How To Recover Data After Disk Boot Failure?

Updated on July 09, 2022

It’s very common that people lose their data loss due to disk boot failure in their computer systems. Boot failure occurs when you are starting your computer system and the system is unable to find any registry files. So, this makes the system unbootable and restricts the user to access their computers data. For example, when you try to start the computer, you might get a boot failure error message suggesting that it cannot load because of a computer disk configuration problem (or) you may also encounter an error message such as “DISKBOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER”.

The above message means that there is a disk boot error and you can no longer have access to the computer. The only remedy is to reinstall the operating system. But this remedy might turn into a disaster because after reinstallation all the valuable data that were present on your hard disk will be lost.

Why Do Hard Drives Fail To Boot?

• Wrong BIOS Settings: The BIOS is a program which runs at the beginning of a computer startup. It identifies computers hardware and provides access to settings regarding the computer hardware. Among other settings, the BIOS integrate boot settings that tell the computer how to boot and what medium to boot from, such as floppy disk, hard disk, CD or network. Setting a wrong order for the booting devices might leave the computer failing to boot
• Boot Sector Viruses: Most viruses cause damage to the files on the hard disk, but there are some viruses which can cause damage to the boot sector of the hard disk. When a boot sector is infected the hard disk drive fails to boot
• Hardware Issues: Hardware problems are other possible causes for boot failures. Faulty RAM memory or hard disk drives are the most common. A memory with bad sectors might show up at the system check as OK, but as the booting information is loaded into the bad sectors, it might prevent booting.
• Software Problems: A failure of the operating system or other third party software which conflicts with system settings can also lead to a boot failure. In such cases, using a system recovery disk or reinstalling the operating system is the only solution. Which may result in data loss
