Preface

This technical book will provoke a lot of debate as it covers an interesting topic. We feel compelled to share our knowledge, analyses, and conclusions after working for numerous years in the field of pharmacy. We have written many papers and book chapters on various facets. Perhaps this description will increase knowledge of the issue and initiate a discussion that could result in significant ideological transformations. There are two reading categories for this book. First off, it can be read by regular individuals with little to no prior knowledge of science. Professionals from academia and government organizations will be represented by the second set of readers. It is hard to believe that all members of the scientific community will comply with the concepts and ideas presented in this work. But we do hope that the knowledge and information provided will serve as a guide for all the sections of society. In this introductory volume, we embark on a journey into the realm of data recovery, a critical aspect of any forensic investigation. In the digital age, evidence often resides not on physical documents, but within the intricate labyrinth of storage devices. The deleted files, hidden partitions, and encrypted data – these are the challenges computer forensics professionals face, tasked with recovering the hidden pieces of the digital puzzle. There are eleven chapters in the book. The introduction to elementary knowledge of data recovery is introduced in chapter 1 of this book. The reasons for data loss are discussed in Chapter 2, which also provides a detailed knowledge of hardware and software reasons for data loss. The data protecting technologies, elementary knowledge of hard disk, hard disk organization, common cases of partition recovery, FAT16 file system check, management of FAT32 file system, management of NTFS file system, and dynamic disk introduction were introduced in chapters 3 to 10 respectively, along with introduction of data security software in chapter 11. We wish a lot of people read this book. In order to escape the mistakes of the past, we must alter course and begin utilising knowledge built up by scientists.

Happy reading!
