File system is a way that the operating system uses to manage disk and partition. If users still do not understand it, in an easier way, we can consider file system as a partition format mainly used to manage data files in common use. So the partition can not be used once file system is damaged. Only it is reformatted to recreate file system can it be reused. And this method is adopted by most users to convert partition file systems. However, if this method is used to carry out file systems conversion, there is a big problem that a lot of data will be lost and serious data losses will be brought to users. So it is not a good method for file systems conversion. What's more, formatting partition frequently will influence partition stability. Therefore, if uses want to convert partition file systems, the professional third-party partition magic like Min

Users who know NFTS partition management know NTFS partition is more powerful than FAT32 partition. For example, NTFS partition supports a bigger single file. As we know many HD movies and 3D games whose sizes are more than 4GB emerge with the increase of sensory organ enjoyment. At this time, if we want to manage these files, we need the help of NTFS. Of course, besides the advantage of supporting bigger single file, NTFS is more reliable than FAT32, because NTFS is a kind of restorable file system. On NTFS partition, users hardly run disk recovery program, because this file system can ensure partition consistency by using standard transaction log and recovery technology. When NTFS partition failure happens, NTFS can use log file and checkpoint information to recover NTFS partition consistency automatically. However, everything has two points. Just because NTFS has excellent performance, it is difficult to perform NTFS management. Therefore, much data recovery software does not support NTFS partition data recovery. Nevertheless, fortunately, a piece of data recovery software which has all-sided functions and can accomplish NTFS partition data recovery was born when users were troubled by the data loss of NTFS partition. This data recovery software is developed by famous MiniTool Solution Ltd. after unceasing research on NTFS storage principle. It is called MiniTool Power Data Recovery. 

MiniTool Power Data Recovery is a piece of powerful data recovery software. It not only has high performance but has pretty all-sided functions:
1. High performance: this data recovery software not only supports data recovery of NTFS partition but supports data recovery of FAT16 and FTA32. 
2. All-sided function: it can recover lost data caused by mistaken deleting, mistaken formatting, partition damage, virus attack and other factors. 
Of course, all the above are just a part of functions of this data recovery software. If users want to know more detailed information about this data recovery software, they can visit the official website: http://www.powerdatarecovery.com. Next, to make users know this data recovery software more intuitively, I will demonstrate how to accomplish NTFS partition data recovery with it. 

If we want to accomplish deleted data recovery from NTFS partition with MiniTool Power Data Recovery, we should visit its official website to download it first. Next, install and run it. Then, the following main interface appears: 

In the above interface, we select "Undelete Recovery" module to enter the next interface as we are going to perform deleted data recovery from NTFS partition. 

Next, select the NTFS partition where mistaken deletion happens. Then, click "Recover" to scan the partition. After the scanning is finished, the following interface appears. 

This is the recovery interface. Here, check the deleted files which need recovering. Next, click "Save Files" to save these files in a safe place. Then, we are successful to accomplish NTFS partition data recovery. 

Some computer users may have ever encountered the situation where the system prompts you to perform format first when you unfold a partition. This situation reveals that the partition file system or partition information has been damaged and we need to reformat this partition in order to store data. Maybe many users have the question why we need to reformat partition after file system is damaged. However, users who have this question perhaps do not have in-depth understanding of file system. Then we will introduce some information related to file system and partition. 

File system is a way that the operating system uses to manage disk and partition. If users still do not understand it, in an easier way, we can consider file system as a partition format mainly used to manage data files in common use. So the partition can not be used once file system is damaged. Only it is reformatted to recreate file system can it be reused. And this method is adopted by most users to convert partition file systems.

So it is not a good method for file systems conversion. What's more, formatting partition frequently will influence partition stability. Therefore, if uses want to convert partition file systems, the professional third-party partition magic like MiniTool Partition Wizard is recommended. Nevertheless, if users have reformatted partition to convert file systems and data losses have occurred, do not worry. We can use data recovery software to recover lost data timely. And the professional and powerful data recovery software MiniTool Power Data Recovery is recommended. 

Maybe most users are not very familiar with this data recovery software and we'll introduce it briefly. MiniTool Power Data Recovery is data recovery software earmarked for Windows operating systems, helping Windows users recover lost data caused by accidental deletions and accidentally formatted partition.

In the process of using Windows 7, it is hard to avoid this or that kind of problem related to partition management. Although Microsoft has improved the built-in disk management tool in Windows 7, for example, adding Extend Volume and Shrink Volume functions, it still can not meet users' demands for partition management. For instance, the built-in disk management tool can not split partition on Windows 7.

