Hard Disk Crash

Levski — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:07:58 +0000

The hard disk contains data which can be of two types. The first type is the operating system with different software that is housed in one partition. The other type is the actual data that the user works on. When a hard disk crash takes place it causes permanent loss of data. In such situations the computer does not boot up and gives only error messages. When the computer is turned on the head gets stuck and causes scratches on the surface meant for recording of data and a scratching sound is emitted which is an indication of a hard disk crash. Recovery of data is expensive and done by disassembling the disk and files are extracted using special tools and copied onto another CD or DVD.

RAM is Random Access Memory. There is lot of information stored in your computer which you do not use it altogether. But when you are using only a portion of information it gets temporarily stored in the RAM due to which you can retrieve your information in the fastest time possible. The RAM works as long as your computer is running. Once the power is put off all the information disappears from the RAM.

To answer the questions "Why Should I Encrypt My Files?", you must first ask yourself whether your computer is storing any *sensitive* data such as social security numbers, passwords, financial data, etc. If yes, then I would definitely recommend you to encrypt all your *sensitive* files.
