Floppy Read Error
As I think, this is also one of the main reasons of data loss in any organization or for any personal computer user that causes the data loss frequently.
The floppy is one of the most unreliable sources of storage. It is a very common problem that the user was having some important data in a floppy and now the computer is displaying the message indicating floppy read error.
Though the loss of data in such cases is not major and also most of the time another backup of that data is available but in the cases when the backup were not saved or available, the loss of data takes place. The serious problem with the floppy is it frequency to display read error.
Floppy read error may also be very serious thing in some cases. For example, when you install antivirus or any other software in your computer that provides you the facility to make a backup or recovery disk which may help you to recover the system in case of some serious virus attack or due to some corruption of software, usually the backup is made in floppy disks.
In such cases it becomes very important for the floppy not to give any error when used to recover the system. The floppy read error in such case may make you to face a big trouble of data.
Deletion of important data
It is possible for any user to delete any important file by mistake under any confusion or misunderstanding. This type of data loss may be the loss of a single file or multiple files.
Password loss
The loss of password should also be included in the loss of data as it shows all the characteristics of data loss. Data loss takes place if user forgets his password and also like any other type of data loss, password is also needed to be recovered, if lost. However in this book we are not going to discuss any type password recovery.
