When you start your windows computer, you may get an error message showing at boot window on a blue screen showing:
“Invalid Media Type”
When this error message is displayed, your system stuck in boot window. The same problem occurs every time when you restart your computer.
This error message is generally displayed when the boot sector of your defined primary partition is damaged or corrupted. This problem can also occur when you use a new partition as primary partition that has not been formatted. However, if the boot sector is corrupted, the operating system may assume that the partition is unformatted and this error message is generated.
The boot sector may get corrupted due to a number of reasons including boot sector virus, improper registry editing or file system corruption. In these situations, your system can’t boot.
As this problem is occurred due to the damaged or corrupted hard drive partition information i.e. boot sector, so to solve this issue, you need to reinstall your operating system to make a fresh boot sector.
But this is not a safe method. When you reinstall the operating system, you need to format the primary partition of your hard drive. The formatting deletes all the data stored on it. The scenario can become very worst in case where you have stored all your data on primary partition, or you haven’t partitioned the drive.
In these situations, you need to recover your lost data. You can recover the data with the help of data recovery software. These are the Do It Yourself method of data recovery that can help you in all possible cases of data loss such as formatted hard drive, accidental deletion, operating system corruption and virus attack.
