All those who have worked on computers, know how important a hard drive is for a computer. With increase in storage space to many terabytes now, it is becoming increasingly important for a user to keep updating his system and maintaining the backup of it. For computers were and still are very vulnerable to data loss, despite all care and caution. These backups ensure that in case you encounter data loss, you can opt for comprehensive hard drive recovery.

Consider, that you install a device driver and update your Windows 7 OS. After successful installation of the same, when you restart your system, you face the dreadful blue screen with the following error message flashing on it:

‘STOP: 0×0000006B (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4) PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED’

Upset by this, you restart the computer, to get rid of the error, but again find the same problem. Irrespective of the number of boot attempts, you always face the same problem. Owing to this, all the data saved in your hard drive cannot be accessed, and you are at the verge of its loss.

The error is flashed due to a system conflict caused by installation of the device driver, a hardware device, its driver, or some related software. Blue screen error and stop code are clear indication that Windows has has shut down the computer abruptly to protect itself from data loss.

To work around this problem, you need to isolate the problem and to access hard drive. For this, follow the below mentioned steps,

  • Run virus scan on your computer
  • Run Chkdsk/r on the primary disk and also the Utility Drive hardware diagnostics to scan your hard disk
  • Also run Windows Memory Diagnostic test in System Recovery Option
  • If no errors are found, try to go for System Restore
  • If that doesn’t work, you may opt for Startup Repair
  • But if even these don’t help, then reinstall your Windows OS. Needless to say, a lot of data would be lost. But with comprehensive backups, it may not be difficult to perform hard drive data recovery, unless you opt for a specialized software to perform hard drive recovery.
