Windows 7 Data Recovery After Hardware Incompatibility Issues
Microsoft Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, series of computer operating system developed and marketed by Microsoft Corporation. It is successor of Microsoft Windows Vista. It has a number of advanced security features and performance improvement. To take benefit of these added features, you may like to upgrade to Windows 7, but you should keep in mind that data loss situations may occur due to hardware compatibility issues. Such circumstances need windows data recovery to be sorted out.
Consider this practical scenario. You install Microsoft Windows 7 on your NVIDIA nForce4, nForce3 or earlier nForce2 system, which has a RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) array. The RAID OROM (Option Read Only Memory) version number is older than 5.6. This this case, the RAID array might get damaged and stored data may become inaccessible.
This behavior of Microsoft Windows 7 renders all of your valuable data inaccessible and leads to critical data loss circumstances. At this point, you need to find out actual cause of this issue and then carry out windows recovery by sorting it out.
Root of the problem
This issue takes place because the controllers of your RAID array has the PCI sub-class 0101. The Microsoft Windows 7 installation successfully loads and uses Microsoft IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drive for accessing hard drive behind RAID controller, which has the class code 0101.
However, the NVIDIA RAID configurations need a fundamental NVIDIA SATA (Serial ATA) drive. Thus, Microsoft Windows 7 installation could overwrite the existing array and lead to critical situations of data loss.
Solution
In order to prevent this situation, go through below steps before you install Windows 7:
-
Backup all your data and verify the class code of RAID controller. For this, follow underwritten steps:
-
-
Click Start-> Control Panel-> Device Manager.
-
Expand the Disk drives, right-click on SATA RAID controller and select Properties.
-
On Details tab, choose Hardware Ids from Property list.
-
Examine list of the hardware Ids:
-
-
-
-
If hardware Ids has CC0104, you can continue with MS Windows 7 installation.
-
If hardware ids has CC0101 or you can't determine class code, update OROM version through updating BIOS.
-
-
If you don't take above recommendations and face data loss, Windows Recovery Software come for your help to get your valuable data back. The Windows Data Recovery tools are powerful enough to safely, quickly and easily recover lost data in most of the data loss circumstances.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the most excellent solution for all your data loss problems. It is designed for Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, 2003, XP and 2000. The software recovers data from all FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file system partitions.
