Corrupted Partition Data Recovery PDF Print E-mail
 
  The hard drive partition is a piece of disk space, which is marked there by the system NTFS, FAT32, XFS, RAiser...
utility embedded on the hard disk (cylinder 0, head 0 and sector 1, MBR) that contains detailed information on how the system is initialized. It holds information about sizes and locations of partitions on the hard disk. A hard disk can hold several partitions each with different type of File Systems.
* The partition table contains the MASTER BOOT RECORD (MBR)

Partition Table Recovery
MBR- Master Boot Record
The hard drive partition information is started on offset 1BEH of master boot sector. Each hard drive partition entry is 16 bytes long. The total hard drive partition table is 64 bytes long.
Therefore hard drive partition table is limited to a maximum of 4 entries. That is 4 primary partitions that can be created on hard disks.
Due to the limited entries in Primary partitions there is The Extended Partitions to solve this boundaries;
Master extended partition, the first sector of extended partition is not a boot sector, but another partition table, which is called logical partition table; which is limited to the extended partition.

Confused Now?
Every Primary hard drive partition must be Active or marked Active in order to be able to boot an Operating System. When the hard drive partition gets corrupted, an operating system can't be located or started. A hard drive partition gets damages due to many issues. Virus Infections can trash the partition, a power failure can cause the partition to be zapped and disappear, computer accidental drop and high temperature can cause the partition to get corrupted along with the file structure.
