Forensic question about hard drives by Josh Roig
Suppose A wants access to all the stuff on B's HD, both deleted and undeleted, except a few letters which B wants to keep private. Is there any way to do a mirror copy of all the sectors except those containing B's private letters?

SATA power connector voltages? by Yousuf Khan
Now I just got myself a new power supply tester doohickey. It tests all kinds of cables and cords coming out of power supplies, including SATA ones. According to it, a SATA cable should see +12V, +5V, and +3.3V. Now my power supply doesn't have any native SATA cables, so I've used a 4-pin...

I was reading about the Solar storm of 1859 on wikipedia.org and about how really massive solar storms can fry electronics and... I'm curious... what could one do to protect against a hard drive against this? As I understand it, placing an object in a faraday cage should provide sufficient...

USB external drive keeps disappearing by Peter B. Steiger
From all the hype it sounded like a USB external HD was a better choice than a second IDE or SATA internal drive, so I got an iMicro 1TB drive to store my backups and recover some data from a partially disabled drive. The darn thing came with a 5-page pamphlet written in Engrish: Instruction...

Problem with phantom files on MemStickDuo by DManzaluni
I have a 2 gig non-Sony Memstick ProDuo which seems only to be able to hold 1 gig. After that it writes broken files. Full sized but broken. So it can write a 50 gig video file but as soon as it starts to read it, the read stops. No amount of self-formatting can help this situation. The...

Why does copying files to a new hard drive not defragment it? by Yousuf Khan
Well, I execute a series disk upgrades on my system yesterday and today. I copied the contents of two drives to two other new drives. Each new drive was obviously empty and freshly formatted beforehand. My assumption was that copying the entire contents of each older drive would rearrange them...
