Laptop Data Recovery: Why Users Lose Data?

Recovering data from technical devices sometimes becomes very important in our real life. Many of us store our important data like bank account number, password for credit card, mobile phone number, contact number etc in our PCs laptops or other mechanical devices. The most important thing is that sometimes we can not retrieve some of those documents even paying high amount money if the electronic device is affected badly. I found an interesting article regarding the ways people face to lost their data which I find very funny but very possible in our real life. In that article Simon Steggles, director of Disklabs, an UK-based data recovery institution, talked about some of the incidents faced by their clients which, though, are seemed to be very silly but the information they lost were not so. I am quoting some of those incidents from the article:


“My cat urinated on my laptop - Disklabs technicians had to thread gingerly in handling a Toshiba laptop which had been urinated on by a client's pet Persian Blue.

I accidentally threw it out of a window - A student claimed he was 'messing around' with his roommate's laptop. But instead of pretending to throw the laptop out of the window, he chucked it for real – much to the dismay of his roommate.

I was showing my friend how to delete data on the spare hard drive, but I deleted the wrong one - Enough said.

My wife threw my laptop down a well - Another marital dispute. Excuses offered failed to placate an irate wife who took her revenge by throwing her husband's laptop into a 60 foot well.”


I knew that Einstein’s wife put a bucket of water on his head, so, I have to admit that this wife is very acted politely to her husband not making any physical harm to her husband and her husband is very lucky (of course more than Einstine!) that he was not thrown in the well. Well, this kind of silly mistake and carelessness may cost your fate to retrieve your lost data. So, the only thing needed here to be a bit of careful and patient in using technical devices like laptop.
