Image via WikipediaEvery computer user depends on some or the other operating system to communicate with their hard disks. But what happens if due to some reason the operating system doesn't function properly. For example, if the operating system gets infected by viruses, encounters file system corruption, the system files become corrupt or missing, then the system stops functioning properly. At times, it stops functioning altogether.
In such cases, our communication with the disk gets hampered leading to inaccessibility of all the data saved therein. In such dire circumstances, we have to opt for appropriate disk recovery measures to get hold of our data.
Consider, one fine day, when you start your NTFS formatted Windows XP system, you get following error message:
The file C:\windows\system32\c_1252.nls is missing or corrupt
Reason: As stated in the message, the mentioned file is corrupt or unavailable.
Troubleshooting: following methods should help solve the problem:
1st Method: Run chkdsk on the hard disk to check for errors:
1. Insert the CD in the drive and restart computer.
2. When prompted, select appropriate option to start XP from the CD.
3. When Setup starts, follow the directions, and press R to repair or recover.
4. Enter the Administrator password, when prompted.
5. On the command prompt, type (followed by Enter):
chkdsk /r
6. After this, type exit to quit the Console.
7. Restart computer.
2nd Method: Replace Missing Files using following steps:
1.Enter the command prompt, using steps 1 to steps 4, as done in 1st method.
2.In the command prompt, type below mentioned commands (each followed by Enter):
cd system32
ren c_1252.nls c_1252.old
expand drive:\i386\c_1252.nl_ c:\windows\system32
where drive, refers to CD drive.
3.After this, type exit to quit the Console.
4.Restart computer.
3rd Method: If the above methods do not work, you will need to perform an in-place upgrade for Windows XP.
4th Method: Though the above three methods work in most of the case, but if they don't, you will need to reinstall MS Windows XP. However, be wary of the fact that reinstalling Windows leads to loss of all the data, and calls for hard disk recovery using an updated backup. However if you do not have a backup, then you will have to perform disk recovery using the most suited third-party software for this task.
Partition Recovery Software is one of the most suited software for performing the stated recovery task. With compatibility for most of the versions of Windows operating systems, including, Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP and 2000, and support for NTFS, NTFS5, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, and exFAT file formats, this hard disk recovery tool has an intuitive interface, and is simple to use.
