Upgradation From Windows 98 To Xp Results In Error Message

To install and access the new features added in an upgraded version of the Windows, most of the computer users upgrade their operating system. While upgradation has numerous advantages but it can also result in complete data loss, if it is not performed systematically. In such scenarios, if the user has not maintained any back up of the lost data, then he needs to use efficient Data Recovery application to completely recover and restore the lost data. 

Consider a practical example, when a user upgrades the operating system from Windows 98 to Windows XP. After upgradation process is complete, when the user tries to access the data stored on the Windows computer hard disk, he receives the below error message:

“The system cannot read from the specified device”

After the above error message appears, all the data stored in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. Few reasons for the occurrence of the above error message are – logical partition corruption, hard disk not properly formatted or connected, incomplete upgradation etc. To resolve the above issue and access the data stored on the hard drive, the user can follow any of these measures:

• The user needs to verify that the hard drive is connected properly.

• If the hard drive is connected properly, then the user needs to re-install Windows 98. After Windows 98 re-installation is complete, the user needs to re-install Windows XP again.

If the user receives the same error message even after following the above measures, then the user needs to recover the lost data by using advanced Data Recovery Software. Data Recovery applications use superior scanning methods to recover data in all possible cases of logical data corruption.
