Rectifying Error Messages Caused Due To Delayed Write Failure In Windows Server 2003

A STOP error message at the startup of Windows Server 2003 primarily occurs due to file system damage, delayed write failure, MBR (Master Boot Record) corruption, metadata structure damage and more. In most cases of a STOP error message, the hard drive becomes unmountable and the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible. An ideal solution to overcome such hazards is to restore the data from an up-to-date backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short to restore the desired information, then you need to recover the data using advanced data recovery software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you encounter any of the below error messages when a delayed write failure event is reported in Microsoft Windows Server 2003:

“STOP: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0xffbccd68, 0xffbcda40, 0xff9b4d28)
BAD_POOL_HEADER”
The four parameters (0x00000020, 0xffbccd68, 0xffbcda40, 0xff9b4d28) listed in the error message differ with system’s configuration.
Or
“Stop 0xCD PAGE_FAULT_BEYOND_END_OF_ALLOCATION”
This error message only appears if the special pool feature is enabled.

Data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible after any of the above error messages appear. In addition, you encounter any of the above error messages when you attempt to boot your system.

Cause:

This problem occurs because a certain driver returns an empty device name to the operating system when a Delayed Write Failure event is reported.

Resolution:

To resolve the above error messages and access the data, you will need to perform the below actions:

* Install the latest service pack for Windows Server 2003
* Apply the Hotfix solution provided by Microsoft
* Restart your system

However, if Hotfix solution is unable to resolve the issue, the best option is to perform clean reinstall of Windows Server 2003. A clean reinstall of Windows will erase all the data from the selected hard drive partition. For complete of data under such situations, you need to go for powerful data recovery software.
