One of the most debilitating and disconcerting problems, which happens, is a computer that does not boot. There are countless reasons why such problems take place, ranging from buggy, corrupted or damaged software (i.e. system software) to common hardware problems. Most common reasons of boot sector failure are as given below:
- A missing or damaged MBR (Master Boot Record), partition boot sector or partition table on the hard disk, which contain system partition.
- A damaged, missing or invalid file crucial to Windows startup process. It includes boot related files like NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM, NTOSKRNL.EXE, HAL.DLL and NTBOOTDD.SYS.
- Boot sector virus infection
- Missing or damaged Windows registry or registry with problematic settings.
- Invalid/misconfigured CMOS settings because of corruption or user errors.
- Hardware failure like hard drive, hard drive controller, motherboard or any other critical system components.
Though the list covers so many reasons of boot failure, but there could also other, less common cause of boot sector failure. Nevertheless the cause of the boot sector failure, the ultimate result would be unbootable system and finally the inaccessible hard drive and all of your business critical data.
