Setting Up Your Home Office- Things to Consider
With the number of telecommuters increasing every year and the amount of workers who bring work home with them at night or on weekends, it's no surprise that more and more folks are setting up an office at home.For some, putting together a home office is as simple as purchasing a laptop and having a free outlet. They can work anywhere. For others, it isn't quite that easy.What you'll need for a home office depends on a number of things: how your office will be used, how often you'll be using the space, specific job requirements, family circumstances, space limitations, and budget. For some, inevitably, other considerations will arise during the planning phase.Perha

Causes of Damage
However, obsolescence is the typical culprit. All drives will fail eventually, but a mixed bag of conditions causes premature drive failures -- heat, water, impact, power interruptions, viruses or environmental contami

Successful Newsletter Publishing: Keep Your Focus on What Matters
The other day, I was having an email conversation with a friend about business goals.She mentioned that she'd started a book only to realize she didn't want to write one *right now* after all.She had mixed feelings about the decision, though. After all, *everyone* says a good consultant *must* write a book. And she was feeling the pressure.In a reply email, I offered her a piece of advice that, as soon as I'd typed it, I knew was really advice for *me* and not her.Have you ever had that happen? You're talking with someone and you hear yourself making a suggestion that you realize (on the spot or later on) is exactly what *you*

What would happen to your data if:

you backed your SUV over your laptop?
your laptop spent two days in a sunken cruise ship submerged at the bottom of the Amazon River?
firefighters rescued your computer's scarred carcass from a flaming warehouse?

Data recovery specialists restored the lost data in all of the above situations. Fire, flood, and road rage is all in a day's work for these knights of the byte.

About a Drive Unit
But first, some background. Drive units contain read/write heads that transmit data to recording platters. The head flies above the platter, separated by a painfully thin cushion of air.

Measured in microns, the thickness of a human fingerprint is many times higher than the head's flying height. If the head makes direct contact with the recording platter, particles are knocked off the head and the platter and are caught in the air cushion where they grind off the platter's recording media. The drive can corrupt in as little as fifteen minutes or it could take several days.

Peltier reminisced about the customer who applied "a few drops of oil" inside the drive enclosure because the motor wasn't turning. The enclosure was saturated with oil and the oil prevented the head from flying. The recording surface was ground clean. "A few drops! He should have added a dipstick!" Peltier said.

How To Be A Sales Socrates
What do salespeople and philosophers have in common?For one thing, they have time to think, which is very rare these days.Look around you, particularly on the highways at 7:45 or 8:45 in the morning, People are rushing to get to work so they can then rush from one task to another.Usually, they aren’t in charge of their schedules—other people make decisions for them as to where they’ll be, and with whom they’ll speak, and when they’ll do it.Salespeople are some of the few functionaries in our society who can plan their communications with prospects and clients, who can reflect on their goals for meetings, and who can take some care in adopting certain strategies

While fire can cause heat damage, overheated equipment is the most likely cause. If the ambient (i.e. room) temperature becomes too high, changes in air pressure will reduce the air cushion's thickness. The read/write head contacts the recording platter and corruption occurs.

Physical shocks or high vibration levels cause similar damage.

Environmental contamination usually occurs if the seal that goes around the drive is damaged. (Not all drives have these seals). With the seal damaged, particles in the air or cigarette smoke can find their way between the head and the platter where they will grind away the recording media.

Water damage occurs because contaminants in water are corrosive to the metals found inside the drive, causing microscopic pitting.

Power interruption also causes damage. Sudden power failure or lightning strike can cause the drive to lose RPMs (revolutions per minute). This causes air pressure to drop, which in turn reduces the head's flying height.

Viruses can create havoc through software damage.

Prevention

Peltier suggests the following practices will increase your chances of data recovery:

Backup, and store your backup data off site.
Do not apply power to a damaged drive. Power diminishes the ability to recover data. Power down immediately if your drive emits grinding, scraping or clicking sounds. Continuing to write to the media will increase the amount of corruption and will destroy clues or "Rosetta
