Author: Microsoft Windows registry are divided into two basic categories: System hives and User hives. The system hives store system settings, which don’t pertain to any single user. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) selects system hive file location and name. The system hive is generally named as System.hv, but its location might bse different. In case of damaged or missing system hives, the Windows computer does not boot up and you might come across critical partition inaccessibility situations. It might result into partition loss and require Partition Recovery solutions to be sorted out.
In a practical scenario, when you attempt to start your Microsoft Windows 2000 computer, you might encounter the below given error message:
When you restart your Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, you may receive the following error message:
“Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMced “
Along with the above error message, you might also come across the underwritten error message:
“System hive error”
This behavior of Windows operating system renders all of your hard drive partitions result into partition loss situations. At this point, you need to find out the cause of this issue and achieve Partition Recovery by fixing it.
Grounds of the issue
You might face this problem if any of the underwritten conditions is true:
You have installed a Promise Technology, Inc. ATA66 PCI controller card on your Windows system. This problem generally takes place while installing Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.
The System hive in Windows registry is either missing or damaged.
Windows 2000 might not be able to load registry if this is so large. This problem could take place when any process write so much data to System subkey in registry. This subkey is designed to store only information, which is essential for boot process.
Computers, which are based on ARC (RISC) architecture or Intel architecture could only use 16 MB of memory at this stage of boot process. System registry subkey has to share 16 MB with loader, HAL, kernel and boot drivers.
In these situations, you need to format the hard drive and reinstall the operating system to resolve this problem. But this procedure removes all of the hard drive partitions and cause more critical partition loss situations. Partition Recovery Software come for your help in these scenarios.
These applications are particularly designed to methodically scan affected hard drive and recover all of the lost, missing and inaccessible Windows partitions. The Partition Recovery Software are quite easy and software to use.

The hard drive partition, which is used by the system using Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is known as the EFI system partition. These Windows partitions are formatted using the FAT variant (such as FAT32 and VFAT). The store critical information such as boot loader, system tools and device driver files, which are required prior the loading of Microsoft Windows operating system.
You are suggested to take the EFI system partition as the first one, when you partition a Windows hard drive. However, when any other hard drive partition such as MSR (Microsoft Reserved) partition or the data partition is used as first partition, the system may not start. In such cases, all of the partitions may become inaccessible and critical partition loss situations occur. Partition Recovery is required to overcome these problems.
The computer system using first partition that is other than the EFI system partition may come across a number of issues, when the users try to install Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise and Data Center editions) on an Itanium based computer. In these situations, some error message might occur with the text-mode part of Setup. This issue generally occurs when the Setup itself of the user attempts to create the EFI system partition.
Computer system using Intel Itanium architecture with the Intel Microprocessors are known as the Itanium based computers.
Resolution
Follow underwritten steps to carry out Partition Recovery by resolving this problem:
Backup all the critical data from ESI system partition and the first partition of hard drive. This is also suggested to check backup status regularly with media integrity and required fields.
Delete first and then other EFI system partitions. You can use Windows PE or Recovery Console for this purpose.
In such situations, if the backup is not available or you delete the hard drive partition, partition loss will occur. In order to recover lost partitions, Partition Recovery Software are available. These are robust third party applications, which perform in-depth scan of your drive using effectual scanning methods.

In order to effectively manage your critical data, you can divide Windows hard drive into several parts, called hard drive partitions. Every hard drive partitions could be used for different purposes like installing an operating system, storing data, creating backup and more. However, a hard drive partitions could get damaged due to partition resizing, virus infection, operating system malfunction and many alike. In case of partition corruption, the data stored on particular partition becomes inaccessible and partition loss situations occur. At this point, if you do not have proper backup, you may fall in serious problem that needs Partition Recovery to be sorted out.
Consider a practical situation, where you like to re-size the hard drive partitions. When the resizing process is in progress, a power outage occurs and your computer system shuts down improperly. After this incident, when you restart the computer, you might come across the underwritten error message:
“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to our computer”
When the above mentioned error message takes place, your Windows system becomes unbootable and all of the hard disk partitions become inaccessible.
Root of the issue
The major cause of this behavior of Microsoft Windows is interrupted resizing operation. It corrupts the hard drive partitions. When you resize the partitions, all of the data that is used by operating system to identify a hard drive is changed. In case of interruption, the new data can not be written properly and thus operating system can not identify the partition.
Resolution
In order to overcome this dilemma and gain access of your Windows hard drive partitions, go through the underwritten steps to carry out Partition Recovery:
Boot your computer with “last known good configuration” in debug mode.
You must uninstall or disable the anti-virus and backup tools. Then, boot the system from install CD and use ChkDsk command to detect and repair disk related errors or corruption.
When all else fails, go to Partition Recovery Software to retrieve lost, missing or inaccessible hard drive partition. These are powerful third party applications, which use advanced scanning mechanisms to retrieve all of the hard drive partitions. These software come equipped with interactive user interface and thus do no demand sound technical skills to achieve absolute recovery.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the most comprehensive tool to recover FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions.

