Hard Drive Failure - What Goes Wrong & Can You Rely on Data Recovery?

The hard disk drive in your computer is the place where the data is stored, and the data is at its most current. So, if it fails and there is not a current backup then it can be a very serious problem.

Why will a disk fail?

Data Collection Tools

Data on a hard drive is stored on a circular platter that spins at anything from 5400 rpm to 15,000 rpm., with a read/write head mounted on an arm that positions it across the platter to access data. This head "floats" very close to the surface by dint of an aerodynamic effect, add to this movement and proximity the potential for heat generation and there is suddenly a lot that can go wrong.

Head Crash

This is when the head touches the surface of the platter whilst it is spinning, this could be the result of an impact or a mechanical failure within the HDA (HDA is the Head Disk Assembly which comprises the head/platter combination).

It is not too difficult to imaging the consequence of such contact, in the worst cases it can strip away the entire recorded surface of the platter leaving just the base material, usually glass.

Media Failure

Hard disk drives "hide" any instance of media failure to maintain a perfectly readable disk, and prevent operating system problems as the result of unreadable sectors. What they do is maintain a set of spare sectors, and when failures occur they reallocate data to one of these spares.

There can come a point where the spares are all used up and the errors begin. Normally the disk is in quite a sever state of failure by now and if the disk is kept working the problems will rapidly multiply.

Electronic Failure

Hard drives are controlled by circuitry that is susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge or electrical surge. If a component is on the brink of failing then quite a minor electrical "blip" will push it over the edge.

The complexity with a hard drive is that there is code and information stored within memory devices on the drive controller and this is created when the drive is first formatted, so just replacing the electronics will not help.

Alignment failure and head failure.

If any of the read heads within the drive fail, and can no longer turn the magnetic signal going past into something that can be decoded by the drive electronics then again the disk drive has failed. Even if the heads have not failed but mechanical wear means that positioning to the correct place to find data is just not happening, then you can have lots of perfectly well recorded data but not means of accessing it.

Bearing seizure

Platter rotation has to be nice and smooth, any undue vibration can cause positional problems. Following an impact, or just after prolonged use, the bearings that allow the platter to rotate can crumble and seize. The drive cannot spin the platter and no data can be read.

Data Failures

Sometimes the problem lies not with the disk but with the person or system that is using it. The disappearance of a partition or files might actually be user error or the result of an application error, the disk might still be working perfectly well.

Hard Drive Data Recovery

This is the general term for a collection of techniques for getting the data of a failed device and finding a way of returning it in a usable form. This can range from quite a straightforward process, to a highly complex on, and in the worst case an impossible task.

It is tempting to depend on the general reliability combined with a belief that in the unlikely event of a failure a data recovery professional can help. Many firms cite 95% + success rates so why worry? First, the only statistic that matters is whether your disk can be recovered from, 500 other disks might have been recovered from 100%, but if yours has crashed beyond redemption then your data has gone.

Second, even a low cost data recovery will cost more than a 500GB USB disk, so why risk everything to save virtually nothing?

Hard Drive Data Recovery is an option, sometimes a business or marriage saver, but by taking a bit of care it can be an option that you do not need.

Computer Forensics Tools

In general, a computer forensic investigator will use a tool in order to gather data from a system (e.g. a computer or computer network) without altering the data on that system. This aspect of an investigation, the care taken to avoid altering the original data, is a fundamental principle of computer forensic examination and some of the tools available include functionality specifically designed to uphold this principle. In reality it is not always easy to gather data without altering the system in some way (even the act of shutting a computer down in order to transport it will most likely cause changes to the data on that system) but an experienced investigator will always strive to protect the integrity of the original data whenever possible. In order to do this, many computer forensic examinations involve the making of an exact copy of all the data on a disk. This copy is called an image and the process of making an image is often referred to as imaging. It is this image which is usually the subject of subsequent examination.

