I just realised that my HDD is dead
I just want to know if I can recover data from it now?
Please help
This usually happens when the update loads a temporary profile, so start by making sure you are signed in to your primary account. Check the folders inside C:\Users to see if your original profile still holds the missing files. Then review File History, Previous Versions and the Windows.old folder because these are the safest recovery points Windows creates during major updates. If these options do not bring back your data, you can turn to Stellar Data Recovery since it scans the drive without putting extra strain and clearly shows you what is recoverable before you restore anything.

It usually means the file system on your SD card is corrupted, but the data is still physically there. Don’t format it yet- that only makes recovery harder.
I’ve been trying to keep up with recent developments in SD card tech, but it’s hard to tell what’s actually new or important. Have there been any recent announcements—new speed standards, higher-capacity cards, or major improvements from manufacturers? Curious what innovations are coming next and how they might affect cameras, phones, or data storage setups.

I have a RAID 10 with 8 drives. Four drives — disk0, disk2, disk5, and disk7 — have failed. I imaged the 4 working drives and created a virtual RAID using those along with 4 empty drives. When I scan the virtual RAID, the size and partition layout don’t appear correct.
Looking for some help or suggestions on how to fix this.

You’ve got some recovery options even without using iCloud.
1. Check your “Recently Deleted” album. Photos deleted within 30 days can be easily recovered from here.
2. Use iTunes backups or Finder on Mac. If you’ve backed up your iPhone to a computer, you can recover the photos from it.
Connect your iPhone → open iTunes/Finder → choose your device → click Restore Backup.
3. Try iPhone recovery software. If you don’t have a backup, this is the best choice for you. Try iPhone data recovery tools like Stellar Data Recovery for iPhone, or iMobie PhoneRescue.
The software scans your device and shares the data that can be recovered.
Install the software on your computer (not the iPhone) and connect your iPhone via USB.
You need to avoid using the iPhone too much as every new app, photo, or update can overwrite the deleted data and lower the chances for recovery.
When you put a Sony memory card into a Canon camera, the Canon system usually reformats or changes the way the card stores data. That’s why all your Sony footage suddenly “disappeared”.
Here’s what you can do:
If the footage is super important and software recovery doesn’t work, it might be worth sending it to a pro data recovery lab — they have hardware tools to dig even deeper.
Pro tip for next time:
Always back up before switching cards between different camera brands, and format the card inside the camera you’re going to use. Saves a lot of headaches later.
Hi everyone,
While trying to update or install Windows, I keep seeing the error message “Something didn’t go as planned.” The process stops midway, and restarting or retrying doesn’t help. I’m not sure what’s causing it — could be Windows Update, installation files, or system configuration.
Can someone explain why this error occurs and provide step-by-step methods to fix it? I’d appreciate reliable solutions that ensure a smooth update or installation without losing data.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone,
I’ve noticed that a large portion of my RAM is marked as “Hardware Reserved Memory” in Task Manager, which leaves very little usable memory for my system. This is slowing down performance, and I’m not sure what’s causing it.
Can someone explain why Windows reserves too much memory for hardware and share step-by-step methods to fix or reduce it? I’d like to make sure I’m using all available RAM without affecting system stability.
Thanks in advance for your help!
This error usually pops up when Windows notices a driver or memory process taking too long to respond and it gets protective, so the system throws a blue screen to avoid damage. The easiest fix is to update your graphics and chipset drivers through Windows Update or the device makers site because outdated drivers trigger this most often. If that does not help then run a memory check with Windows Memory Diagnostic and let it complete fully since weak RAM can also cause this. You can also open Command Prompt as admin and run sfc /scannow followed by DISM restore health to repair any system files that got corrupted.