The situation where partition space is too much is common on Windows 7, which will greatly decrease use ratio of disk space. But splitting partition can solve the problem easily. Since the built-in disk management tool can not split partition, it is not easy to finish the operations for common users.

If the partition is NTFS partition on Windows 7, users could firstly use the disk management tool to shrink partition and then create a new partition with the unallocated space, thereby splitting partition. This operation is a little complicated. Actually, professional partition magic is able to split NTFS partition easily on Windows. And MiniTool Partition Wizard is a good choice.

MiniTool Partition Wizard is compatible with common Windows operating systems, for example Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012. It also has simple operations and safe partition splitting function. Therefore, users can use it to split NTFS partition on Windows 7 trustingly. Main procedures are following.
1. Please visit the official website to download MiniTool Partition Wizard and then install it to the computer.
2. Please launch the partition magic and then select the partition that will be split in the main interface. Then click "Split Partition" function.
3. Resize the two new partitions.
4. Click "Apply" to finish all operations.

The above is the screenshot of the main interface of MiniTool Partition Wizard. Seen from "Operations" area, besides splitting partition, this partition magic is also able to format partition, delete partition, move/resize partition, extend partition, merge partitions, copy partition and so on. Therefore, users can use it to maintain better partition management.

As a kind of portable storage devices, SD cards are widely used in digital cameras, PDA, digital players and other digital products. Since they have high transmission speed, large storage capacity and most of them have protection control function, they are appreciated by many users. Along with the wide spread of SD cards, data losses in SD card are becoming more and more and most data losses are caused by users' own accidental deletions. Take digital camera for example. Although SD card provides us with high storage capacity, compared with storage devices like hard disk, its capacity is still small, so many users of digital cameras will periodically delete a large number of pictures stored in SD card. However, due to this kind of deletion, many important image files stored in SD card are lost. Facing data loss in SD card, many users don't know how to solve the problem, so they have to suffer from the annoyance resulting from file losses. 

Many users know we can recover deleted files from computer with data recovery software. Then can we recover deleted files in SD card? Of course we can. We just need to connect SD card to the computer and use data recovery software to scan SD card to recover deleted files in SD card. However, after data losses occur, we should stop using SD card to prevent deleted files in SD card from being overwritten, which guarantees the success rate of data recovery to a large extent. In order to recover deleted files successfully, owning a piece of high-efficient data recovery software is significant, for inferior data recovery software attached with malicious virus programs can not recover deleted files, and they may cause more data loss situations. Therefore, this point should be noticed as well. At this time, the data recovery software, MiniTool Power Data Recovery, painstakingly researched and developed by MiniTool Solution Ltd.is recommended. 

It is easy to recover deleted pictures from SD card with MiniTool Power Data Recovery. Visit the official website http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/ to download and install this data recovery software and then connect SD card to the computer. Then launch the software to recover deleted files. 

In the main interface of this data recovery software, select the function module "Digital Media Recovery" which is specially designed for recovering lost media files. 

In this interface, select the partition standing for SD card and click "Full Scan" to scan lost media files in this partition. 

After the scan is finished, all lost media files in SD card are listed in the display area. Check the files that will be recovered and click "Save Files" to finish the recovery process. 

As is well known, at the beginning of installing a brand new hard disk for our computer, the new disk can not be used to store data unless we format and partition it. Therefore, partitioning the hard disk is the thing every computer user will do. However, to keep reasonable partition, we must perform necessary partition management. Compared with original Windows operating systems, Windows 7 makes it much easy to manage disk partition on Windows 7 because this operating system makes a lot of improvement. However, although we can manage disk partition Windows 7 more conveniently with system disk management tool, it is inevitable for us to meet data loss resulting from unreasonable or mistaken operations. More unfortunately, the loss of important data is commonly seen. After important data on Windows 7 disk partition are lost, what we think about first is how to recover these important data. Actually, it is easy to recover these lost data on disk partition under Windows 7, and what we need is just a piece of excellent data recovery software. Among so much data recovery software, MiniTool Power Data Recovery is the best one. With this software, we can recover lost data easily and quickly no matter what kinds of mistaken operations we perform on Windows 7 disk partition. 


Although data loss of disk partition Windows 7 is commonly seen, factors resulting in data loss may be different. If we want to recover data lost from Windows 7 disk partition quickly and completely, we must select corresponding method according to different situations. In fact, there are many factors leading to data loss on Windows 7 disk partition, and the commonly seen factors are mistaken data deletion, mistaken partition deletion and mistaken partition formatting. Considering these factors, we had better select a piece of professional data recovery software with all-sided functions. With such a kind of data recovery software, we can operate Windows 7 hard disk partition and important partition data reliably without worrying about the loss of important data. 

