There are times when your computer may display a “Missing operating system” error during startup. This error usually occurs, when there are errors relating to the boot loader or the boot files. Though the data on your system is inaccessible, in reality, all the data is still present on the hard drive and can be recovered, if the recovery process is done in the right manner.

The problem is usually with the Volume Boot Record better known as VBR, which contains details about the various partitions on the hard drive. Damage to the VBR means loss of essential data required for accessing the data on the hard drive. This could occur due to virus attacks, malware, improper shutdown of the system etc. The only way you could get around this issue, is by formatting the whole drive. This would result in loss of data, and you would then require a Windows data recovery software to retrieve data from hard drive.

There is a method available to get back the lost data, by rebuilding the corrupted Volume Boot Record. This is a complex method, and involves many steps that have to be performed carefully. Not only this, there is no assurance that you can recover all the lost data. It is therefore advised that you make use of a good crashed hard drive recovery software to recover data from formatted hard drive.

REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software is a powerful recovery software, designed for systems that run on Windows O.S. The software performs a scan on the affected hard drive and recovers the lost files and folders from both NTFS and FAT partitions.
