HDD REGENERATOR: Save and secure your hard disk files

We dont want to see our computers not booting in windows, do we? and we dont want to lose our files either.It is really frustrating that your trying to access your files but the thing is you cannot open them. The saddest part is that you cant open your drives too. how is that happen?

Well, there are lot of factors that can cause a hard drive to fail and they are almost all preventable if you know how to take good care of your hard drive and your computer as well. Anyway, probably the biggest cause of hard drive failure could be the Bad Sector. A bad sector is a sector on a computer's disk drive or flash memory that cannot be used due to permanent damage (or an OS inability to successfully access it), such as physical damage to the disk surface or failed flash memory transistors. It is usually detected by a disk utility software such as CHKDSK or SCANDISK on Microsoft systems, or badblocks on Unix-like systems. When found, these programs may mark the sectors unusable (all file systems contain provision for bad-sector marks) and the operating system skips them in the future.(wikipedia)

Good thing there is HBCD, we've been using this tool and so far, it does not disappoint us. HDD Regenerator is a unique program in hbcd for regeneration of physically damaged hard disk drives. It does not hide bad sectors, it really restores them. It can repair damaged hard disks without affecting or changing existing data. As a result, previously unreadable files and drives are recovered.

CCTV Remote Viewing: DVR NETWORK CONFIGURATION

Having a CCTV surveillance camera today is a must for every offices, home and other businesses infrastructure..but being able to view them through any various PDA phones like Android phones, BlackBerry phones, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Windows Mobile phones and laptops is what we need in this very fast pace world.

Now if you already had a CCTV installed in your area, then thats great! But the first thing you really need to consider is that your DVR( Digital Video Recorder) should or must be Internet capable or at least should have a LAN Port.Through that port youll be able to connect to the router or modem which will make your DVR accessible to your gadgets.

Second, you have to configure your dvrs' network setup.

DVR Network Configuration:

Using a modem:
Adjust the DHCP mode Setup to whatever your ISP provider provided you. for example,
  • if you are using DHCP or automatically obtained ip address. select DHCP.
  • if you are using STATIC IP, just assign your intenal ip address for the dvr and assign the gateway and primary address from your modem.( you can skip creating account at dyndns.com)
 
Use menu on DVR to assign internal IP and gateway and port number.You have to take note of the port number you have entered coz it will be used on Port Forwarding.

Using a router:

Look for Gateway. If the Gateway is 192.168.1.1, then you can make the DVR's IP anything from 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.255

Input the ip address to DMZ(demilitarized zone) or port forwarding.

So we have now an installed cameras, an Internet Capable DVR, and a router or modem. Now where in for Creating an account at www.dyndns.com.
