Operating System Corruption due to damaged registry

All the settings and options for the windows are saved in a directory called Window Registry. This directory also contains information and settings for the hardware and all other software installed. All the changes which are done to the control panel settings or file associations or installed software are reflected in this directory also. So this directory plays an important role to a computer system and any harm or damage to this directory can lead to a big problem.

If due to any reason it damages, then it can lead to render a Windows system unbootable. Certain error messages may also get flash on your screen like

"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"

Or

"Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SOFTWARE"

The damaged Window registry can be repaired by several methods like system restoring or deleting the existing registry files, and then copying the System Restore Registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder: etc but thus doesn’t provide a full guarantee of coming up from the problem. In most of the cases when the registry directory damages the operating system corrupt and you need to reinstall .

Reinstalling the operating system is not a big deal but the one thing about which the user needs to worry is his/her valuable data. For installing the operating system one need to format his/her primary partition and if further hard disk partition had been done previously then it could lead to total data loss as it requires formatting of whole hard disk and if the disk has not been partitioned then primary partition may contain valuable data. This data may contain his project reports, his precious data and certain other things which can’t be lost.

So to overcome this problem data recovery software are available to recover your data even after the drive has been formatted. These software are available for all the file versions of Windows which hard disk partitions are based on different file systems. You have to choose among them based on the file system you are having on your computer system.
