Macs are considered as the computers of innovative
excellence. In fact, the design, advanced and useful features have collectively
worked in making a brigade of loyal fan following for Mac OS X. But, at the end
of every piece of appreciation and praise it is just another computer that is designed
and developed to perform certain tasks.
There are many things on which the smooth
functioning of your Mac depends and one among them is the file-system. File
system keeps the data and their storage information in an organized way.
While booting, the Mac OS fetches this
information’s from the file system and is able to load the asked data. If the
file system encounters any problem, all the data in corresponding Mac volumes
becomes inaccessible and you need to take the help of any Mac recovery
utility.
In the course of using your Mac, there are many
situations of trouble, which never can be avoided. Most of the time, corruption
of the file system is system driven and not knowingly caused by the users.
Though some external works of users lead to file
system corruption in Mac, the instances are so accidental that users have
hardly any role to play in them. Some of the key reasons behind file system
corruption can be unexpected/improper system shut down, virus/malware
infection, contradiction with newly installed hardware/software, operating
system corruption etc.
Following corruption of the file system, you may
come across various error messages, while trying to access the corresponding
Mac volumes. One such error message that you may have encountered is written
below:
“-123 wrgVolTypErr Not an HFS volume [wrong volume
type error or (obsolete) operation not supported for MFS]”
The above error message indicates that the file
system of your Mac has been damaged, which result in the inaccessibility of
precious data in the volume. For such situations, Apple has provided one
helpful inbuilt utility, 'Disk Utility'.
Disk Utility is able to repair the corrupt file
system and recover inaccessible data from the troubled volumes.
In case, Disk Utility fails to resolve the problem,
you can use another utility, 'fsck'. The 'fsck' utility is also a powerful
application that verifies the integrity of the file system and repairs the
same, if it finds any problem.
But, if there has been severe damage to the file
system, both Disk Utility and 'fsck' fail to resolve the problems. Under such
circumstances, you need to take the help of any advanced Mac data recovery
utility to recover your lost or inaccessible data back.
This Mac software is developed with highly
innovative algorithms, which can recover any data that has been lost/inaccessible
due to deletion, formatting or corruption. Moreover, all such software’s are
completely reliable and pretty easy to use, without even any technical
assistance.
Conclusion:
StellarPhoenix Mac Data Recovery is one such utility that can easily recover the
data from a severely corrupted Mac hard drive using its in-built powerful
algorithms. Do give a chance to this software if you need to extract data from
a damaged media.