File system is the main component of any operating system like Microsoft Windows. It is responsible for managing files and directories on your hard drive. File system is very prone to failure and it may render all of your hard drive partitions invisible and inaccessible.
At the same time, your computer may become unbootable and all the stored data becomes inaccessible. When a file system gets damaged, the file system and drive becomes RAW. In such cases, you need to go for Partition Recovery solutions to retrieve missing, lost or inaccessible hard drive partitions and stored data.
In a practical scenario, when you attempt to repair a RAW disk using ChkDsk command line tool, the tool complaints that it is not able to carry out RAW file system recovery. It may give you the following error message:
“The type of the filesystem is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.”
The RAW drive is a hard drive partition, which has not been formatted with the NT file system neither FAT (File Allocation Table) nor NTFS (New Technology File System). RAW file system is a system provided file system drive, which is a last resort for all Input/Output requests needing file system support. When I/O manager calls the active file system to mount the hard drive volume, the RAW file system is always called last as it support all types of disks and tape media.
When the file system corruption occurs, the file system becomes RAW and Windows can not recognize the RAW file system. Thus it can not locate the stored data and access it. This behavior results into serious partition loss situations and Partition Recovery is required to overcome this problem.
File system corruption may take place due to a number of reasons such as virus infection, improper system shutdown, power outages, failed operating system upgrade and so forth. In such cases, Partition Recovery Software come for you rescue to retrieve lost Windows partitions and stored data.
These applications are particularly designed to methodically scan entire hard drive using efficient scanning mechanisms and retrieve lost partitions and data. With interactive and simple graphical user interface, these software are quite easy to use and do not require sound and prior technical skills. Partition Recovery Software do not write anything on the hard drive due to read-only demeanor.

Microsoft Windows 2003 supports the advance feature of clustering. The most important advantage that you get you clustered environment is the failover support for all back-end applications and the services, which are ought to have high availability and data integrity. You can extent your hard drive partitions/volumes in a clustered environment of Windows 2003, as per your data storage and data management requirements. This process is feasible using DiskPart.exe utility.
You can use command-extend through DiskPart utility, which allows you to easily extend disk partitions. But in some cases, when you extend disk partitions using DiskPart tool, the partition information may get lost and you might face critical partition loss situations. To overcome such situations, you need to opt for Partition Recovery solutions.
DiskPart.exe is a partition, volume and disk management utility for Microsoft Windows. It enables you to manage objects with the help of direct input or scripts from command prompt. Before using this command, you need to first list all the hard drive volumes and then choose the one to give it focus.
This utility can only be used to hard drive partitions, when your system fulfills certain requirements. These requirements include NTFS file system, the volume must be a basic volume and it must have free space at the end of existing drive. If the requirements can not be fulfilled, you might get the following error message and the process does not complete:
“DiskPart failed to extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid for extending”
In some cases, using DiskPart to extend hard drive partitions may prove harmful. It might remove the partition information and may make the partition inaccessible. This situation requires Partition Recovery to be sorted out. After changing the hard drive partition size using DiskPart in a clustered environment, while opening the partition, you might get the following error message:
“The system cannot find the path specified.”
In such situations, you should opt for Partition Recovery Software to retrieve your lost, missing or inaccessible hard drive partitions. These software are particularly designed to methodically scan the hard drive and recover all of the lost partitions. With simple and interactive graphical user interface, these software are completely easy to use.