As we all know, there are much data recovery software designed for Windows operating system. However, it is not easy to find a piece of data recovery software with all-sided functions, because most data recovery software can only recover lost data under simple situations, such as deleting data mistakenly. Therefore, these kinds of data recovery software can not meet our daily recovery demands. At this time, professional data recovery software with all-sided functions is suggested, and MiniTool Power Data Recovery is the best one. Visit the official website http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/ to download it, and then install it on our computer.

The main interface shows us 5 functional modules of this data recovery software. Among these modules, "Undelete Recovery", "Damaged Partition Recovery", "Lost Partition Recovery", and "Digital Media Recovery" can help us recover different kinds of lost data on disk partition Windows 7 quickly and completely. 

With wider and wider application of digital camera, digital picture loss happens more and more frequently in digital camera. No matter it is because of users' accidental deletion, accidental formatting, or virus attack, they all threaten security of digital pictures in digital camera a lot. Once digital picture loss happens, every user will feel very frustrated. Most users feel difficult to find a suitable solution to recover lost pictures. Next, let me introduce you an excellent solution. 

Maybe quite a few users will feel curious about digital picture recovery. Can lost pictures really be recovered? The answer is absolutely yes. But to recover lost pictures, the premise should be that deleted pictures have never been damaged or overwritten. Therefore, when digital picture loss happens, you shouldn't perform any operations to the storage devices anymore, avoiding overwriting. And then you can use a piece of professional data recovery software to recover lost pictures. It is strongly suggested using MiniTool Power Data Recovery which is developed by famous MiniTool Solution Ltd.. This software has a special functional module for recovering digital media files, and it can scan lost pictures fast and recover them. If you still doubt the performance of MiniTool Power Data Recovery, let me show you a presentation of using MiniTool Power Data Recovery to recover lost pictures. 

Firstly, visit http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/ to download MiniTool Power Data Recovery for free, and install it to your computer. Connect storage device of your digital camera to the computer, and launch MiniTool Power Data Recovery: 

This is the main interface of MiniTool Power Data Recovery. We can see there are five functional modules. Here let's click on "Digital Media Recovery" that is specially designed for recovering lost media files. 

In this interface, we can see a list of all disks and partitions in the computer. Select the partition which represents external storage device, and click "Full Scan" button to scan that partition. Wait for a few minutes and you will see the next interface: 

In this interface, we can see all lost media files. Check the ones to be recovered, and click "Save Files" button to save recovered pictures to a specific location. Then all work of recovering lost pictures is successfully finished. In addition, you should not save recovered files to the original partition so as to avoid overwriting. 

SSD, short for Solid State Disk, is an emerging hard disk that adopts solid state electronic memory chip array as storage medium, consisting of control module and storage module (Flash Chip). Compared with traditional HDD, SSD is of faster data transmission speed, lower power dissipation, noise-free feature, high seismic resistance, producing little heat, small size and larger range of working temperature, so SSD has got a lot of attention as soon as it was released. However, in the process of using SSD, some users many encounter problems. When SSD is mounted to Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, its performance is debased greatly. That is because some old Windows operating systems, like Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, can not manage SSD directly, which make partition not aligned, thereby influencing the properties of SSD.

Most of the flash memories existing in the market are composed of 512 KB blocks and each block is composed of many 4KB pages. When we perform wipe operating in a flash memory, it takes block as a unit, but page is taken as a unit when data are written in. The size of a page, 4KB, is just the same as the size of the smallest default allocation unit of NTFS file system. It is supposed to be a good thing. But when we partition SSD in Windows Server 2003, the operation is not started from its head and there is a deviant that causes mismatch between the smallest allocation units and the pages of SSD, which means partition is not aligned. In this situation, when a 4KB data is written in, it will be written on different two pages. This kind of situation about writing data in twice, compared with the ideal condition (the smallest allocation units are corresponding to pages of a flash memory, so we can write the 4KB data into one page all at once), has great limitation. Seen from this, SSD partition alignment is of prime importance if we want to use SSD better in Windows Server 2003.

Since Windows Server 2003 doesn't provide users with a solution to SSD partition alignment, we have to resort to the third-party partition magic to align partition on SSD in a bid to improve SSD performance in Windows Server 2003. We suggest users apply the free partition magic MiniTool Partition Wizard to carry out SSD partition alignment. In the process, partition data won't be influenced and operations are simple as well.

Firstly, run MiniTool Partition Wizard and then select the SSD partition that will be aligned. Then click "Align Partition" on the left, shown as follows.

Secondly, click "Apply" to perform the operation of aligning SSD partition, as follows.

After the free partition magic stops operating, SSD partition alignment is finished successfully.