Another key concept is that deleted data, or parts thereof, may be recoverable. Generally speaking, when data is deleted it is not physically wiped from the system but rather only a reference to the location of the data (on a hard disk or other medium) is removed. Thus the data may still be present but the operating system of the computer no longer "knows" about it. By imaging and examining all of the data on a disk, rather than just the parts known to the operating system, it may be possible to recover data which has been accidentally or purposefully deleted.

Data Collection Tools

Although most real world tools are designed to carry out a specific task (the hammer to hammer nails, the screwdriver to turn a screw, etc.) some tools are designed to be multi-functional. Similarly some computer forensic tools are designed with only one purpose in mind whereas others may offer a whole range of functionality. The unique nature of every investigation will determine which tool from the investigator's toolkit is the most appropriate for the task in hand.

As well as differing in functionality and complexity, computer forensic tools also differ in cost. Some of the market-leading commercial products cost thousands of dollars while other tools are completely free. Again, the nature of the forensic examination and the goal of the investigation will determine the most appropriate tools to be used.

The collection of tools available to the investigator continues to expand and many tools are regularly updated by their developers to enable them to work with the latest technologies. Furthermore, some tools provide similar functionality but a different user interface, whereas others are unique in the information they provide to the examiner. Against this background it is the task of the computer forensic examiner to judge which tools are the most appropriate for an investigation, bearing in mind the nature of the evidence which needs to be collected and the fact that it may at some stage be presented to a court of law. Without doubt, the growing number of both civil and criminal cases where computer forensic tools play a significant role makes this a fascinating field for all those involved.

Importance Of Data Mining In Today's Business World

What is Data Mining? Well, it can be defined as the process of getting hidden information from the piles of databases for analysis purposes. Data Mining is also known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). It is nothing but extraction of data from large databases for some specialized work.

Data Mining is largely used in several applications such as understanding consumer research marketing, product analysis, demand and supply analysis, e-commerce, investment trend in stocks & real estates, telecommunications and so on. Data Mining is based on mathematical algorithm and analytical skills to drive the desired results from the huge database collection.

Data Collection Tools

Data Mining has great importance in today's highly competitive business environment. A new concept of Business Intelligence data mining has evolved now, which is widely used by leading corporate houses to stay ahead of their competitors. Business Intelligence (BI) can help in providing latest information and used for competition analysis, market research, economical trends, consume behavior, industry research, geographical information analysis and so on. Business Intelligence Data Mining helps in decision-making.

Data Mining applications are widely used in direct marketing, health industry, e-commerce, customer relationship management (CRM), FMCG industry, telecommunication industry and financial sector. Data mining is available in various forms like text mining, web mining, audio & video data mining, pictorial data mining, relational databases, and social networks data mining.

Data mining, however, is a crucial process and requires lots of time and patience in collecting desired data due to complexity and of the databases. This could also be possible that you need to look for help from outsourcing companies. These outsourcing companies are specialized in extracting or mining the data, filtering it and then keeping them in order for analysis. Data Mining has been used in different context but is being commonly used for business and organizational needs for analytical purposes

Usually data mining requires lots of manual job such as collecting information, assessing data, using internet to look for more details etc. The second option is to make software that will scan the internet to find relevant details and information. Software option could be the best for data mining as this will save tremendous amount of time and labor. Some of the popular data mining software programs available are Connexor Machines, Free Text Software Technologies, Megaputer Text Analyst, SAS Text Miner, LexiQuest, WordStat, Lextek Profiling Engine.

However, this could be possible that you won't get appropriate software which will be suitable for your work or finding the suitable programmer would also be difficult or they may charge hefty amount for their services. Even if you are using the best software, you will still need human help in completion of projects. In that case, outsourcing data mining job will be advisable.

Data Collection is a Crucial Part of ABA Therapy

When looking at the various aspects of ABA therapy, it is easy to focus on such things as discrete trial teaching, repetition, or reinforcement. There is no doubt that these elements of the treatment are absolutely imperative. With that said, however, it is important for parents and educators to understand that even the best repetition and trials will be hindered without rigorous and proper data collection. ABA is an evidence based method of teaching, and the collection of data is absolutely essential.

