After almost two years development and one year Beta testing, the Lazesoft Recovery Suite V4.2 RC has been released.
Recovery Suite 4.2 Home Screen shot
Lazesoft Recovery Suite V4.2 Beta was posting online on March 19, 2016. As the drive image file has been changed to support the incremental image backup and differential image backup, we used one year to do the beta testing and make sure the modified drive image file format is stable.
During the Beta testing, we got many feedbacks and suggestions from your best users and customers. With their helps and the efforts of our RD team, several bugs have been fixed and the quality of the product has been improved. Thank you, our best users and customers.
Because of the free upgrades of Windows 10 in last year, there is more than 25% Market Share on the desktop operating system market. As the requests of more and more users, we added the options to create the Windows 10 32bit or 64bit PE boot disk.
Microsoft Windows Disk Management console has limitation to create FAT32 volume larger than 32GB. Nowadays, 64GB and 128GB USB flash disk, memory card are more and more common to be seen. For the large volume on the USB or external disk, Microsoft recommends use the EXFAT file system. To support the data recovery on these drives, EXFAT file system data recovery is added on the data recovery module of the Lazesoft Recovery Suite.
A lots of customers reports they need to recover the Windows product to reinstall the Windows, but the hard disk is crashed. The Windows product key cannot be read from the Windows registry file. To solve this problem, we added the ability to read the Windows product key from the BIOS even the hard disk and Windows operating system is crashed.
4K and 5K monitor has been produced and used by desktop users. But, for some notebooks, the screen resolution still can be 1280×800. It is a big challenge to support variety of screen resolutions on the WinPE boot disk. So, the option to set screen resolution in the boot disk is developed.
New features, Fixed Issues and Improvements for version Lazesoft Recovery Suite V4.2:
Create a Windows 10 32bit or 64bit PE boot disk
Recover data from the EXFAT file system
Recover Windows 8/8.1/10 OEM product key from BIOS even the Windows boot volume is crashed
Add Network Interface Card Drivers in the boot disk
Support Incremental image backup
Options to set screen resolution in the boot disk
Options to encrypt the backup image with different options
Command line interface (only for the paid versions)

Wiping Algorithms of Lazesoft Recovery Suite
How does wiping perform
Introduction
“Deletion is not secure. When a file is deleted, only the file name and file entry is marked deleted. This mark tells the system the file has been deleted and the space is free’. In fact the data of the file remains on the disk. It may remain on the hard drive until the ‘free space’ is overwritten. Formatting is also not secure. When a partition is formatted, only the file file allocation table, bitmap, boot sectors, and some file system reserved area are overwritten. The file directory table and file data maybe still remains on the disk. The files deleted or in the formatted partition can be recovered by data recovery software.” This is the reason, why the Wipe feature is required.
About the wipe algorithms
All the wipe algorithms performs the overwriting of all the sectors in the selected partition or disk, including the data area and free space.
There are several algorithms to wipe:
“Erases with one-pass zeros” – all the sectors are overwritten once with “0”;
“Erases with one-pass random characters” – all the sectors are overwritten once with random characters;
“DOD 3 passes” – all the sectors are overwritten with 0’s, then 1’s and then once with random characters.
I have a Dell Laptop which is running ATI graphics with Intel processor and 4GB RAM. When I am trying to reboot the computer as usual this morning, the screen will become black and then I will get the following error that says:
“
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000225
Info: An unexpected error has occurred.
”
The boot 0x0000225 is related to the BCD file, not the MBR:
Similar problem is:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000034
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information
To fix the boot error 0x0000225, you can do the steps as guides in the error screen:
Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer to repair the error.
Nowadays, the computer manufacturers normally do not provide Windows installation disc for the laptop customers. Our freeware, Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition can assist you to make a Lazesoft Rescue disk to solve the problem.
If you have Windows installation disc and tried Windows installation disc to fix, but the Windows installation disc did not fixed the problem, you can also try our all-in-one freeware Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition to fix the problem. Lazesoft boot disk is very powerful and easy-to-use.
The following are the steps to use new version of Lazesoft Recovery Suite or Lazesoft Windows Recovery to fix the error 0x0000225:
On Windows 7, 8 and Windows 8.1, you can create a password reset disk. If you forget your Windows password, you can use the created password reset disk to create a new one. It is recommended to create a password reset disk when you create/change your password.
The following are the steps to create a password reset disk
However, many people face the situation, when they try to log in their Windows, they forgot the password. They don’t lose access to your files and information. But, it seems they only have two options: input the right password or insert a password reset disk.
If you are facing the situation and the password reset disk was not created before, what can you do to solve the problem?
Actually, there is another option to solve the problem. You can create a Lazesoft boot disk and then use the Lazesoft boot disk to solve the problem. Let me try to figure out the problem step by step.
At first, please make sure your locked computer boot from the Lazesoft boot disk.
