Though it may be that much friendly for the user, but LINUX is more secure and organized in terms of functionality. In LINUX, you don't get everything preloaded and there is a command for every action in it. Here, there lies a big hierarchy of files and the 'mount' command tells the operating system that a file system is ready to use and associates it with a particular point in the system's file system hierarchy.

Sometimes, the mount command does not work and thus the drive can not be accessed. The cause may be the corruption to the Linux file system and It results in critical data loss. To fix up these issues, power packed Linux hard drive recovery are the only answer.

'fsck' command is used to check the consistency of a file. Trying 'fsck' command after failing to mount, you may receive an error message.

The Error message may read like the following:

"[/dev/mapper]fsck -a /dev/mapper/mpath0p1fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 is mounted."

OR

"fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/mpath0p1/dev/mapper/mpath0p1:The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2file system. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2file system (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblockis corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:e2fsck -b 8193 "

Explanation:

When you try to resolve a file system corruption problem and mount the hard drive while using fsck command, you may get the error message indicating that the file system is inconsistent. Such circumstances lead to the failure of LINUX recovery using fsck command, and your data will remain inaccessible.

Resolution:

Boot the system in single user mode and Unmount the drives.

Check for the presence of file system, if not, apply fsck on raw drive.

If the above fails, only through LINUX recovery software, your data can be brought back. These applications incorporate high-end scanning techniques to ensure safe and successful recovery. With a friendly user interface, these tools are a boon to users who don't have prior technical knowledge on the same.

Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is one of the robust as yet easy to use LINUX data recovery tools. This efficient software supports recovery from all Ext4, Ext3, Ext2 and ReiserFS file system volumes and is compatible with most of the popular flavors of LINUX available in the market.

These days, its hard to work without the use of a computer. We are already dependent on the use of computer with almost every task that we made. Be it in writing some documents, a simple to complex gaming situations, to playing some digital audio and compact discs. The computer is very useful equipment that we have now. There are lots of good operating systems in the market. We have Macintosh, one of the most loved operating system that is widely used today. We have Microsoft Windows for all the masses. And we have Linux, a well-develop free operating system that we can use in almost all possible uses as the two commercial operating system. Linux is just a dream, and now that the open-source market is almost dominating the market. Linux is now a solid built and can now be use as an alternative for the two commercial operating systems. Linux can now compete head-to-head with the commercial software. With the hundred of developers spending time to develop every single applicat ion for the Linux environment, we are rest assured that it is closing in to the rock solid foundation of its own built.

I am now using Puppy Linux for more than 3 Years now. And the last built 5.2.8 is the best operating system Barry Kauler has developed at the 3 years span. Its the most ambitious edition of the Puppy Linux operating system. It looks like a Windows7 environment. The good thing with this software is its still a FREE operating system. Old units of computers such as Pentium II up to Pentium 4 will be degraded if we try to install Windows7. Good thing now is we have Puppy Linux that will not eat up every single resource your old computer has. Puppy Linux is a very light operating system that will make your old computer breath a new life again. Let me tell you, people are upgrading their computer to cope with the latest operating system that Microsoft computer release on the market. However, we have a choice. Either you buy a new computer or just use the old computer and make it productive again. The choice is yours! But if you only use the computer for simple tasks such as creati ng a document, recording some sound files, watching some DVDs and playing your music collections. You might want to give it a chance and be more productive again in the next couple of years. And that is absolutely free. Thanks to Barry Kauler for his genius crafts.

All you have to do is download the installer from the site. And burn it to a blank CD-R. Presto! You dont need any extra hardware to do the job. Just insert it to the PC or laptop. You might alter some of the BIOS properties to make the CD drive the first to boot. If you are lucky enough it will just run without any confirmation codes. Just wait for the first time it has a longer time to boot. But when you save the files after the first boot it will be much faster the next time around. Its like magic that your old Pc will be more functional again without having to spend a single penny! And most of the tasks you do in windows or Macintosh are also possible in the Puppy Linux environment. Not only this, Puppy Linux is almost invulnerable to any intrusion of viruses and other malwares. Its really a great feature for this open-source ware. You dont have to worry again on PCs invaded by virus and other malware or spyware. And thats really a magic if you used to the usual scenario of virus related problems. All I can say, Puppy Linux is very handy applications that provide all the basic application that a user will be searching inside commercial software. You dont have to be a geek to use Linux, the interface is very intuitive. Even a first time user will be productive enough in the first sessions. Puppy Linux can also fit inside a USB dongle so you can carry it with you wherever you go, making it a pocket operating system. You dont have to alter the PC that you insert the USB dongle on, it works like a real magic. Windows and Macintosh have never developed such a light to the system OS. All they have to do is develop an OS so they can sell. This operating system is a great help for a third world countries as like the Philippines. Philippines is never exposed to such software, so the people are obliged to pay for the software they use or buy a pirated version. Pirated version is very rampant here in the Philippines but if only the people were given t he choice to use this open-source ware. It will be much more legal than using pirated propriety software with no legal complications. Free to use and distribute.

This is the beauty of open-source ware, and it will be giving your PC another year to be more productive again. It is updated nearly after every 6 months. Rather than using your obsolete software which is very susceptible to malwares and viruses, this software is much more secure than the previous one. It is right to give Barry Kauler the appreciation for this wonderful freeware. Please do download these freeware if you have those old PCs and give it a try. I assure you wont regret it!
