Parent-child relationships is a term used in e-discovery to describe a chain of documents that stems from a single e-mail or storage folder. These types of relationships are primarily encountered when a party is faced with a discovery request for e-mail. A child (i.e., an attachment) is connected to or embedded in the parent (i.e., an e-mail or Zip file) directly above it.

One physical hard disk drive can be partitioned to contain one or more logical drives when computer users utilize programs such as FDisk or Partition Magic. On large hard disk drives it is not uncommon to have multiple partitions that can be used to store data in different logical drives, like drives C or D. When multiple partitions are involved it is possible for gaps to exist between the partitions, which are referred to as partition gaps since they can be used for covert data storage. Partition gaps can

After the boot sector of each volume or partition is written to a track, it is customary for the system to skip the rest of that track and begin the actual useable area of the volume on the next track. This results in unused or wasted space on that track where information can be hidden. This wasted space can only be viewed with a low level disc viewer. However, forensic techniques can be used to search these wasted space areas for hidden information.

The hierarchical description of where a directory, folder, or file is located on a computer or network. In DOS and Windows systems, a path is a list of directories where the operating system looks for executable files if it is unable to find the file in the working directory. The list of directories can be specified with the PATH command. Path is also used to refer to a transmission channel, the path between two nodes of a network that a data communication follows, and the physical cabling that connects th

Technology that searches data for like patterns and flags, and extracts the pertinent data, usually utilizing an algorithm. For instance, in looking for addresses, alpha characters followed by a comma and a space, followed by two capital alpha characters, followed by a space, followed by five or more digits, are usually the city, state and zip code. By programming the application to look for a pattern, the information can be electronically identified, extracted, or otherwise utilized or manipulated.
