Invalid partition Table and Recovery

Today data loss has become very common problem for computer user. It can happen due to a number of reasons including logical crash, physical crash and human error. If data loss happens due to any of these situations, you need data recovery solutions, either data recovery software or data recovery service, to recover your lost data.

Sometimes when you power up your windows system, your system may stuck in boot window with an error message showing:

Cause

When you start your computer, it examines the master partition table to decide which volume to use for booting the operating system. This message occurs when more than one hard drive partitions are set “active” or bootable. In this situation, the system detects invalid information within it. This error occurs due to missing or incorrect active partition. This error message may also occur due to possible corruption or deletion of master partition table.
Resolution

you can resolve this issue by considering the following steps:

1. Boot your system with Windows Bootable disk and select “correct boot up device”.
2. In the DOS command prompt, type “fdisk”
3. it will display the option to change active drive

This method works in most of the cases where you have set the invalid active partition but in case where the master partition table is corrupted, it won’t work. In this situation, you need to reinstall the operating system to fix the problem.