Compact.exe is a commanding line tool of NTFS (New Technology File System) file system in Microsoft Windows operating system. As the name of this suggests, it enables the system administrators to compress or compact the files on NTFS file system partition or entire partition. You can use a number of different parameters with this command to change or view the compression state of NTFS partitions and files. Although, it is useful in a number of cases, but sometimes the compression may make your hard drive partitions inaccessible and cause partition loss. In such situations, you need to use Partition Recovery solution to recover lost partitions and stored data.
With the help of various parameters with Compact.exe tool, you can compress and uncompress the files, compress files even after experiencing errors, view hidden files and view system characteristics of files. This tool does not allow compressing NTFS file system partitions, if their allocation unit size is more than 4 KB. If you attempt to compress such hard drive partitions, you might come across the below given error message:
“The file system does not support compression”
The allocation unit size is described when you format NTFS partition so that Microsoft Windows can use it as smallest amount of disk space for allocating to a file. However, if you do not specify the cluster size, Windows takes default value. If you define larger value and then attempt to compact it further, it results into specified error message. In such cases, continuous attempts to compress the partition might make the partition inaccessible and require Partition Recovery to be fixed.
In some situations, if the allocation size unit causes this problem, you may need to format the hard drive. Formatting might allow you to change the size of allocation size unit, but it also has a downside. It removes all of the hard drive partitions and cause critical partition loss situations.
At this point, you need to go for Partition Recovery Software. These software use efficient scanning mechanisms to methodically scan the damaged hard drive and retrieve all of the missing partitions. With self-descriptive and graphical user interface, these software are easy to use and do not demand sound and prior technical skills. The Partition Recovery Software does not alter the original structure of drive and your data as they have read only conduct.

The file system encryption is a technique that allows you to transparently encrypt critical files on NTFS (New Technology File System) file system to protect your private and sensitive data from unauthorized access. This is generally used for critical financial documents, business related data and information as it is essential to keep them safe. But in some situations, file system encryption might cause serious problems and make hard drive partitions inaccessible. Such case might result into partition loss and need Partition Recovery to be sorted out.
Sometimes when you open an encrypted hard drive partition, you may find that a software tool is automatically creating folder in the drive and some of your existing files are missing. In some situations, the whole partition may become invisible. The problem could be due to virus infection or some issues with NTFS file system like corruption.
Sometimes while booting your system, which has encrypted file system drives, you might come across the following error message:
“Corrupt Master File. Cannot continue.”
After this error message, the boot process fails and Windows tries to run CHKDSK (Check Disk). In such situations, you should format the disk partitions that are having problems. If that partition contains critical data, formatting is not suggested. It may cause partition and data loss.
In some situations, formatting the hard drive partitions by simply using the “Format” function in Windows by right clicking the partition and reinstalling the operating system makes other hard drive partitions, which are not formatted, inaccessible. You can see the files but can not access them.
This behavior cause serious problems with your partitions and you need to format entire hard drive and reinstall operating system. This method is capable of resolving most of the disk related issues.
Though, it works in a majority of such situations but it also has a disadvantage. Formatting deletes all of the hard drive partitions and data. In such cases, you need to carry out Partition Recovery to recover lost Windows partitions.
This is best possible with the help of third party tools, known as Partition Recovery Software.

Modern computer systems and their storage devices are usually much more dependable than older generations. Today’s hard drives get damaged less frequently, and they alert you in advance about the upcoming breakdowns with recent S.M.A.R.T (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) status. Although, these hard drives are more safe but they are not completely fool-proof. They may also fail at any point of time and cause serious data loss. hard drive recovery becomes critical in order to overcome such issues.
The modern hard disks have greater data storage capabilities than their predecessors. Retaining the small physical size, the modern hard drives feature much higher storage density, which enables storing a huge amount of data on one or more hard drive platters. Although, larger storage capacity of hard drive is a plus point, but sometimes it can create certain issues like scanning the hard drive for data recovery and preparing the hard drive partitions post recovery becomes a very lengthy process (viz. with 2TB (Terabyte), 1.5 TB and 1TB hard drives where 1 Terabyte = 1024 Gigabyte). When the hard drive fails, you lose various types of files as data files and system files.
Data loss is always a stressful situation, but the lost data can be recovered by using either software or hardware level recovery solutions. If your hard drive fails due to operating system malfunction, file system corruption, virus infection, power loss while formatting hard drive and other similar reasons, you can get your data backup using third party data recovery software. Even if your hard drive is not accessible through the operating system or through another computer, recovery software can help you to retrieve all data from it.
You can easily use such data recovery tools to safely retrieve the lost data in challenging situations like partition corruption, file system damage, system metadata structure corruption, formatted hard drives, operating system corruption and virus infection. You should use these software only in case of logical damage that is software based problems. If the data loss has occurred due to situations like system crash or power failure and the hard drive is physically fine (that is getting detected by the BIOS and not making any noise), your hard disk is possibly unaffected and you can use recovery applications without any problem.
Integrity of your mission critical and valuable data is not a concern while retrieving the data using Hard Drive Recovery software. They have read-only and non-destructive design. These software deploy efficient scanning mechanisms to carry out absolute and quick recovery in the majority of data loss situations. These recovery software are available for most of the computer operating systems and can recovery data from a wide range of storage devices.
Stellar Information Systems Limited is the foremost provider of high-quality and reliable recovery applications. The software are available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux, UNIX and Novell Netware operating systems. These tools support recovery from the corresponding file system partitions of these operating systems.