Data collection helps ABA therapists accurately measure performance throughout the teaching process. Not only does it provide them with a deeper understanding of how the child progresses, but it enables them to monitor any setbacks or to identify any changes in environment or stimuli that led to different responses. It also helps parents and educators come up with behavior plans and to make adjustments to the curriculum as needed. The diagnostic information provided on data sheets should always be as detailed and accurate as possible, and schools and parents should work together to share and compare these sheets on a regular basis.

Data Collection Tools

There are a number of different types of data collection that help make ABA therapy more effective. Monitoring progress and setbacks is important, but it is equally important to make specific notes about reinforcement offered, prompts used to garner specific responses, and reactions to different stimuli and circumstances. It is also important to collect data on skill acquisition as well as on any improvements or changes noticed in any aspect of the therapy. This can help educators to understand exactly what is working and what is not and can even help to make clear what areas the child experiences the most difficulty in.

Data collection is as important to the student as it is for the educator. While parents and teachers collect data to help themselves understand what is working, the data is used to create a better learning environment for the student. ABA is always most effective when offered intensively at both home and school, and data collection makes it much easier for parents and educators to create matching lessons and trials and to compare data from different environments. Providing these students with the best learning opportunities possible is crucial, and this means creating trials that are as identical as possible. ABA can be very effective, and data collection can help ensure that you give your child the best opportunities possible.

Statistical Analysis

Statistical analysis is normally referred to as a collection of methods that are used in processing large amount of information or data and also report the overall trends. Therefore, it is mainly useful when dealing with specific data. It provides different ways of reporting on how unusual event is actually based on certain historical data. For instance, our server normally uses different statistical analysis in order to examine tremendous amount of data that is produced everyday by stock market. Therefore, people prefer statistical analysis to other traditional forms of the technical analysis.

There are two different types of statistical analysis this include: descriptive and inferential statistics. Therefore, the major goal of this paper is to differentiate between two main types. To start with, descriptive statistics usually corresponds to the act of defining different characteristics of a given statistical measurement. Hence, it is based upon the methods and mechanisms that are employed to summarize and organize any raw data. So as to categorize that data from the random sample collected, many statisticians uses charts, tables, graphs and standard measurements like measurements of variation, average and percentiles.

Data Collection Tools

There are many ways in which this type of statistic has been used for instance, in baseball. Statisticians spend a lot of effort and also time examining and summarizing data they usually get from the game. For instance in 1948, over six hundred games were played in the league of America. Therefore, so as to determine which team that had best batting average, a lot of effort was required. This is because they were required to take official scores for every game, make a list of each batter, then compute all the results of each, add total number of the hits made and also total number of different times at bat so as to calculate with the batting average. This proved to be a lot of work and more complicated.

Nevertheless, due to technology this has changed a lot. This is because the use of various computer statistical programs together with capability of incorporating statistical functions on the spreadsheet programs like excel shows that more detailed and complicated information can actually be collected, formatted and also presented with just a couple of key strokes. As result all these has made many statisticians to handle a lot of data and explore it in a systematic way with a short duration.

The second type is inferential statistics. It is mostly based upon measuring and choosing trustworthiness of the conclusion about certain population parameter that is based on information from random sample which is the reduced portion of the same population. One good example where inferential statistic applied is the political predictions. For instance, you find that in order to predict who will actually be the winner in an election like presidential election, sample of few thousand who are carefully chosen are asked whom they are going to vote.

Therefore, from the answers they end up giving, statisticians are able to infer or predict who will be voted in. Without doubt, the primary elements in this type are choosing general population that will be polled and the questions that they will be asked. Hence, inferential statistics highly relies on the results. Therefore it is easier to predict who will win the election. On the other hand, the sampling may sometimes give rise to inferences that are incorrect. Therefore many statisticians have tried to look for other ways of collecting data.

In conclusion, these two types are quite important in data collection. However, many people prefer using descriptive to inferential statistics this is because its results are more accurate.

