Resolving "STOP: 0x000000c2" Error Message in Windows XP

When you upgrade your operating system (viz. from Windows 98 SE to Windows XP), you may encounter an error message related to operating system failure while bootup. The most important factor responsible for the occurrence of a STOP error message is the incompatibility of the operating system with your system configuration as evident in incompatible driver issues and more. Two outcomes that you might have to encounter after the occurrence of STOP error message are unbootable hard drive volume and data inaccessibility. In such situations, you will need to restore the data from an updated and validated backup. But, if you have not maintained such backup or the backup fails to restore the required data, then you will need to use advanced Data Recovery Software.

Consider a practical instance; you upgrade to Windows XP operating system on a system that has an ATI RAGE FURY MAXX Graphics Card. After the upgradation process is complete and you restart your system, you encounter the below STOP error message:

"STOP: 0x000000c2
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
BAD_POOL_CALLER"

After the above error message appears, the system stops responding making all the data inaccessible.

Cause:

The root cause for the occurrence of the above error message is the incompatibility of the ATI RAGE FURY MAXX Graphics Card driver with Windows XP operating system.

Resolution:
To resolve this behavior, you will need to follow these measures:

Download or obtain an updated video driver from the computer manufacturer.
Make sure that any new software or hardware is correctly installed.
Ensure that you have all the Windows updates in case of a new installation.
Disable or remove any newly installed software or hardware.
Disable BIOS (Basic Input Output System) memory settings such as, caching and shadowing.

If the same system’s behavior persists and the data remains inaccessible, then you will need to use advanced data recovery software. Such Data Recovery applications employ advanced and powerful scanning algorithms to systematically recover your lost data. With their simple and interactive user-interface, these tools are easy to understand.