Dual-booting or multi-booting is a method of installing two or more operating systems on a single computer. Using this method, you can install two or more versions of Windows operating system with the same or different file systems. It benefits you with the features of various operating systems, but sometimes can also create problems. A file system may damage the partitions of another file system by running disk checks (as of chkdsk) and making corrections which can cause complete data loss from the partition. In such cases, you need to carry out Partition Recovery to get your lost data back.
As a practical scenario, if you start Microsoft Windows XP in dual-boot environment with Microsoft Windows 98 or 95, use fdisk utility for deleting a partition of FAT (File Allocation Table) file system and then restart, you might no longer view or access the hard drive partitions. The partitions may not be visible even in Disk Management. This problem can occur when you take the following steps:
You make your system dual-boot between Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 95 with the primary FAT partition as drive C.
In Microsoft Windows XP, you create two partitions:
- Partition D using NTFS (New Technology File System) file system
- Partition E using FAT file system
When you use the fdisk tool, you can see only the hard drive partitions which are using the FAT file system (that is labeled D by fdisk but it is E in XP).
When you try to delete the D partition, you remove the NTFS partition instead.
In this process your NTFS partition gets deleted and your critical data stored on it gets lost.
Grounds of the issue
This problem occurs because fdisk utility can not recognize the NTFS partition and thus removes it if it exists before the logical drive which is using FAT file system. In such situations, Partition Recovery becomes essential to recover deleted partitions and salvage data from them.
It is best possible with the help of powerful and advanced third party Partition Recovery Software. This software deploys efficient scanning mechanisms to thoroughly scan the whole hard drive, locate the lost partitions and then recover them.
Most of the Partition Recovery Software come equipped with simple and user-friendly graphical user interface that does not require sound technical skills to achieve successful recovery. With read-only and non-destructive design, this software can safely recover the lost data.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a powerful Partition Recovery tool to extract data from lost, missing, deleted or formatted hard drive partitions. It supports FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NFTS5 file systems based partitions and volumes. The software is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000.

Even if you have never experienced data loss, one should still take precautions so that data on our Personal Computer hard drive, Server hard drive or RAID array drives remain intact. In order to achieve that, we need to have a fool proof backup plan in mind to help us in case of any disaster recovery. To handle data loss and recover our valuable data we need to have patience, resources and off course time. Some common symptoms of data loss are:
Ø Error messages stating that your hard drive is not recognized by BIOS
Ø Previously accessible important data and information is now invisible
Ø Rattling or scrapping sounds coming from your hard drive
Ø Computer won’t boot and faces logical crash
Ø Hard drive won’t spin that is physical crash
Ø We can not see or access hard drive partitions/volumes
In most of the situations, data loss occurs due to hard drive failure. Hard drive rotates at extremely high speed and it may cause physical malfunction. Sometimes corrupted MBR and file system could also be the reason.
Depending upon the cause of data loss, there are two forms of data recovery:
Ø Logical data recovery
Ø Physical data recovery
Logical data recovery is the method of placing the corrupted file system back so that data and files could be accessed again. Each operating system contains a file system that is the basis for indexing, organizing and accessing data. In case of file system corruption, it becomes impossible for operating system to locate files and access them.
Logical hard drive recovery can easily be performed using data recovery software. Such recovery tools are very easy to use and thus allow us to have ‘Do It Yourself’ data recovery in all possible logical data loss situations. Using data recovery software is the most economical and simple way to get your data back.
Physical Data recovery process is quite different and complex from the logical one. Here we have to decide appropriately as the cost of data recovery has to be balanced with the cost of data involved. It means the success rate and charges of data recovery service totally depend upon the extent of damage.
After considering the cause of data loss and corresponding solution, you need to find out the right solution. Either you need a data recovery software or Data recovery Services it should be powerful enough to systematically recover all your data back. A powerful data recovery solution can only be provided by a reliable, experienced and leading data recovery company.
