After partition is damaged
Many friends may have encountered such situation: when you are reading data, hard disk is pulled out or power supply is cut, which may lead to hard disk partition damage. After that, we can’t normally access data in the hard disk partition. If the system partition is damaged, we can’t normally start the operating system. What remedy shall we take at this time? When the partition damage causes the situation that our system can’t be started, we can repair the operating system with the operating system installation disk. Let’s look at the detailed operation.
When partition damage prevents the system from being started normally, we can use the operating system installation disk to perform recovery operations, steps as follows: First we put the disk into the drive, then run the sfc / scannow command in command prompt. The command is to detect system files. If the protected file is detected to have been overwritten by the incorrect file, it will extract the correct system file from the backup system file to replace the incorrect one. If we know the address of the missing files, we can use the expand command to restore lost files on the operating system directly. Thus we successfully restore the operating system as before.
If the corrupted partition causes data loss, recovery is even simpler. After computer hard disk partitions are damaged, partitions can’t be displayed on the “computer” in some cases. Because the hard drive partition table was destroyed, the system can’t recognize the partition. We can use MiniTool Partition Wizard, a server partition magic, to recover the hard drive partition table, so partitions can be displayed normally. Many reasons can lead to the situation that partition can’t be displayed normally, not only because hard disk partition table is damaged. If repairing the hard disk partition table has no effect, firstly we can use MiniTool Power Data Recovery’s “Damaged Partition Recovery” function module to recover data to avoid delay on using data, and then look for other solutions.
Although we can use many methods to resolve the partition damage problem, can we rest assured of them whether or not? In fact, it is only a remedy to data recovery due to partitions damage with data recovery software. Therefore, we should take preventive measures to avoid partition damage. The following points are based on my experience of using computer for many years, by which the user can minimize the possibility of suffering partition damage.
1. Anti-virus software should be installed on your computer. Meanwhile, you should periodically upgrade anti-virus software and regular kill the virus. Some viruses can attack MBR partition table in your computer, and then alter the data in the MBR, leading to partition damage.
2. In the process of using the computer, you should pay attention to keep stability. Avoid illegal operations of abnormally turning off the computer, such as: directly shut it off with switch button.
3. Hard drive should be stopped before you pull it, or it may cause data loss on partitions.
4. Use professional partition management software to manage partition.
If we note these conditions above when using the computer, your hard disk partition will have small possibility of being damage. In addition, the operations such as regular de-fragmentation and surface test can perfectly help users optimize partition to bring it into full play.
Many people may be annoyed by the partition damage. However, if you encounter partition damage again, you will not be so anxious and helpless after reading this article. I also hope my methods can help you solve problems you come across.
