Often the easiest way to understand how a product works, or how to use it is to see examples of typical applications. This page links to examples of potential data loss, and how files may be recovered.

There are two main reasons for data loss that needs to be recovered. The first is due to physical failure, and the second due to logical corruption of a drive. Physical problems obviously also generate many logical problems as well.

Physical Failures
● Boot sector failure
● Disk errors in crtical areas of the disk
● Data recovery from a failing disk or one with a single head failure
● From a NAS RAID1 disk drive


Logical Failures
● Operating system reloaded
● Failure when changing system partitions
● Blue screen of death
● Recover an iPod that has been overwritten with NTFS
● Failed recovery attempt corrupted the photos on a memory chip
● Has a memory chip been stolen
● HP Media Vault recovery
● Video case studies
