Introduction

Ever had a checksum error or similar in one of your partitions? You've probably used something like Dave Haynie's DiskSalv to salvage the partition. Maybe you had a backup of the affected partition, which you could use to fix the problem.

Now imagine that you lose all partitions on a disk drive at once. If you're lucky, you have a current backup of all the data, but as Murphy would have it, that is seldom the case. If you don't have a tool which can recover your data, you may have destroyed days, weeks; even months of work.

This is by no means just a ficticious horror story -- it's happened to many people in the past. Their RigidDiskBlock (abbreviated as RDB or RDSK) or similar Management Block (e.g. Partition Blocks) has been overwritten, erased or damaged, preventing access to all data on the disk, even though the data on the disk is otherwise undamaged.

Many have undoubtedly accepted defeat in such situations and repartitioned and initialised their hard disks, thus losing all data. Others have desparately sought to reconstruct the RDB (and the associated partition blocks) by guessing partition information. But even after many hours of reconstruction, the work has not usually resulted in success, mainly because there are simply too many combinations to try. The loss of the RDB (and/or other important Management Blocks) has in the past been associated with the total loss of data on the disk.

RDB-Salv puts an end to that as of right now. RDB-Salv is a professional tool which will help you to recover your data in such situations. It's easy to use and besides offering the ability to salvage partition data, it provides functions for backing up and restoring the RDB and associated Management Blocks. It can't be any easier or more secure.
