How To Solve Windows 7 Unbootable Post Mft Corruption

MFT (Master File Table) is probably the most critical system (metadata) files

, which stores information about all the files and folders on a NTFS (New Technology File System) volume. It acts as a beginning point for mounting an NTFS based hard drive. Corruption in MFT can be caused due to various factors, including operating system corruption, file system damage, fatal virus attack, and human errors. Once the MFT gets corrupted, the MBR (Master Boot Record) is unable to read the information stored on the hard drive, resulting into halting the booting of your computer system. This further results into inaccessibility of hard drive data. To overcome the hazards created after MFT corruption, most of the users perform restoration of data from an adequate backup. However, unavailability of data backup leaves you with no option, but to use a third-party data recovery software, which can systematically recover your lost data.

As a practical case, you receive the below error message while attempting to boot your Windows 7 operating system:

Recovering orphaned file xxxx. Insufficient disk space to recover lost data

However, even after running CHKDSK, the drive remains corrupt and you receive another error message:

$MFT read error

The drive remains unbootable after any of the above error message appear.

Cause:

The root cause for the above error message is MFT corruption.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error message and to access the database, you will need to format your computer system. Formatting is a process that installs a new file system that allows you to boot your system. While your system becomes bootable, the stored in it gets deleted post formatting. For recovery of data after formatting, you will need to download an effective third-party data recovery tool from the Internet.

A data recovery software incorporates high end scanning methods to comprehensively scan the hard drive and recover maximum possible data. The software comes with highly interactive help manual, which makes it easy to understand without any former technical knowledge. It is completely non destructive in nature.

Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery provides maximum Data Recovery in comparison to other applications. The software supports almost all Windows operating systems, including 7, Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000. Compatible with FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS5 file systems, the software recovers data after almost all data loss scenarios.
