Missing System Hives In Microsoft Windows A Reason For Partition Loss

By:


The Windows registry is of two types: System hives and User hives. The system hives store system settings, and it is user independent. The system hive is named as System.hv, but its location is not fixed. If it gets damaged, the Windows will not boot up and and the data in your system will become inaccessible. It might result into partition loss and require windows partition recovery software to overcome this .

In Microsoft Windows 2000-based computer, you may receive the following error message when you restart it:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMced

The following error message could also be there:

System hive error

Such behavior of OS can result in partition loss. At this point, you need to find out the cause of this issue and achieve Partition Recovery by fixing it.

Reasons of this behavior:

Although there are many reasons behind this but the most prominent are as follows:

Due to the installation of a Promise Technology, Inc. ATA66 PCI controller card on your Windows system. This problem generally takes place while installing Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system.

The System hive in Windows registry is either missing or damaged.

Its quite possible that the Windows 2000 not be able to load registry if this is too large. This problem could take place when any process write so much data to System subkey in registry. This subkey is designed to store only information, which is essential for booting.

Computers, which are based on ARC (RISC) architecture or Intel architecture could only use 16 MB of memory at this stage of boot process. System registry subkey has to share 16 MB with loader, HAL, kernel and boot drivers.


In these situations, the only solution remains is to format the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. But this procedure removes all of the hard drive partitions and cause more critical data loss situations. Here comes the windows data recovery software for the rescue of your data.

These applications are particularly designed to scan affected hard drive in a safe manner and recover all the lost, missing data. These are very user friendly demand no specific technical knowledge.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the most comprehensive and robust tool to handle most of the partition loss cases. This software recovers all FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions. It is compatible with Windows 7 RC1, Vista, 2003, XP and 2000.
