Partition Recovery When Disk Administrator Corrupts Windows Partitions

In Microsoft Windows, Disk Administrator is a useful tool that provides you a number of options to manage your hard drive. Using this feature, you can delete, shrink, format or merge hard drive partitions and assign drive letters. But in some cases, when it writes disk signatures to the disk partitions, the partitions may get damaged and you come across partition loss situations. In order to recover lost partitions in these cases, Partition Recovery through effective tools, is required.
When you install Microsoft Windows operating system and start Disk Administrator for first time, Windows writes disk signature to drives before it opens Disk Administrator window.
In a practical scenario of partition damage, when you open Disk Administrator for the first time all the partitions and drives appear correctly, but when you close and reopen the Disk Administrator, some hard drive partitions are lost and wrong information is shown on others. Additionally, the Disk Administrator may hand during the initialization process and you get below error message:
"The parameter is incorrect"
The problem occurs if you have three or more logical drives in the extended partition when the Disk Administrator tries to write fault tolerance signature. You will not encounter this problem if the signature is already there. You may also find that NTFS (New Technology File System) partitions show 0 byte free and 0 bye full space on drive after writing the signatures. This overall behavior of Microsoft Windows cause partition loss and require Windows Partition Recovery to be fixed.
Root of the problem
Microsoft Windows Disk Administrator writes the fault tolerance signatures to MBR (Master Boot Record) for every physical drive, if it does not present, when it runs initially. Incorrect calculations in this process cause corruption of the logical drive in existing extended partition. When the partition table entries overwrite currently stored data, file system integrity and data are compromised and you encounter partition loss.
Resolution
If your system is damaged, but MS Windows boots up, obtain the CORRECT.EXE tool to correct partition table. This process may repair the partition table, but does not guarantee recovery of your data.
To recover the lost data, Partition Recovery Software are required. They are powerful third-party applications, which carry out extensive scan of damaged hard drive and retrieve lost partitions. The applications allow you to Recover Partition in an easy, quick and safe way.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the most advanced and efficient tool for assured recovery of your lost partitions. The software recovers FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions from your Windows hard drive. It is compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 RC1, Vista, 2003, XP and 2000.
