Recovery of data from Windows Error

A Windows error message is not only a nuisance for the user but if it were to contain some data that is critical to the business or even some very dear multimedia files, your problems compound. Infact, you are more bothered about the safety of those files saved in the computer's hard drive than fixing the error. This situation calls for the use of Windows data recovery software that can recover the data from any kind of data loss. You still need to try and fix the error first and that involves understanding its cause and then trying out the resolution methods.

Symptom:

You try to log on to one of the domains of your Windows 2000 computer and receive the following message:-

“STOP: c000021a (Fatal System Error)”

Cause:

This is a problem in which the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your computer has a length of exactly 200 bytes. When the logon process is initiated, one character more than 200 bytes is written which leads to heap corruption.

Resolution:

You need to install the latest service pack for Windows 2000 to fix this problem. There is another way of working around this problem. All you need to do is to make your domain name one character less. You can use the local administrator of your computer to do this as the particular domain is not accessible.

This particular error was caused by a bug in Windows which was fixed by the subsequent service pack. Since, it is not a very complicated process to work around this problem, you can rest assured about it. At times the problems become more complex and you need to implement some very complex procedures to fix it. In case your attempts at Windows recovery do not work out, you can always use software which can recover your data.

Configuring a basic disk containing system partition to a dynamic disk may result in serious data loss

Dynamic disks are different from basic disks as they are configured or initialized specifically for dynamic storage of data. A dynamic disk uses Logical Disk Manager (or LDM) database which is 1MB in size to store information about all the dynamic volumes present on it. A dynamic disk supports different types of dynamic volumes, such as simple volume, spanned volume, mirrored volume, striped volume, and RAID 5 volume. But you may face serious cases of data loss on your system if you try to convert a basic disk containing a system partition to a dynamic disk and vice versa. In such situations, to recover back your lost inaccessible data, you should perform Windows data recovery through a third party utility.

For instance, you may come across the following error message after starting your Windows 2000 based computer:

“STOP: 0x0000007b (0xf881b84c,0xc0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

0xc00000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND ”

Cause:

This error may be caused as a result of a mismatch between the primary disk group identity of the hard disk and the one that is stored in the registry. This can happen due to the following reasons-

• You try to convert your basic disk that contains the system partition to a dynamic disk.
• You try to install the hard disk in a different Windows 2000 based computer after removing it from your system.
• You try importing your system hard disk to a dynamic disk group on a different Windows 2000 based computer.

This may make your system unbootable and render all the valuable data stored in your system inaccessible. Here, you need to have an updated backup in order to recover Windows. If the backup is missing, you should follow the below mentioned resolution steps.

Resolution:

In your system, try deleting the primary disk group registry key by using registry editor.

But modifying the registry incorrectly may lead to permanent data loss on your system. To prevent any such situation, you need to go for Windows recovery by taking help of a reliable recovery software. These software can recover Windows files from any scenario of data loss and are compatible with all the latest Windows operating systems, such as Windows 7, Vista, Server 2003, XP, and 2000.
