As an experienced user, I have been gone through many problems in the paper working every day. Surely, I prefer to solve the problems by DIY such as transferring files, converting format, change new memory storage, recover data and even change new LED screen for my computer. I have studied very carefully on FAT table theory and the method how to get back data. FAT stands for File Allocation Table, which is addressing system in DOS/Win9x. As it is most important parts in memory storage in computer, engineers trend to suggest users to set two FAT in their computer in order that there is some unexpected damage occurs. But to be honest, most of users are reluctant to follow engineer’s suggestion due to be lack of knowledge of importance. Usually the second FAT is the backup file for the first one. The location of FAT is close to OBR. In FAT32 format, the first FAT address is the 32th sector in guidance partition, which size depends on the size of partition and file allocation table.
In this case, when data recovery software needs to be selected, users must take note the software properties and specifications on FAT table. One of data recovery software named Coolmuster Data Recovery is available and fashionable with the excellent function in working on FAT file recovery. Entering into FAT table, coolmuster scan entirely six partitions and sectors so as to get back lost files from FAT table. As we know, some files has been left in guidance sector instead of FAT table, which needs software program to scan large capacities in the main boot sector. The benefit for users is that coolmuster program run double space in less than half time comparing with other software operation speed. It also comes with the Mac version that features with the same powerful function in recovering lost, deleted, formatted and corrupted data via Mac computer.
