Windows Partition Corrupt After Aborting Operating System Installation

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:04:00 +0000

On a Windows installed computer, you can install Linux as the second operating system. To proceed Linux installation, you need to create /boot partition using free space available on the hard disk or by shrinking the existing Windows partition. You are not recommended to abort the Linux installation while the Setup is creating space for /boot partition. Doing so might render the Windows partition inaccessible. Your data might get lost and thus, to restore the data, you will need to use your current data backup. If it is not feasible as data backup is damaged or incomplete, you need to use an efficient Windows Partition Recovery application.

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:

You can delete and recreate the damaged partition provided you have a valid data backup available

If you do not have any clean backup that could be used to restore the lost information, you need to use a third-party utility Partition Recovery

Windows Partition Recoverytools are suitable applications that could restore lost data from a corrupted, damaged, lost or formatted hard disk partition. These software are embedded with advanced options and safe, yet powerful, scanning algorithms that could locate the missing data and restore it at a safe location. Such utilities serve as comprehensive recovery products to recover logically crashed Windows partitions.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is a fully-competent to recover and restore Windows partitions for Windows 7 RC1, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000 based systems. It is a non-destructive program to Recover Windows Partition. The tool provides you advanced options, such as RAW File Recovery, Drive Status, Disk Imaging and more.

I don’t know if it’s because I have a column in Linux Journal or because of
