Incomplete Partition Expending Operation May Cause Partition Loss in Windows

0 comments
In Microsoft Windows operating system, you can expend or resize the hard drive partitions using third party utilities. These tools can be used on both Dynamic disks and Basic disks. Before you can run these utilities, you must list and then select object to give it focus. In some cases, when you expend a Windows partition using any commercial disk resizing tool, process may halt halfway and partition might become inaccessible. This behavior results into serious partition loss circumstances and require Windows Partition Recovery to be solved.
In a practical scenario, while using a disk resizing application to extend a hard drive partition on MS Windows Server 2003 computer, you might come across a Stop error message that sounds like the following one:

“A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this message appears again, follow these steps:
Disable or uninstall any anti virus , disc defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.
Technical Information Stop 0x00000024 (0x0019033c, 0xf016e7a0, 0xf016e49c, 0xe061dcdc).”
In order to retrieve lost Windows hard drive partitions in such situations, find out the cause of this problem and go for appropriate Partition Recovery solution.
Grounds of the issue
This issue might take place if the disk resizing tool uses below IOCTLS (Input/Output Control Structure) and FSCTLS (File System Control Structure) control codes for expending the partition:
IOCTL_DISK_UPDATE_PROPERTIES IOCTL_DISK_GROW_PARTITION FSCTL_EXTEND_VOLUME
If a third-party applications, which you are using to expending Windows partitions uses FSCTLS and IOCTLS control codes, this problem may arise.
The ultimate result of this problem would be the loss of hard drive partitions and stored data. To recover lost partition and data from affected hard drive, Partition Recovery is required. The recovery is best possible using advanced and effective third-party applications.
Such applications are known as Partition Recovery Software. They deploy high-end scanning techniques to carry out thorough scanning of the affected drive and extract all of the lost, missing and inaccessible hard drive partitions. With interactive and simple graphical user interface. The tools are quite easy to use.