Tips For Collecting Data During Home ABA Therapy

 For parents conducting intensive ABA or Applied Behavior Analysis therapy at home, collecting and tracking data can seem like a daunting task.  Some parents feel that they need to keep rigorous data in regards to every question to a degree that it hampers their ability to teach effectively, while some parents feel that they can rely on memory to track their child's progress and note both impairments and improvements.  The truth is that data collection is a delicate balance between ensuring that progress is properly noted without getting so wrapped up in details that the lesson suffers.  What follows are some basic tips for collecting data.

It should first be noted that parents are encouraged to use data collection sheets.  Professionally designed to offer task analysis as well as the creation of easy to read graphs, data collection sheets simplify analyzing your child's progress with ABA therapy.  For parents who opt to create their own data records, however, there are some tips to simplify and streamline the process.  It is recommended to record data for separate sections and skills on separate sheets of paper and to document results only at the end of the lesson.
 
One tip many parents find helpful is to take a task such as getting dressed and break it down into smaller sections, such as choosing clothes, putting on underwear, putting on pants, putting on shirt, putting on sock, putting on shoes, putting pajamas in hamper, etc.  When each step is outlined, it becomes easy to outline which steps were taken without prompt and which required prompting.  This helps to outline trends and areas that need more work.  The same theory can apply for any activity, including things such as shape or color recognition, with notes being taken of shapes or colors recognized alone and those requiring a hint or prompt.  It is important to count only the child's first response and to be truthful in your data recording, as counting partial answers can skew data and harm your progress in the long run.
 
In short, data collection can be a relatively simple process even though it is highly important.  While professional collection sheets are recommended, many parents find success using their own data collection methods.  Applied Behavior Analysis relies heavily on the assessment of the data that is collected from each lesson, but as long as the proper data is recorded and the proper points are stressed and worked on, ABA is designed to help your child function as normally as possible.

Tips For Collecting Data During Home ABA Therapy

Collecting Data With Web Scrapers

There is a large amount of data available only through websites. However, as many people have found out, trying to copy data into a usable database or spreadsheet directly out of a website can be a tiring process. Data entry from internet sources can quickly become cost prohibitive as the required hours add up. Clearly, an automated method for collating information from HTML-based sites can offer huge management cost savings.

Web scrapers are programs that are able to aggregate information from the internet. They are capable of navigating the web, assessing the contents of a site, and then pulling data points and placing them into a structured, working database or spreadsheet. Many companies and services will use programs to web scrape, such as comparing prices, performing online research, or tracking changes to online content.

Data Collection Tools

Let's take a look at how web scrapers can aid data collection and management for a variety of purposes.

Improving On Manual Entry Methods

Using a computer's copy and paste function or simply typing text from a site is extremely inefficient and costly. Web scrapers are able to navigate through a series of websites, make decisions on what is important data, and then copy the info into a structured database, spreadsheet, or other program. Software packages include the ability to record macros by having a user perform a routine once and then have the computer remember and automate those actions. Every user can effectively act as their own programmer to expand the capabilities to process websites. These applications can also interface with databases in order to automatically manage information as it is pulled from a website.

Aggregating Information

There are a number of instances where material stored in websites can be manipulated and stored. For example, a clothing company that is looking to bring their line of apparel to retailers can go online for the contact information of retailers in their area and then present that information to sales personnel to generate leads. Many businesses can perform market research on prices and product availability by analyzing online catalogues.

Data Management

Managing figures and numbers is best done through spreadsheets and databases; however, information on a website formatted with HTML is not readily accessible for such purposes. While websites are excellent for displaying facts and figures, they fall short when they need to be analyzed, sorted, or otherwise manipulated. Ultimately, web scrapers are able to take the output that is intended for display to a person and change it to numbers that can be used by a computer. Furthermore, by automating this process with software applications and macros, entry costs are severely reduced.

This type of data management is also effective at merging different information sources. If a company were to purchase research or statistical information, it could be scraped in order to format the information into a database. This is also highly effective at taking a legacy system's contents and incorporating them into today's systems.

Overall, a web scraper is a cost effective user tool for data manipulation and management.
