Sometimes, when you try to access primary partition in Windows computer, you might encounter the following error message:

“Local Disk Manager could not update the boot file for any boot partitions on the target disk. Verify your arcpath listings in the file Boot.ini or through the Bootcfg.exe utility.”

When you use Bootcfg.exe command in this case, it will update all the boot records that might cause partition corruption and partition loss problems. Such situations require Windows Partition Recovery to be handled effectively.

The Partition Recovery can easily be performed with the help of Partition Recovery Software. The applications employ high-end scanning algorithms to methodically scan the affected hard drive and extract all of the lost data from it. Partition Recovery tools are completely easy and safe to use.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the best ever made and the most advanced tool for recovering lost partitions. It is designed for Microsoft Windows 7 (RC1), Vista, 2003, XP and 2000. The software supports recovery from FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions.

The partition inaccessibility and file loss problems occur due to boot sector corruption. The NTFS (New Technology File System) file system keeps backup copy of the boot sector that you can use to restore damaged boot sector. Before you try the restore process, you should keep the following two conditions in mind. These conditions must meet for restoring the corrupted partition boot sector:

1.The partition must have NTFS file system.

2.You are able to start your system to NT.

In order to fix the damaged boot sector problem, you need to extract the backup copy of boot sector from NTFS partition and copy it back to appropriate position on your Windows hard drive. In Windows 2000, the backup copy of boot sector is stored at the end of logical partition.

For assured File Recovery during the below procedures, after verifying the NTFS file system boot sector and copy to be correct, save sector to file while seeing it. You can save it to file by selecting the ‘Save As’ option from File menu and specifying the filename and path.

Follow the underwritten steps to recover backup boot sector:

Select ‘Drives’ and then ‘Physical Drive’ using Disk Probe.

Double-click the ‘Physical Drive’. In the box under it, uncheck the ‘Read Only’ check box and click ‘Set Active’ button.

From ‘Selectors’ menu, choose ‘Read’ and insert 0 for the ‘Starting Selectors’ and 1 for the ‘Number of Sectors’, then click ‘Read’.

You are now at MBR of physical disk. Verify it by ASCII text on right hand side at Offset 8b that should read the “Invalid Partition Table.” From ‘View’ menu, choose ‘View Partition Table’. Select correct partition number that is affected.

Find backup copy of boot sector by adding 32 to half of total sectors.

Choose ‘Selectors’, Read and enter Starting Sector as the sector number calculated in previous step, ‘Number of Sectors’ as 1.

Quit Disk Prob tool and restart your system.

In case if above method does not work, Windows File Recovery through third-party applications is required. These applications are known as File Recovery Software. They are quite safe and easy to use tools.

To illustrate it, consider the below scenario:

You use a Windows installed computer system with two partitions, boot partition and a data partition

You run Linux Setup to install the operating system on free space of the hard drive

You abort the installation operation while it was creating the /boot partition

You restart the computer and find that the data partition is inaccessible

The data partition is accessible but when you use any utility that accesses partitions’ information, it reports incorrect information about hard drive partitions

Cause

You have partially or completely corrupted the MBR partition table by aborting Linux installation process. An interrupted installation might introduce errors in hard disk partition table.

Solution

To solve the existing issue, you might consider the following recommendations:

Stop 0×00000024 (0x0019033c, 0xf016e7a0, 0xf016e49c, 0xe061dcdc).”

In order to retrieve lost Windows hard drive partitions in such situations, find out the cause of this problem and go for appropriate Partition Recovery solution.

Grounds of the issue

This issue might take place if the disk resizing tool uses below IOCTLS (Input/Output Control Structure) and FSCTLS (File System Control Structure) control codes for expending the partition:

IOCTL_DISK_UPDATE_PROPERTIESIOCTL_DISK_GROW_PARTITIONFSCTL_EXTEND_VOLUME

If a third-party applications, which you are using to expending Windows partitions uses FSCTLS and IOCTLS control codes, this problem may arise.
