“Error loading operating system” Error in Windows XP?


As a practical example, you may come across the below error message when you boot your Microsoft Windows XP computer:
“Error loading operating system”
The problem generally occurs after upgrading or reinstalling Microsoft Windows in your computer. After this issue, Windows cannot boot up and prevents you to access your computer hard drive and stored data. In order to gain access of your valuable data in such cases, you are required to identify the cause of this issue and perform disk data recovery by sorting it out.
Grounds of the issue-
This behavior may occur if any of the below conditions is true:
  • The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) of your Windows computer's doesn't support or properly manage the storage capacity of your hard drive.
  • The hard drive isn't correctly setup in the computer CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
  • The hard drive partitions are either damaged or missing.


Solution
Try out following things to tackle with this problem-
  • If the problem is caused by BIOS problems, update your system BIOS.
  • Check out the hard drive settings of your computer in CMOS. Verify that the drive is detected in CMOS. Try changing “Access Mode” of your hard drive to either LBA (Logical Block Addressing) or Large.
  • If damaged or missing partitions are causing the problem, delete and recreate them.
Although, the above methods may fix the issue, but also has a few drawbacks. Incorrect modification to BIOS and deletion of Windows partitions may cause serious data loss situations. In such circumstances, it becomes essential to use third-party hard disk recovery software to extract lost data from Windows hard disk.
The Disk Recovery applications are powerful enough to perform intensive scan of affected Windows hard drive and retrieve lost data. They have rich graphical user interface to enable recovery on your own. With read-only conduct, they perform safe recovery and preserves integrity of your data.
