverable files or on indivisual file. - You can only apply compression if you are saving recovered files to local disk drive. - You can recover files according to recovery options. You can not save an empty folder. There should be atleast one file in the folder to save it.

16. Step 5 – Saving Data The final step of the process saving the recovered data to a desired location. You can see all recoverd data on that location.
