Under certain situations, you may not start your Windows computer due to media failure or system data structure corruption. While booting the system, you might encounter internal database corruption errors and the boot process will halt. Such situations make your valuable and vital data inaccessible and result as critical file loss scenarios. To tackle such cases, you need to opt for File Recovery solutions.

While attempting to boot your Windows computer, you might encounter the below given error message:

“ERROR_INTERNAL_DB_CORRUPTION

Unable to complete the requested operation because of either a catastrophic media failure or a data structure corruption on the disk.”

After this error message, the boot process gets terminated and you can not access the files and data from your computer hard drive. To overcome this issue, you need to identify the cause of the problem and carry out File Recovery.

Root of the issue

As stated in the above error message, this problem may occur either due to storage media failure or disk data structure corruption. The media failure can occur due to power outage, improper system shutdown, virus infection and operating system malfunction. The system structure corruption could be in the form of file system corruption, MBR (Master Boot Record) corruption, boot loader damage and more.

System data structure (also called metadata structure) is a specified method of storing and managing data on the hard drive. Data structures are used by all system software to effectively organize and access large amount of data. The most common data structures in Windows include file system, MFT (Master File Table), FAT (File Allocation Table), index table and partition table.

Solution

You can sort out this issue by formatting the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system. Formatting the drive fixes most of the disk and system data structure related issues. But formatting the drive also has a downside. It removes all the files from the selected partition or volume and causes critical file loss situations.

In such cases, File Recovery Software can recover files which are lost. These tools are capable of scanning the whole hard drive using efficient scanning mechanisms and extracting all of the critical files from it. With interactive and self-descriptive user interface, these software serve the purpose of performing user-friendly recovery.

The software is compatible with FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems based partitions and volumes. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003 and 2000.
