Data Loss Prevention - Spotting Potential Problems Early
One very common cause of lost data amongst computer users from all walks of life; being they home computer users, business users or even IT support technicians, is that which occurs following an issue with the machine that prevents it from booting. Data loss is often a side affect of attempts to get the machine working again.
Knowing how to deal with the potential for data loss is what separates those who have been there from those who are yet to experience it. So what kind of scenarios are we talking about here and what are we looking for?
Your computer appears to be starting normally but fails to present the log in window: Typically this can be put down to a number of different causes that could be either hardware or software centric. What this means is that it may be a mechanical problem such as a hard drive failing, or could be one of your drivers failing or a corrupt system file. Starting in safe mode may help but not always.
Computer starts to become slow: When we first get our new computer there is very little on it when it comes to programs and games for example, and over time the operating system due to the way it is designed becomes cluttered. Registry repair utilities can help operating system problems but data loss is always a risk. In extreme circumstances a total ODS re-install is the best option.
Pc virus, malware and spyware: Pc virus and other, malevolent applications can cause untold data loss and problems if not handled in the correct manner from the outset. Boot sector viruses and others will first start to be noticeable when you Pc starts behaving strangely so be on your guard.
So what are the options here once the problem has arrived, and how can we avoid any form of data loss when in a lot of circumstances the only answer is to wipe our system and start from fresh?
The best way to avoid data loss in the first place is to follow a simple protocol. Backup your important data on a regular basis. There is simply no good excuse for not doing this as external drives and online backup centers are readily available to all.
External hard drives can be purchased in most computer shops now days and a quick search online for online backup will also give you a number of remote back up options.
So what’s the answer when the data loss monster has knocked at your door? Well if you truly cannot afford to lose data, take out the hard drive from the machine and replace it with a new device for the reinstall. This leaves you the option of professional help if all else fails.

iPad, iPad 2 get unofficial CF card compatibility (video) (Engadget)
Given the impressive knockoffs and official camera kits we've seen, we'd say
the iPad's definitely got the stuff to help out most shutterbugs, but up until
now, uploading content from a CF card wasn't exactly easy. Well, our friends
over at _MIC Gadget_ recently showed off an iPad / iPad 2-compatible card
reader that fixes that on the cheap. Simply called the CF card reader for iPad
and iPad 2, the thing slips right into the slate's dock connector port and, as
you can see from the video below, it transfers HD video and high-res images in
a snap -- it also sports USB connectivity. Like its predecessor, the reader's
available from _MIC_ for $29.90, but you'll have to wait at least a month to
get your hands on one. Oh, and a word of warning, you might want to make sure
the iPad supports your camera's video format before shelling out the dough, as
_MIC_ found the slab couldn't playback video from a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.
