A file system in the computer systems is the method or mechanism that helps in storing the files on the computer. Apart from this, it also lays the rules to organize the data and also to retrieve it. Also, these enable to maintain the physical location of the files. However, when the file system gets corrupt due to various reasons such as virus infections, abrupt system shutdown, power outages, etc, the computer system becomes inaccessible making the data vulnerable. In such cases, you should try to repair the file system using in-built Windows methods. However, if you are unable to provide any solutions then you should use a third-party data recovery software to recover all the data.
Let us take a look at a practical scenario in which you start your Windows XP system only to find it stuck at the system startup.
“Unmountable Boot Volume”
Cause:
This problematic situation can appear due to either of the following reasons:
• You are using a standard 40-wire connector cable instead of the 80-wire, 40-pin cable to connect the UDMA drive to the controller.
• The settings of the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) are defined as as to use the faster UDMA modes.
• The file system of your Windows operating system is damaged. Which is why, you are unable to mount the system.
Resolution:
To resolve the problem, you can perform the following methods according to the particular issue:
• You should replace the 40-wire cable with an 80-wire UDMA cable, if the problem is due to the incompatible connector cable.
• If it is because of the incorrect BIOS settings, then you should reactivate the most frequently used options like USB Support after loading the 'Fail-Safe' default settings.
• If the file system is damaged, then perform the following steps to fix the problem:
◦ Restart the system using a Windows XP CD-ROM.
◦ Press R to enter the Recovery Console.
◦ Type chkdsk /r and press Enter.
◦ Type 'exit' in the command prompt and press Enter to restart the system. This should solve the problem.
If you are still are getting the same error message or unable to start the system, then you would need to format the hard drives and reinstall the operating system. But before doing this, you should use a third-party data recovery software to recover all the inaccessible data from the system. With the help of read-only mechanisms and rich user interface, these data recovery utilities ensure safe and easy file recovery.
