Data Loss In FAT File System If FAT Table Is Not Updated Regularly
Are you unable to find or access the files stored on your FAT file system partition? Is you FAT file system partition of Windows computer is damaged and inaccessible? This behavior
may occur due to file system corruption, partition table damage, and
other similar situations. In such circumstances, you come across
partition loss and data loss situations. To get your mission critical and valuable data back, Windows Data Recovery becomes need ofhour, if the backup is either not updated or unavailable.
FAT is so far the most simplistic of Windows file systems.
The FAT is characterized by FAT (File Allocation Table) table. It is
actually a table, which resides at very top of FAT file system volume.
In order to protect the Windows volume/partition, two copies of FAT
table are kept if one gets damaged. Along with this, the root directory
and the FAT tables must be stored at a fixed storage location so that
boot files of your system can be located correctly.
A hard drive formatted with the FAT file system is allocated in the clusters. The size of clusters is determined by size of Windows
partition. When you create a file on FAT partition, an entry in the
directory is created and first cluster number having data is
demonstrated. The entry in FAT file system table either points to next
cluster or indicates that it is the ending cluster of file.
It
is quite essential as well as a time consuming process to update the
file allocation table. If you do not regularly update the FAT table, it
may lead to critical file system issues and data loss. It is a time
consuming process because the hard drive read head needs to be
repositioned to logical track zero of the hard drive every time when you
update the FAT table.
There is
no management of FAT directory structure and the files that are given
first open storage location on hard drive. Along with this, FAT file
system supports only hidden, read-only, archive, and system file attributes.
