subject: Error message that reads: "0×0000002E or DATA_BUS_ERROR [print this page] Error message that reads: "00000002E or DATA_BUS_ERROR
While working on a Windows-based computer, you may have encountered a STOP error that reads:
"00000002E or DATA_BUS_ERROR"
You find the error message on a blue screen which follows abrupt shutting down of the system. The system becomes unbootable along with the inaccessibility of the data saved on the system. This type of behavior of the system is referred to as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The most prominent reason for the inaccessibility of the data is the corruption of the hard disk. This results in the failure of the system to startup thereby making the data of the system inaccessible. However, with the use of hard disk recovery software, you can easily recover the data present in the hard disk in such a case.
Causes:
Some of the evident reasons of this error message are as follows:
This STOP error is a result of hard disk damage which is a result of virus attack to the Master Boot Record (MBR)
A bad hard disk drive can also cause this stop error
Other than the problem with hard disk, other reasons resulting in this error message are as follows:
Damaged RAM
incompatible or malfunctioning hardwares of the memory
accessing an address in the range of 08xxxxxxx that has no existence
Damages components of mother board
Resolution:
To resolve the above stated problem, you must perform the following procedures:
Run a virus scanner that would check for any virus in the MBR
Use the CHKDSK utility to validate your hard disk drive. In case your hard disk drive is a NTFS formatted, use CHKDSK with the /f (error-fixing) and /r (information recovery) switches. To do this, click Start and Run; type chkdsk /f /r in the Open field and click OK
However, even after you perform the above described resolution procedure, you may not be able to resolve the problem and you may get the same error message again and again. You will be at the risk of losing all your data saved on the system. However, with the use of hard disk recovery software, you will be able to recover the corrupt data in the hard disk.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery Software is one of such Hard Disk Recovery software with high efficiency. The software recovers lost/deleted audio/video files along with lost and formatted files and folders from the hard drive. This software allows preview of all the recoverable files.
