The configuration of your computer system is controlled and administered by system generator (SYSGEN) utility. System configuration enables you to meaningfully define all the peripherals connected to your system for input or output of data. Corruption in system configuration mainly happens due to damage to RAM (Random Access Memory), operating system malfunctioning, malicious software like virus and more. The problems that you might encounter after system configuration gets corrupted are unbootable system and data inaccessibility. In most cases, you encounter a STOP error message at system startup. Restoring backup enables you to overcome this hazard easily and quickly. But, in case of no backup availability, you need to use advanced Data Recovery Software.

As a practical instance, you receive the below STOP error message when you attempt to start your Windows XP based computer:

“STOP 0x00000074 (0x00000003, 0x00000002, 0x80087000) BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO”

Furthermore, when you attempt to start your system from the Windows XP CD-ROM, you receive another error message:

“The following file is corrupted: toside.sys”

Cause:

Few main causes for the occurrence of the above error messages are: • One or more of the RAM modules that are installed in your system are damaged • The RAM configuration is incompatible • Malicious software like virus To prevent the occurrence of the above error messages, you should use quality antivirus software and keep it up-to-date.

Resolution:

To troubleshoot and resolve the above problem, you will need to remove the problematic memory module(s) that are installed in your system. However, you need to leave enough RAM to run Windows operating system.

In case, the above resolution fails and the system remains unbootable, then you need to reinstall Windows XP operating system. A clean reinstall of Windows XP operating system will erase all data from the selected hard drive partition. To successfully recover your lost data after operating system reinstall, you need to use efficient Data Recovery Software. Such Data Recovery Tools completely scan your formatted hard drive by using advanced scanning algorithms. These recovery tools provide highly graphical user interface that makes them easy to understand without explicit technical skills.
