Disk partitioning is a common practice of computer users to divide the storage space of the hard disk and accordingly store data of different categories into them. The purpose behind making different partitions in the system also includes installation of different operating systems into it. Sometimes, a partition gets corrupted because of file system corruption, operating system malfunctioning, virus intrusion or even due to re-sizing of the partition area. All these situations lead to the inaccessibility of the data stored in that particular partition of the hard drive. In order to get your data back, you need to restore the data from the latest backup after rectifying the issues related to partition corruption. However, if you have not taken the backup or the backup process failed to restore the data, then only through one way, you can retrieve your data back, that is by using any good partition recovery software.

Let’s take a real life scenario:
These days, tools are available for making partitions to your existing hard drive partition without even losing the stored data. Take a similar scenario that you tried some application to re-size your old hard drive partition and during the process, there is a sharp power outage. Your system gets shutdown and you get the unusual blue screen with a error message.
The Error message reads like:

“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to our computer”

Explanation:
The system becomes stops booting with the Blue Screen Of Death and the error message on the screen. Hence, all your data in the hard drive becomes inaccessible.

Cause:
This is an internal problem with Windows operating system that the partition gets corrupted if the partitioning process is being carried out by a third party tool and is interrupted in the middle.

Resolution:
Start your computer and press the F8 key to go to the Windows advanced menu.
When Windows advanced options menu appears, select Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.
Try to disable your anti-virus or backup utilities and then, boot from the install CD.
Use CHKDSK command to check and repair the hard drive corruption.

If the above measures fail to resolve the issue, you need recreate all the hard drive partitions by reformatting the system. Reformatting will erase all the data in the hard drive partitions and in such circumstances, you have to use any effective Partition Recovery application to recover and restore your lost data. Such Partition Recovery applications incorporate advanced and effective scanning algorithms with an interactive graphical user interface.
