Hard drive is nothing but data warehouse where files is stored in certain logical manner. The operating system has responsibility to define these logics which are commonly known as file systems. Mac OS X is considered as worlds most powerful operating system in term of security, functionality and usablity. The file system which they use is HFS+ (journaled) which is one of the best well defined file system of the world. But despite of all above feature data loss is very common in Mac.
The most common reasons of data loss in Mac is unexpected file system crash. Some of them are listed below-
* System crash and Mac shut down accidentally
* Catalog File corruption
* Corruption of partition table
* Mater File Table corruption
* Hardware failure
All above problems are very common in Mac. Worst is it might happen to anyone anytime, it may happen when you woke up in the morning and your Mac refuses to boot and all the files inside the Mac would simply become inaccessible. If that happened due to any file system error disk utility can repair it easily but chances of data loss is mostly likely but if happened due to hardware failure you would need another Mac supported hardware to access that Mac.
In case of file system error, simple hardware verification is more than enough to solve any such issue (to read more visit “http://drive-recovery-mac.blogspot.com/2011/06/file-system-verification-failed-my.html). Although chances of data loss is very less in this case but still keeping mac file recovery software is always keep your mind out from sense of data loss. Yes choosing such software is also not an easy job but once you chose it will always keep you aways from sense of danger.
Other reason of boot failure is hardware issues. If you were facing boot failure due to hardware failure you need to have another Mac supported OS X installed hardware (or another Mac) to resolve this issue. To resolve this limitation Apple introduce new features with latest OS X lion release and they are-
Recovery Hard Drive – The auto installed hard drive hidden partition that could be useful to boot Mac OS X in time of need.
Disk Assistance - It is same as recovery partition but Apple made it supported to external drive. (Visit Lion Recovery Disk Assistant for complete information)
If you are using lion then this task is again not that much complicated. You only need to press “option” key while booting the Mac and choose recovery disk to boot the Mac. But if you are using any other Mac version (external hardware) you need to boot your Mac targeting that disk. Once you boot your Mac you can repair any issues simply by using disk utilities or any third party Mac tools.
