Recover Lost Files from storage devices Using CMD

By -
Hey Friends, hoping that you all are fine.
So, sometimes we face problem with our memory storage devices that our data is lost(actually it is not lost and it is stored in your drive only, but it is made  inaccessible to you by maybe some malwares,viruses or worms) from it but still we find that computer shows us that there is data in our storage device( abc memory free, xyz memory used)! then how to retrieve that data? For that I have one solution(for Windows User) and it is below:-

Steps:-

1). Open the Command Prompt(cmd)  in your PC by opening the "Run" application and typing in it "cmd.exe" and click "Ok".


the Command Prompt Screen:-



2).Now type in your damaged drive(i.e. d:, e:, f:, etc....) so that the writing directory changes from c: to your drive, suppose my damaged  drive "d", so I will type d: in cmd as shown in the picture below.

3). Now type the command(or copy it) as shown below:-

Command:-

                                                              ATTRIB -S -H *.* /S /D 

and press "Enter".

4). Now wait till the "D:\>" again appears as shown below:

5). Now open up your affected drive from "My Computer" and Your Files are there!

6). Now at last scan that drive for Viruses, Trojans(which could have damaged your drive before recovery) if any using any good antivirus software.

7). To know how this command works go to following link:-

Note:- Although the above recovery method is safe for you as it is tested by me, but in some case if any thing occurs and the files are lost permanently from your drive then the author of this article is not responsible, try at your own risk.

How to Make Sequence Detectors(Finite State Machines)

Hello friends, this time I came up with a new Article on how to make the State Diagrams of the Sequence Detectors-Finite State Machines(FSMs) and Sequence Detectors. Almost every Computer Science student come across the finite state machines in his/her course, some students may end up with doubts in this subject. Don't worry, in this article I will show you how to make state machines by making a simple Sequence Detector. What is in this Article:- 1).Basic Knowledge of Sequence Detection 2).How to make State Diagrams? 3).Make State table from State Diagrams and generate State Equations from these table. 4).How to design the FSMs from State Equations using Flip Flops(Here, D-Flip Flops). Let's Start:- 1).  Basic Knowledge of Sequence Detection:- The Sequence we are going to detect is the 1101 and 1001 With Overlapping. This means that suppose we are given a random binary bit string like:-                       11010010000111101000001111100010101011110001101001

The free Library Contents

By -
Hi friends, While browsing the internet, I came across two great websites, and here I am putting their links:- 1). https://archive.org/ 2). http://manybooks.net/ The first website offers the digitized contents from the libraries across the world like very very old books, old video clips, some freeware soft wares from the libraries across the world. So it is very good website . The other one offers the ebooks written by very great authors like Tolstoy, Arthur Conan Doyle, and many more to download free in almost every file format(.pdf, .epub, etc...), all the ebooks published are under project Gutenberg. And finally, please donate to these websites if you can, because both of them the "archive.org" and the project Gutenberg run on donations. And Enjoy!! :-)
