Lack of Shutdown Notification results in Loss of Data
To initiate any shutdown processing for a hard drive volume with a basic disk signature, a system file named “Scsiport.sys” sends a hwStartIo SRB_FUNCTION_SHUTDOWN event to the SCSI miniport. However, for a hard drive volume with dynamic disk signature, the above event does not occur any dynamic formatted volumes if the value for PORT_CONFIGURATION_INFORMATION CachesData parameter is set to TRUE. This results in loss of data from your hard drive. To overcome such data loss scenarios, an ideal way is to restore data from an updated backup. However, if you have not maintained any backup or backup falls short to restore the required information, then you will need to use advanced Data Recovery application that can completely recover your lost data.
Two main issues that can occur in case of a RAID controller adapter are discussed below:
-
To clear the write-back cache or the controller cache, the RAID controller relies on the shutdown IRP.
-
The volume cleanup and shutdown does not occur the shutdown event does not gets signaled. This could result in re-initialization of RAID volume. The re-initialization could take several hours, resulting in low performance and potential data loss.
Resolution:
To troubleshoot and resolve the above error message, you will to reactivate the failed volume and run CHKDSK utility on the affected hard drive volume. However, if the utility fails to resolve your problem, then you will need to obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. Once, you have installed the latest service pack, then you will need to restart your system. But, if you are unable to view the required information even after restarting your system, then you will need to use advanced Data Recovery Software to recover your lost data. A powerful data recovery software ensures complete recovery of lost and missing data from after all logical data loss situations. Designed by rich experienced and highly knowledgeable data recovery experts, the read only recovery application is built with highly interactive user-interface that makes it easy to understand and implement.
Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery is the most reliable and powerful data recovery tool that recovers data from FAT32, VFAT, NTFS, and NTFS5 file systems based volumes. The tool supports 185 different file systems that can be easily extended. The tool is compatible with Windows 7 (Currently in RC1), Vista, XP, 2003, and 2000 and recovers lost data from corrupted, deleted, formatted or lost hard drive partitions.
