Location predicative restoration of compressed images stored on a hard disk drive with soft and hard errors

A signal bearing medium, comprising a program which, when executed by a processor, performs a method comprising:

• indexing the multimedia data to an i by j matrix;
• storing the i by j matrix in a data storage device utilizing odd/even index sequencing of the i by j matrix;
• retrieving data from the data storage device;
• and
• reconstructing the i by j matrix utilizing odd/even index sequencing of retrieved data.

A server system for processing multimedia data, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory connected to the processor;
• and
• one or more storage devices for storing multimedia data connected to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method for processing multimedia data, comprising:
• indexing the multimedia data to an i by j matrix;
• storing the i by j matrix in a data storage device utilizing odd/even index sequencing of the i by j matrix;
• retrieving data from the data storage device;
• and
• reconstructing the i by j matrix utilizing odd/even index sequencing of retrieved data.
